Bob Lee’s tragic death is a sobering reminder of the crime catastrophe in San Francisco. The city has been a hub for homelessness and violent crime, but the situation gets worse every year as far-left radicals run it into the ground while demanding to “defund the police.” Homicides are up, and this trend will continue as long as Democrats have complete control of the city and state government.
Some are using Bob Lee’s tragic killing to make a point about rampant violent crime in San Francisco, but the facts don’t support their claims. While Lee’s death is horrific, violent incidents like these are very rare in San Francisco compared to other large US cities, according to FBI data. Despite claims to the contrary, San Francisco isn't a dangerous place to live.
