As a man, this San Francisco business owner is flesh and blood. He can be ignored. He can be destroyed. But as a symbol? As a symbol, he can be incorruptible. He can be everlasting. Meet "Boots." He has lived in San Francisco for twenty years. He's working on the outside rather than the inside.

Yes, friends. San Francisco crime has gotten so bad, a man has turned to costumed vigilantism. He's Kick-Ass, only IRL. And he's talking exclusively to whatever local news outlet this is.

"The criminals are getting to know us. I wouldn't call it an organized anything. It's just concerned citizens. Every day is a small victory. You chase them off from one corner. You chase them off from this street."

Boots patrols the streets of Fisherman's Wharf. His goal is to scare people away from breaking into cars, armed with nothing than a non-lethal weapon that kinda looks like a gun. It is unclear what he is going to do now that he just admitted this on the network news.

We've been hearing for years about what a sh*thole San Francisco is turning into. Both literally with holes in the sidewalk filled with human homeless poop, as well as figuratively speaking:

Store Owner Becomes Batman, Fights Off Punks With Baseball Bat During Another Smash and Grab

Shocking Video Shows $1M Smash-and-Grab Jewelry Store Robbery, Female Employee Thrown to the Ground

Progressive city crime is so bad, a cafe owner is forced to teach employees kung fu for their own protection

Video exposes how bad a Target has to lock down merchandise in San Francisco so it isn't stolen

San Francisco Mayor attacks DeSantis for calling city a cesspool, claims the drugs and poop are only a "snapshot"

Ignoring the problem hasn't stopped the problem. Defunding the police hasn't helped. Progressive voters voting for the same progressive politicians supporting the same progress policies and then wondering why they just got carjacked outside of a Benihana isn't working. Maybe Boots has what it takes.

He's not the hero San Francisco asked for. He may not be the hero the city needs. But he's the hero we have right now for content purposes.

Fair thee well, Boots. You have NOT failed this city.
