PJM: This week, a video went viral of a man being detained by police on a public transportation platform in San Francisco, Calif., for eating a sandwich. You can see the police officer in the video below insisting that eating is a violation of the California penal code.
It turns out that while he might be slightly off base, it’s mostly true. The California penal code lists eating on public transport property as a “miscellaneous crime” in section 635-652.
(2) This section shall apply only to acts committed on or in a facility or vehicle of a public transportation system.
(b) (1) Eating or drinking in or on a system facility or vehicle in areas where those activities are prohibited by that system.
According to the code, the man eating is breaking the law because he is at a facility owned by the public transportation system and he is not in the designated eating area. However, this law is rarely enforced. In the same code, a few lines down is this gem: MORE
Does that apply to sh t eaters too?
It’s offensive in a city with such institutional inequality for a member of the top 50% to flex one’s nutritional privilege in front of the streetshitting, homeless heroin junkies this way.
Perhaps a mandatory buyback of his sandwich is in order.
Someone has to pay the fines for those penniless crappers. If you can afford a burger, you can afford a fine. It’s that perfect sense for the knowledgeable of SF CA, don’t you know.
I can’t help but think that the Left is conducting its Battle of the Buldge.
They know their backs are against the wall, and they are conducting a number of last ditch efforts to try to win. If they don’t win, they are done. If they do win, the country is done.
We have not yet begun to fight.
If the Left does win, the rank and file will be in for a rude awakening when they find out that they, too, will become “collateral damage.”
With all the Millions and Millions and MILLIONSD of Dollars spent on CROOK BOOKS bought by NotthePublic in those Blue States you would think the Reading Line MATH SAT Scores would be much much Higher.
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

That’s a real sh_t sandwich
Looking at these miscellaneous laws and you can see it’s all about revenue and nothing else.

Here is to hoping you have been ripped off at least 6 times
That will prove 1 of 2 Truths.
1: You are stupid.
2: You too are a crook.
Just keep penalizing the hard-working, over-taxed-paying, productive side of society with the New Liberal Communism of Unnecessary, Over-Reaching, Over-bearing, High-Handed, dictatorial “regulations”, followed by the selective application of “laws” based on what they think they can get away with, including sanitized explanations for our “protection” and all the Pay-To-Play graft, massive democRat corruption and continuously streaming preposterous propaganda to prop it all up!

Since they decline to prosecute quality of life crimes, it must mean they want the Public to do it for them.
We just need to decide on punishment
Pissing on the sidewalk in front of my house: Ass whuppin
Crapping on the sidewalk in front of my house: Ass whuppin with a stick and I put the feces in your hair with a shovel
Shooting up in front of my house: Ass whuppin with a stick and I will strip you naked and chase you for six blocks with a pitchfork poking you the entire time

2 hours ago – The high bay waters, known as ‘acqua alta’ are flooding the streets and floorspaces, according to city hall.
I read about a business owner in Denver who was being fined by the city for not cleaning up the piles of feces left by the homeless on the sidewalk in front of his business. Apparently, it is legal for hobos to crap on the sidewalk and if you don’t clean up after the vagrants, you will be fined. Is it time for pitch forks and torches yet?

Sounds about the same as eating your lunch in a public restroom stall.
