Some California families are taking matters into their own hands as crime continues to skyrocket. According to reports, more than 150 families in San Francisco have employed private security to help ward off crime which has become all too common in neighborhoods. Reports of car break-ins, petty theft, and home burglaries have jumped 753% percent in the city from May 2020 to May 2021.

Fox News reports:

“We don’t feel safe in our neighborhood,” resident Katie Lyons, told CBS SF. “And we have an alarm, we have cameras on our property, but we want the extra security of having someone have eyes on our place.”

Lyons and other families hired patrol special officer Alan Byard to help patrol the streets of the city’s Marina District following repeated instances of car break-ins and home burglaries.

“It’s a nice area down here, people are afraid of what’s been going on,” said Byard. “They want a safe place to raise their kids. In the last year, I’ve had 10 of my clients move out of the city.”

Another San Francisco resident who has been in the area for over two decades remarked that he’s noticed a distinct uptick in crime.

“Oh absolutely, absolutely. This place used to be – nothing would ever happen here,” he responded.

Some residents say they’re no longer comfortable leaving their home with a purse after night and have been become less comfortable walking around in broad daylight, according to reports other residents say they just opt to drive or take ride services like Uber and Lyft everywhere.



    1. The guy responsible for this got back in office.
      Soooooo, there’s that. Can’t complain when you’re part of the problem.

  1. Welcome to the world of the democrats. I know in my own neighborhood in Arizona we have seen crime go up in the last year. When the democrats throw out our laws, we end up with lawlessness – high crime.

  2. All due to IDIOTIC Democrat policies and their refusal to take any responsibility or admit that this increased crime situation even exists!

  3. Isn’t SF one of those “defund the Police” cities? I don’t understand why people don’t get it! If you get rid of the ONLY deterrent that the criminals have, (now listen up Liberals) CRIME WILL GO UP! It is a fairly simple principle: The police are there to STOP the criminals from doing something that they have decided they want to do, so by that very nature they will be adversaries! That’s right, criminals do not like the Police! WOW, who knew? So the people screaming about defunding the police are not doing it for you, no matter what their signs say, no matter what celebrities (who, by the way, all have private security) say, the defund the police movement is not about making you safer from all the horrible police officers (Sarcasm greatly intended). The defund the police movement is about nothing more, than making it easier for criminals to commit crimes! Statistically speaking, there are far more “good” police officers than “bad” ones! Do they exist? Of course, in the same way there are “bad” workers in every profession. It is not an easy job to do. And all this hate, and talk about defunding is not making it any easier.

    1. ARE YOU KIDDING!!! NOT 1 single liberal will be able to figure your logic it is WAY to complex for them, it requires some measure of consideration and unbound thought, the ONLY ONLY ONLY type of thought they can accomplish mirrors the likeness of a dog, overtly simple to the point of not being what we would consider thought, I would venture to refer to it as reactive thought but it is not even that sophisticated, no in reality thee ONLY thing they will EVER EVER understand is a BULLET to the head. If you want peace and freedom you and millions of others will have to actually fight for it, NOT MAKE LOGIC HOPING YOUR DOG BRAINED ENEMY WILL UNDERSTAND! start organizing.

    1. Most times my posts never get through.
      If they do, they’re eventually deleted.
      I no longer offer my view, often.

  4. These foolis governments that follow the communist agenda of insurrection by defunding police bring nothing but violence, death and destruction on their citizens. SHAME on them.

  5. the continued support for these maniacs PROOVES mental instability among the left and we should be preparing to go to war.

  6. Yeah, the financially well off liberals are establishing their own private police force, all the while voting and cajoling you to vote for the bozos who are taking away YOUR police. Real, real smart liberals. And you all wonder why we call you libtards.

  7. What do you expect from people that poison our childrens minds and vote against our constitutional rights every election. They are a cancer that is killing America.
    Democrats are not your fellow Americans.

  8. the voters in these families need to remember this when their next elections comes up….otherwise they are wasting their money they could use to move out of Clownafornia…..

  9. they can’t wait to vote for the democrats next election! i have no sympathy for these idiots as they’re getting what they voted for!
