Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat on 26th and Harrison
The SF Examiner reports that a 17-year-old guy was brazenly shot in front of Bob’s Liquor and Grocery at 26th and Harrison yesterday afternoon:
Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said the teenager was standing in the doorway of the business when a two-door car pulled up. A passenger exited and shot at the victim, she said.
The victim ran into the store and the shooter got back into the car, driven by a female, and fled.

This is the sketchiest liquor store (and corner for that matter) in the Mission. There have been many shootings there in the past 2 years. The streets surrounding the projects here have become a no-go zone at night. It’s almost like it was when the old projects were there in the early 90s.

and the 80s too. I never understood why they destroyed the old buildings, built nice new ones and then brought the same people back, as if the structures were the problem.

I live just a skip from there (26th+Lucky) and once avoided that store on a late-night crucial mission (toilet paper run) when others in the area were closed, just because most of the gunshots I hear in the hood seem to originate from that exact intersection. Police presence has been increased in the last month or two, but they’re still only in squad cars.

Not more depth here. just some residents blaming the police. The police know what’s going on and they know who is doing what but no one living there will cooperate or testify. It’s understandable because they fear the gang retaliation. But for fuck’s sake, you can’t blame the police for that, blame the gangs who makes everyone’s life miserable! About 3 years ago, a family friend of ours had her husband shot to death while trying to stop some kids from beating up a man. The police knew it was a 15 year old kid that lived in the “dwellings” but they couldn’t do shit about it because no one there would help. Can you imagine a fucking 15 year murderer running around free!!!? (18 years old now)In the meantime, our friend is raising a child without a father. It’s fucking bullshit and so is blaming the police. I’m sorry but during construction when the buildings were gone, things were better. Now that the same people are back, so are the problems. Stop blaming the police already.

Interestingly enough, looks like this weekend’s Sunday Streets event is centered at Garfield Park: http://sundaystreetssf.com/?page_id=474
Also – now might be a good time to give people a heads up who didn’t see the street closure notices and got their cars towed last time……
