Thus, when San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Rafael Mandelman offered an explanation for the robberies, it was hardly a stunner.<\/p>\n<p>What was a surprise is that his excuse for kids \u201cdoing these really awful things\u201d actually might not be off-base.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, what happened with kids not being in school, I think there may be something going on with that, that we\u2019re going to be experiencing for a while,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose couple of years where school was erratic or non-existent, where everyone was under stress, parents and caregivers were under stress. That was probably impacting vulnerable communities more anyway,\u201d Mandelman added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSociologically. who knows what was going on, but I would not be surprised if we are going to be experiencing the lingering impacts of that for a generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, San Francisco has had a crime problem for some time; it was bad enough that in 2022, the city recalled progressive, Soros-funded District Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tucker-carlson-george-soros-actively-subverting-rule-law-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chesa Boudin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn\u2019t necessarily improved matters, however, with the Telegraph citing an 11 percent increase in robberies for the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViolent robberies are being carried out in broad daylight in wealthy enclaves such as Noe Valley, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idf-assisting-with-response-to-miami-building-collapse-turns-down-free-hotel-rooms-to-sleep-in-tents\/\" title=\"IDF Assisting With Response To Miami Building Collapse, Turns Down Free Hotel Rooms To Sleep In Tents\">tight-knit community<\/a>, where free yoga classes are held every Sunday in the town square,\u201d the Telegraph noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne victim of the string of recent attacks, who only wished to be identified as CW, said the police appeared to have \u2018zero interest\u2019 in investigating her attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was thrown to the ground by a boy who stole her phone last Monday when she was on the way to collect her daughter from the nursery. A neighbor\u2019s security system caught the car on video and she was able to track her phone for 18 hours after the attack. But after she reported the crime, no investigator responded to the developments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another mom talked to the Telegraph about being punched in the face and having her phone stolen \u2014 all by robbers using the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/two-men-think-electric-vehicle-will-make-great-getaway-car-battery-starts-running\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">getaway car<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor 24 hours, I had been trying desperately to get the police to engage with me to stop these guys. Zero response. And then it happened again in the same location,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mandelman\u2019s explanation? While San Francisco\u2019s progressive approach has done a good job of \u201cdismantling the systems\u201d (if any explanation of what these \u201csystems\u201d were was given to the Telegraph by Mr. Mandelman, it was sadly missing from their report) without actually, you know, solving the issues that cause crime.<\/p>\n<p>Which is accurate, except Mandleman probably isn\u2019t the guy you want in charge of implementing those solutions: \u201cI don\u2019t think that our interventions for people who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/worldwide-protests-against-vaccine-mandates\/\" title=\"Worldwide Protests Against Vaccine Mandates\">committing petty crimes<\/a> are particularly effective,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, fine, you don\u2019t put people in jail, but what are you doing? Well, if you\u2019re doing nothing, then what\u2019s the outcome going to be? Not great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, what, are we bringing back those \u201cscared straight\u201d visits to jail? Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dr-phil-show-coming-end-two-decades-much-wish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Phil<\/a> send them to teen boot camp? At least Mandleman identifies two of the city\u2019s issues: shuttering schools because of the COVID panic and a soft-on-crime policy that likely ensures none of these miscreants will face any serious repercussions from their actions. Beyond that, he seems to be clueless.<\/p>\n<p>He is right, however: San Francisco, like so many other American cities, has created a sociological problem that will haunt us for decades to come.
