Horror in the Mission District

People are really upset about what happened in San Francisco’s Mission District last Monday.

Yes, a drone attacked along Valencia Street in San Francisco’s Mission District Monday night. Apparently the U.S. is not the only country with this “new” technology and a rogue nation was able to assemble a mini-drone from parts anyone could buy in a Radio Shack. Their target: a young start up executive who had swindled a fortune away from this country to fund one of the many technological innovations that he hoped would bring his firm to the IPO (initial public offering)stage.

The drone missiles reached their target and were successful but in the course of all of this, so much carnage and property damage was done on Valencia. The U.S. has experienced this “collateral damage” thing in its Drone strikes as well. Innocent mothers and fathers out walking their children were blown away. Small businesses which had nothing to do with this swindle were destroyed along with their employees and patrons. Young men and women just out for a good time were injured and maimed in ways that will take a life time to recover from. Apartments of those low income families who had not been forced out of the Mission by gentrification were destroyed leaving them homeless. A school was destroyed. In all five buildings were totally destroyed, 15 people killed and 30 injured. It was a horrible scene not unlike those experienced after attacks by U.S. drones overseas.

Meanwhile, people in upscale districts of this rogue nation were enjoying meals in their favorite restaurants, coffee with friends, a friendly drink as if nothing had happened on the other side of the world. They don’t see why they should be inconvenienced or even concerned about what happens so, so far away.

“How can people thousands of miles away do such hurt to us and go on living as if nothing has happened,” said one woman who lives in the Mission district.
