This might be the most San Francisco story I've ever heard yet.

A convicted child molester set up a tent across from an elementary school
displaying a sign offering "free fentanyl for new users". He has been doing
this for two years without any interference from any level of government in
the city.

SFPD Captain Chris Canning: "I was told he is in compliance with all the
components of what his sex registration are."

Forward! Progressivism!

Isn't selling (or giving away) fentanyl still a crime in California? Or
has that been de-criminalized too?

There are literally dozens of things in California that are crimes under the
penal code but which police have been ordered by the 'progressive' Democrat
politicians not to enforce against vagrants and illegals. Normal taxpaying
citizens, however, still must strictly abide by every rule, ordinance, code,
statute, and law or risk ruthless enforcement action.

For example, back during the 2020 BLM Summer of Love, we had a curfew declared
in L.A. County due to the rioting and looting. I was on the beach that day,
reading and enjoying the sun and hadn't heard about it on the news. I was
dozing in my beach chair at 5:00 PM when I was abruptly awakened by the sound
of police siren behind me. A cop on a 4-wheeler told me I had to clear the
beach because of the curfew. As I started gathering my stuff to leave, I
pointed out to the cop that he missed the vagrant sleeping under a nearby
lifeguard tower. The cop told me the vagrant was exempt from the curfew.

So I, a normal taxpaying citizen who was neither suspected of nor accused of
any crime, was being banned from the beach and placed under house arrest but
the blasted out meth-addict who does nothing but leech off society and commit
daily crimes was exempt from enforcement of the law and was now the *only* one
who was allowed to enjoy a summer evening at the beach.

Two sets of laws, depending on who you are.

I did ask the cop, when he told me the vagrant was exempt, "What if I identify
as homeless? Can I stay here on the beach?" He said, "Please don't put me in
that kind of a jackpot. I've had a long enough day already."

Let me guess... he was a big guy, strong guy. And he had tears in his
eyes, no doubt.

We've heard this story before, I think...

The double-standard is blindingly obvious from your story. Still,
vagrancy and curfews are a far cry from open distribution of fentanyl.
How do the "progressives" in San Francisco rationalize turning a blind
eye to that?

Because they're 'compassionate' and 'sensitive' and oh so 'progressive' and
arresting anyone for drugs is just more of that racist War on Drugs that
Republicans thought up and we won't be doing any more of that, no sir, we
absolutely will not.

You'd think that they'd at least be able to tag him for
not having a business license (with that tent being his
place of business).

Oh, we don't do require that anymore, either, if the person is a vagrant
or an illegal.

Several years back, the city health inspectors and other code enforcers
were making it impossible for illegals to run food trucks and sidewalk
grills and fruit stands because they were doing their jobs and requiring
business licenses and health certifications.

Try opening a food truck or any other business that sells food to the
public in L.A. The mountain of red tape and bureaucracy you have to
hurdle is both expensive (upwards of $10,000 for a brick-and-mortar
restaurant; $2000 for a mobile food serving vehicle) and time-consuming.
It can take over a year to get through it all. Because of that, many
illegals began running food businesses without bothering to obey the
law. (I mean, why not, right? They didn't bother to obey the law in
coming here in the first place, why bother with any subsequent laws?) So
when the city health inspectors did their jobs and shut them down, the
city council deemed this "unfair to the immigrant community" and gave
illegals an official free pass on the whole "health and safety" part of
running a food business. They can no longer be shut down for not having
a business license or not having passed a health inspection. Normal
Taxpaying Citizens (NTCs), however, still must comply with every single
regulation.
The police department was also told not to enforce parking regulations
on food trucks run by illegals, so they now routinely pull up in front
of legitimate restaurants and start poaching their customers and there's
nothing the NTCs running those businesses, who followed every expensive
rule and regulation, can do about the illegal who didn't. They're told
by the cops that the illegals are hands-off. (And those same cops will
still ticket and tow the vehicles of NTCs who are illegally parked. Just
not the vehicles of illegals.)

Then there's driver licenses. The law in California is if you're caught
driving without a valid license, your car is impounded for 30 days.
The mayor of L.A. and the chief of police felt that was grossly unfair
to illegals because "they're just hardworking people who need their cars
to get to work to feed their families". The implication being, I guess,
that us NTCs *don't* need our cars to get to work to feed our families.
We're all just using them for joyriding or something. Nevertheless, it
became the official policy of the city of Los Angeles to only impound
the car of an illegal caught driving without a license for 3 days, not
30. NTCs, on the other hand, are still subject to the 30-day penalty.
(Never mind that this is a state law we're talking about and neither the
mayor nor the chief of police has the authority to just change the law
because they don't like it. Doesn't matter to them, though. They have an
Agenda and if disobeying laws they don't like is necessary to fulfill
it, that's what they'll do.)

If you're a homeless bum, you can do everything from blocking public
rights of way to erecting unpermitted structures, to public nudity and
public lewdness (there's a vagrant who regularly openly masturbates on
the La Brea on-ramp to the 10 freeway with impunity; cops have been
repeatedly called but they do nothing about it), to illegal drug use and
possession and trafficking, prostitution and pimping, arson, theft,
vandalism, and trespassing and absolutely nothing will happen to you
because the powers that be have declared the vagrants off limits. A year
or so ago, a family in Venice came back from vacation to find a vagrant
had broken into their home and trashed it and was living in it-- he was
bathing completely nude in their hot tub when they walked in. The cops
arrived and did nothing more than tell him he had to leave. They
wouldn't even arrest him. (I'm actually surprised they did that much.
It's entirely plausible in today's California for the cops to have told
the family the vagrant was now a tenant and had rights and they'd have
to go to court if they wanted to evict him and then arrested *them* if
they tried to run the vagrant off.)

But if NTCs do any of that stuff above, the cops'll arrest and/or fine
them in a heartbeat. You park your car in your own driveway and your
bumper is 1/2 inch over the sidewalk line, well by god you're 'blocking
a public right of way' and you'll get a $150 fine. Meanwhile, the
stinking vagrant two blocks down has erected an entire rickety wooden
structure over the entire sidewalk and covered it in tarps and newspaper
and is regularly squatting in the middle of the street to squeeze out a
steamer and the cops say "Huh? What?"

Race? Since when is the doper's race mentioned?

After stories like this boy am I glad my parents removed themselves
(and 2 year old lil old me) from Frisco way back when - though I very

Whenever you hear about 'mass incarceration'.

They love to trot out stats showing how 'disproportionate' blacks are in
the prison system. Of course they leave out how they also
disproportionately commit crime, so those prison numbers are no surprise.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that Sausalito was a criminal
enterprise, including the police force in 1968.

So, they didn't mention race at all, but you decided it did because it
fits your narrative.
