This is incredibly sad and disturbing.

Two women were killed last night by this man.

He was released last month after a burglary arrest.

(1/x)

According to the article he has a record of:
+ 2 counts of voluntary manslaughter
+ possession of a stolen vehicle
+ leaving the scene of an accident
+ burglary
+ driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs

There is a question as to who is responsible here, beyond the suspect.

Apparently he was released on 12/23 for another crime.

There is an algorithm which makes suggestions, which judges and the DA office use as inputs.

Here is our DA's response:

It is my impression that the balance of justice is off-kilter in SF right now.

Feels like career criminals can act with virtually no consequences, until someone gets killed.

The "broken windows" theory is feeling truer and truer to me.

"The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior, and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes" (6/x)

Our streets are filled with broken glass and our sidewalks are covered with garbage.

Store windows are boarded up and almost nobody is out now after dark.

I want to live in a city where couples stroll at night, hand in hand, feeling safe and enjoying the stars... (7/x)
I believe we as a city can have that again.

But we need to be tough on crime.

When people steal, destroy property, drive inebriated, and sell drugs they should not be awarded the same freedoms as law-abiding citizens.

They need to be either a) reformed or b) detained.
My heart goes out to the wrongfully convicted, and criminals serving overly long sentences. We need to improve our criminal justice system.

But -- I'm sickened by the loss of life that occurred last night.

That man should have been in jail.

(9/x)
When criminals are released again and again with tickets and "stay away" orders, a certain tone is set.

The tone is that crime is tolerated here.

We need a standard of behavior, and a social contract.

When that contract is broken there should be punishments.

(10/x)
The social contract of SF is in trouble.

If we want to inspire giving back, community engagement, philanthropy... we need civic pride.

To feel civic pride we first need to feel safe.

To feel safe, our systems and laws must feel just. (11/x)
What happened last night wasn't just.

It was the opposite.

It was wrong, it was tragic, and it was avoidable.

I am hopeful that we do a serious post-mortem on this case, and reevaluate our approach to repeat offenders.

This should never happen again.

More from Crime

We - myself from AIPWA, @kawalpreetdu from @AISA_tweets and advocate Sneha from @HRLNIndia are in Kanth, #Moradabad to meet the Muskan and Rashid, the couple who are victims of illegal arrest, forced abortion by @UPPolice under the hateful ordinance passed by @myogiadityanath


We found that 1) Muskan is very weak after her miscarriage, and the Moradabad District Hospital where she was admitted has not given her the treatment papers, nor any course of antibiotics and painkillers to prevent post miscarriage infections that can affect fertility in future

2) The first dose of antibiotics & painkillers Muskan received is today - after we got her to speak on phone to a senior gynaecologist in Delhi, who explained that antibiotics are always prescribed following a miscarriage, to prevent infections.

3) Muskan alleges that the hospital administered abortifacient injections after which she suffered a miscarriage. What is indisputable is that the hospital deliberately failed in its duty to a patient, a) by not telling Muskan re the miscarriage b) by not prescribing antibiotics

and c) by withholding her treatment papers which every patient is supposed to receive
Moreover, how did the head of the UP State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Dr Vishesh Gupta, declare that pregnancy was intact? On whose orders did Dr Vishesh Gutpa lie?

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
