Citizens in a residential area of San Francisco are bolstering their homes with chicken wire in a bid to keep out intruders.
Happening in the city's Richmond District, the safety measures come amid a recent jump in burglaries, robberies, and homicides in the affluent neighborhood.
Headline-grabbing incidents like thieves making off with a Bank of America ATM earlier this year have even longtime residents on edge - with some installing cameras and safety locks along with the unconventional farm equipment.

Hey! Don't forget the old tried and true Central America answer, cement WALL with glass embedded in the top. It will make your intruders feel right at at home

I find a well trained German Shepherd and plenty of guns and ammo work well too.

An exercise in futility. Follow the Canadian model and just leave your valuables on the porch. No one will get hurt, and you'll be helping those in need.

I find voting for Soros funded DA's is a real drag on personal freedom. You get what you vote for. All civilized societies punish people for uncivilized behavior.

Yes #3, Toronto is telling it's residents to leave their key fobs on the front porch. That way the bad guys don't have to break into your house for the keys.

People: Whatever you do leave your car keys on a nail outside your door so the thieves will not have to break into your home to get them.

Look at the positive side. The chicken wire will keep out the mosquitos. Modern day San Francisco has got some really meaty mosquitos. And they're packing the heat. Next up, booby traps and punji pits with sharpened sticks dipped in poo.

Meanwhile, Pelosi sits in a rocker on her front porch sipping a mint julep while watching her peasants work her vineyards.

Isn't that a type of "wall"?
They really thought there were no consequences to the Progressive agenda and policies.
And, voting for another Democrat isn't going to change much either, they will pretend to be moderate (which will look like a Republican compared to the Progressive Democrat) but it won't last.

But Dems tell us that "walls don't work"??? Except around Obama's house, and Pelosi's house, and around Joe's beach house....and the White House, and all around the Capitol whenever they are doing something particularly crooked.
Deport all illegal aliens.
Build the Wall!
MAGA!

No sympathy for people who are unable to understand "cause" (their votes) and "effect"
(increased crime, drugs, and everything that comes with that). They are so infested with TDS and their hatred of conservative values that they cut off their nose to spite their face. What horrible things do these "useful idiots" think will happen to them if they vote for some "Rs" for a change? Might be an interesting experiment.....

Where ever they move to, the people that live there should pass an ordinance that sets a waiting period before newcomers can vote, like maybe 20 years. You don't want them infecting their new home with their obvious stupidity.
