I saw all the commotion and it made my stomach crawl. I am appalled at the crime I am seeing lately in my beloved Mission- where I have resided for 15 years.
I was walking down Valencia near 16th last month around 1am (as I have done for YEARS) and was assaulted, robbed, stabbed in the neck and left for dead. They cut into my carotid artery. Luckily I was found by a brave woman who called 911 and I was taken to General where I received surgery to stitch my artery. I am going to be fine physically, but the emotional toll is the hardest part.
Fucking crazy!

walnut creek?! now you’re just being cruel.

like farina, but describing the location as being rife
with “Crips, Bloods, Norteños, the 18th St. Gang, and others”
is just alarmist, and frustrating to those of us who actually
live here instead of merely seeking our recreation here.

hit the floor and wear your diaper or, better yet, PLEASE
move to walnut creek and leave san francisco well alone.
