Here we see the start of a memorial at Capp and 24th Streets, right on the spot where a 19-year-old male lost his life in a double shooting last night. Are those bullet holes? Yikes.
Although, according to one SFist tipster, "someone took away the candle" moments ago. Which: why? We think the memorial grow far and wide. Hey, wouldn't this be a smashing way for you to silently voice your concern about the escalating violence in the San Francisco? (You know, better than, say, making yet another vile racist remark in our comment section?) If you're walking along 24th Street today, throw down some lilies, a $.99 candle or four, handmade posters, or whatever. We're talking Princess Diana memorial-sized public outcry here, folks--that's the only way this will work. Because the larger it gets, the more the likely the media will lap it up, and the less likely you are to be killed while heading to BART. A win-win, really.
