You should understand that San Fransisco has serious problems with homelessness and crime. While some people may have been mistaken about the root cause in this particular case, that doesn't invalidate their very real concerns.

I think sidetracking this with charged political comments and silly hypotheticals trivializes a serious issue.

It's true that the perfidious Other did not commit this particular crime even though I speculated immediately that They did. However, keep in mind that they are still a big problem! Me being wrong doesn't mean they're not!
You think you're being clever but you're just unwittingly being true. SF problems existed well before the case of Bob Lee and will persist - with the help of people like you - well after. Whether or not this particular case is part of them we'll soon see, but either way the problems are absolutely real and obvious to anyone not working very hard to not see them.

I don't doubt they have concerns. I doubt their ability to reason.
Using a single case as if it defines whether or not a massive systemic problem exists is not "ability to reason". It's ability to score gotchas on the internet. It's not the same thing.
