Vigilantes in the Mission: What was Ammiano thinking?
Real solutions to crime and violence, not PR campaigns that may cost lives
By Lucrecia Bermúdez
The move of Tom Ammiano toward the center of the political spectrum amid his growing desperation to be elected to a fourth term as Supervisor seems to have no end in sight. His latest escapade consists of bringing a group of controversial vigilantes misnamed “Guardian Angels” to patrol Mission Street in military fatigues.
Ammiano’s rationale is the same as that of Gavin Newsom: if there is a spate of crime produced by the absence of jobs; if young people hang out in gangs because there are no sports and after school programs; if an underground drug culture flourishes because of the lack of health care treatment on demand, then the solution proposed by Ammiano and Newsom is to send in more cops.

Bush & Putin self-fulfilled prophesies: Slaughter and Terrorism
Frontlines Editorial Board
We are witnessing self-fulfilled prophesies. Bush orders the invasion and occupation of Iraq on bogus claims of terrorist links between Saddam and al Queda and the existence of WMDs.
Putin invades Chechnya making the bogus claim of fundamentalist terrorism against Russian civilians and the danger of WMD falling into the hands of terrorists.

Thousands rally in Moscow for imperial revenge after Beslan tragedy
MOSCOW, Russia (Frontlines with material from Reuters, AFP and AP)- An estimated 130,000 Russians massed outside the Kremlin to say no to terror after the Beslan school hostage tragedy, as families pressed on with an agonizing search for loved ones still missing. By all accounts, the staged rally had more to do with pushing an imperial policy on Chechnya than a funeral for those killed
A sea of people, brandishing banners and Russian flags, stood demanding revenge for the deaths of the 335 hostages and rescuers killed in the school siege and the 100 killed in plane attacks and a Moscow suicide bombing in past weeks.
The emotion sounded too manipulated to observers, and the officially approved rally was also brief and appeared choreographed, prompting unfavorable comparisons with the uninhibited outpouring of grief seen in Spain after the March 11 attacks. People were not demanding a withdrawal from Chechnya to end the carnage, they were crying for revenge.

Do you really think the local pusher cares whether "there are no sports and after school programs"? What about the Surenos and the Nortenos?
And yes we do need more programs for kids. But we also need to prevent them from getting shot. What's your solution?

The Guardian Angels is clearly the Democrats, including Democrat Tom Ammiano's, election fraud team. Ammiano could easily lose this election and the Democratic Party, notorious for election fraud in this city, does not want to lose to anyone left of them, which is what will certainly happen. The anti-communism of Tom Ammiano knows no bounds and he will certainly support whatever his rotten Democraic Party will do to help him get illegaly re-elected, after sitting in office for 10 years. Even the good anti-rent control, election fraud Democratic "mayor" Gavin Newsom supports Tom Ammiano. Ammiano proudly supports Israel, supported both stadium swindles, supports the entire Democratic Party ticket including warmongering and pro-death penalty Kerry, Feinstein,etc., and supported keeping the illegal cross on Mt. Davidson by privatizing public parkland.
Please do what you can to stop the election fraud. To all San Francisco voters in District 9: Steve Zeltzer and Lucrecia Bermudez are the socialist candidates for District 9 supervisor,; please vote for either one of them. The Green candidate, Rene Saucedo, is also better than Tom Ammiano. Vote Red in every election and for every office. Stop the election fraud.

He'll never get my vote.
your overwhelming concern for local issues, and a local politician's ability to address them.
wonder why no one votes left.... look no further.
wonder why no one votes left.... look no further.
Global issues, particularly this one, are more important than local issues.
especially as regards the local use of local power such as the position of a local supervisor implies.
what the left needs, is some more ideologically driven reductionism... especially from its politicians!
