Jesse Jackson to Save us all

As reported by local crime blog SF Metblogs, we've been seeing an awful lot of violent crime lately. And, as their first commenter points out, it's the brown people who are to blame. Well, enough is enough -- we can't go on. We can't go on no more. No.

Only press conferences, snappy slogans, and celebrity do-gooding can save us now! From a recent press release:

Rev. Jackson and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition plans to attend a call for peace at Sunday, July 8 Ella Hill Hutch Community Center Rally, 1050 McAllister St. in San Francisco at 2 p.m.

At last! A "call for peace!" Why didn't we think of that? But instead of fighting crime with the most effective tools available (press conferences), the city's been wasting time deploying so-called "police officers" and conducting "community outreach" and issuing "injunctions" and "arresting gang members" and "securing convictions" -- whatever THAT means!
