Gooder and harder, as the Instapundit says.
Everyone’s favorite mock news site (except liberals’s, perhaps) has been outdone by reality. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition* has instructed its members not to report bicycle thefts to the police. Why, you ask? Here’s why.
From PM.
San Francisco crime has skyrocketed since 2020 and bike theft has grown into an epidemic in the Golden City. In response the San Francisco Bike Coalition wrote on their “considerations” section of their website that victims of bike theft should reconsider calling the police as “Black and brown” people could be harmed from the interaction.
It gets better.
The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition wrote about their dedication to anti-racism in 2020 and have held panels on the intersection of race and bicycles and promised to end the systemic bicycle white supremacy.
And better still.
We have a long way to go to understanding the intersectionality of race and biking. This panel of experts will discuss how anti-Black racism manifests in the biking community, in @sfbike, and in Bay Area urban planning . . .
Now how can the Bee top that?

Five years ago, when your Tatler was debating whether or not to ditch the city he loved, New York, the decision was made for him by the City’s voters, when all of 17-percent of them turned out on Election Day to re-elect, by a substantial margin, the City’s worst mayor in modern times, Warren Wilhelm, Jr., aka Bill de Blasio. This despite his undoing in only five years the twenty years good work by previous Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg making New York the safest big city by far in America and the envy of mayors in cities worldwide.
Your Tatler reasoned if the 83-percent of New York voters who chose not to vote, as well the majority of the few that did, had so little concern about the soaring crime rates and plummeting quality of life in their city, then they were getting exactly what they deserved and that things would only worsen. He put his apartment up for sale, got his asking price and left. Four years later, things indeed have gotten substantially worse in New York and get, to use the Shakespearean comparative, worser by the day.
Whether or not the views of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition represent those of most San Franciscans cannot be determined by simply by the silly little item above, but this writer, who has lived among brain-dead liberals most his life, has a pretty good idea they do, thus they too are getting exactly what they deserve, as well the people of most Democrat-controlled cities in this nation. What a tragedy these awful people willingly let this happen.
*It’s a good bet any organization with “coalition” in its name is as commie as they come.
