Neighbors were "shocked" to discover that they do in fact live in The Real World™. EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 6 men ambushed in armed robbery, shooting in San Francisco's Mission District - ABC7 San Francisco

Residents in the area say they're horrified by the crime's brazen nature.

They thought that crime only happened in "other kinds of areas" to "other kinds of people." Or something.

The crime? Armed robbery.

While some of the victims huddled against a wall or put their hands up, one victim in yellow tried to fight back. One suspect threatened to shoot and when another victim did not back away, a shot can be heard. That victim is seen grabbing his leg and hobbling away.

Yet they seem oddly uncertain as to why crime is so out of control.

"It is horrifying what's happening in SF," said a woman who has lived nearby for 14 years. "San Francisco has changed in recent years. My kids had to leave the city. They don't want to raise kids in a place that's so scary."

Police have arrested people in the crime, but my bet is that by the time you read this, they will have been released from jail, because keeping violent offenders in jail is unfair.

If all you did was read this "news article" the context of what is going on the large cities would be a mystery. There is no mention of bail in San Francisco, and no mention of crime rates. No mention of the decriminalization of drugs, defund the police, or any other Progressive brainstorm from the past decade or more. As far as this article in concerned this is an isolated incident that has no bearing on anything else. And since the miscreants have been arrested, you should not worry about anything and go about your day.

I wonder what the bail situation is in San Francisco. Will they be/have they been turned back out on the streets to commit more crime?

When you eliminate fear of repercussions for crime, you will see more crime.
