Born and raised in SF, and have been defending this city for years, even though I moved out in 1999. But to get shot in union square in the middle of the day? Something's not right here.

My last trip to SF we waited for a cable car. My wife went into a Burger King and a homeless man walked in, and took a swing at the security guard with a crow bar. The security guard ducked, the homeless man walked out and business went on like usual. Police never came. Just another day in a deep blue Democrat run city.

No picture of the suspect? I wonder why?
