San Francisco’s State This Week: Naked Shootouts and Flying Cars Go Viral
San Francisco’s Crises: Crime, Homelessness, and Fleeing Businesses
Under Democratic leadership, San Francisco is grappling with a series of crises that are taking a toll on the city. This week, three viral videos have shed light on the real consequences of these challenges.
The Most Shoplifted Walgreens in the Nation
In a CNN segment filmed at a Walgreens in San Francisco, correspondent Kyung Lah investigates the store’s strategy of chaining freezers shut and putting ice cream behind padlocks. During the broadcast, Lah witnesses three robberies firsthand. The store faces over a dozen robberies per day and even locks up products like nail polish and mustard.
A Carjacking and a Dramatic Crash
Another TV report captures a car flying over an embankment in the city and landing on its hood. Three suspects flee the scene, with two of them eventually getting arrested. The car had been carjacked just moments before the crash, and police discover alcohol and a gun at the scene.
A Naked Woman Firing a Gun on the Highway
A shocking video recorded by motorists on Interstate 80 shows a naked woman firing a gun in the air and at passing vehicles. Prior to exiting her car naked and firing the gun, she reportedly brandished a knife at other drivers. Police later apprehended her and took her away in an ambulance.
The Struggles of San Francisco
These viral clips serve as a stark reminder of the challenges San Francisco is facing. Homicides in the city have increased by nearly 40 percent from 2020 to 2022, and deaths from fentanyl have spiked. Additionally, office vacancies have reached a record-high rate in the second quarter of this year, with companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Salesforce trying to abandon their office spaces in the struggling city.
Major retailers are also feeling the impact. Old Navy has announced the closure of its flagship store, while Whole Foods and Nordstrom have shuttered businesses in the city due to safety concerns. Since the start of the pandemic, the downtown area has lost half of its businesses.
San Francisco’s Democratic mayor, London Breed, is now facing early opposition in her reelection campaign from a former ally who is building a tough-on-crime platform.
