The situation has reached a point of utter chaos, where the homeless population openly displays their drug use without shame for the world to witness. A man there recently put up a brazen sign that read “Free fentanyl 4 new users” and “Meth for stolen items.”
They're just shameless...

From PJ Media:
Joseph Adam Moore served six years for unlawful sex with a 12-year-old girl and was accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl just a month after getting out of prison. But his probation deal did not include staying away from schools. So he camped directly across from Stella Maris Academy and began to host parties of stoners — much to the neighborhood’s dismay.
“Some of these people brought barbecues, a beach umbrella, and even a dune buggy that sat on the pavement,” said Nathaniel Weiner, a neighbor. “They’re ‘creating a Burning Man-style party’ in a quiet residential neighborhood where people are just trying to live their lives.'”
Note that I haven’t even used the word “police” in this piece. Apparently, the only law Moore is violating is the one about public camping. The cops are hamstrung by about a thousand rules and regulations regarding the treatment of the homeless; they can’t be forced to go anywhere or do anything; they can’t be forced into a mental health facility; they can’t even be forced to go into a shelter.
Dan Noyes, a reporter for ABC7 in San Francisco, had an enlightening interview with Mr. Moore.
Moore says he’s lived across from the school for two years and that his signs offering free drugs are no joke. He told Noyes that “he’s just passing on the drugs that other people give him, in exchange for blankets and supplies he provides.”
This Moore guy sounds like a real stand-up fella, huh?
Unless San Francisco undergoes a comprehensive overhaul of its entire political system and addresses the homelessness issue decisively, the situation will inevitably worsen.
In no time, it may find itself in a situation akin to Detroit, or possibly even worse.
