This link is about a class down in L.A. for landlords. It teaches them methods of self-defense against violent renters who attack them, which apparently is a “thing” lately.

The Grey Lady herself, The New York Times—bastion of liberalism—published an opinion piece the other day, entitled “Even Democrats Like Me Are Fed Up With San Francisco,” written by a rich venture capitalist, Michael Moritz, who among many other credentials is a major philanthropist and a financial backer of the Lincoln Project.

By Citizen’s Arrest, I hereby file charges against C. Fife, N.F. Bas, S. Thao, C. Brooks, R. Kaplan and D. Kalb for the attempted murder of the City of Oakland.

I don’t mean to pick on Carroll Fife. For more than a year I’ve had an open invitation to her to join me for tea so we could get to know each other. I’m sure she’s a delightful companion. But what she stands for is repugnant.

Therefore, I take her seriously enough to deconstruct her tweets and rebut them. So here we go.
