This is what Democrats would like to do to the entire nation

A group of homeless people and housing activists took over a privately owned Mission District duplex on Sunday in what served as the climax of a protest designed to promote use of San Francisco’s vacant buildings as shelters for the needy.

But the owner of the property – who was targeted over his eviction of a tenant – said the demonstration was nothing more than breaking and entering.

And, the police?

More than a dozen police officers were on hand, most standing on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. Asked earlier whether they would take action if protesters occupied the property, officers declined to comment. One said, “We’ll see.”

By 3 p.m., all had left but one, who stayed to ensure that “nobody is out of hand,” said a police official, Sgt. William Escobar. No arrests had been made.

In a sane, law abiding society, the police might actually, you know, enforce the law they swore to uphold. But, hey, it is San Francisco. It gets better

Because of housing speculation during the real estate boom, “a lot of tenants were evicted,” Gullicksen said. “Now a lot of those homes are sitting empty. The city should be doing something to turn vacant buildings into affordable housing.”

Or, maybe you could get off your butt and earn the money, bub.

“The city should have protected me,” he said. “It’s like they don’t see me. It’s like I’m a ghost to them.”

Entitlement Nation.

Gullicksen called it an act of civil disobedience.

“They can characterize it as an illegal act, but that doesn’t mask the fact that the building has been sitting unused and that Jose Morales was evicted from there,” he said.

So what? Who owns the property? We do still have private property here in the US of A, bub. Don’t tell the San Franciso police that, though

About 5 p.m. Sunday, he said, police knocked on the door of the building and asked protesters how long they planned to stay. According to Gullicksen, they responded that they had no immediate plans to leave.

You arrest them, you morons.

Michelle Malkin has more, along with the official flyer for this unlawful act.
