I have been reporting on the staggering escalation of crime in California, which has become so dire that new terms have been created to describe the acts of theft and violence.
In San Francisco, the situation is grim enough that its voters decided to vote out a George-Soros-backed district attorney. It hasn’t helped, as a CNN crew’s van was robbed practically in front of a security guard hired to protect it.
Now it appears nobody is truly safe in that city. Case-in-point: Bob Lee, a technology executive who founded the mobile payment company Cash App, was stabbed near the upscale Rincon Hills area of San Francisco.
Bob Lee, a technology executive who founded the mobile payment company Cash App and previously worked at Square, died Tuesday after he was stabbed near downtown San Francisco, according to his family.San Francisco police said officers responded to a report of a stabbing around 2:35 a.m. Tuesday. The officers found a 43-year-old man with apparent stab wounds. He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and died later, police said.Authorities did not name the man; Lee’s father and brother identified him as the victim.
No arrest has been made in the case and San Francisco police have not released any suspect details.
Surveillance tape shows Lee struggled to find help after he was stabbed.
Surveillance footage reviewed by The Standard shows Lee, who had already been stabbed, walking up Main Street away from the Bay Bridge at around 2:30 a.m. Lee crosses the intersection at Harrison Street and walks up to a parked white Camry with its hazard lights flashing.Lee then lifts his shirt—as if to show the driver his wound and ask for help—and falls to the ground after the car drives away, the footage shows. He gets up and walks back toward the Bay Bridge before falling to the ground again outside an apartment building called the Portside.At some point, Lee dialed 911 and repeatedly screamed for help, saying he needed to go to the hospital, according to the records reviewed by The Standard. Lee made the call at 2:34 a.m. and police arrived on the scene less than six minutes later.Lee was unconscious when officers found him on the ground, police said.
San Francisco residents are currently evaluating exactly how awesome it really is to live there.
People are now looking to the new district attorney for relief.
Elon Musk was among those commenting on Lee’s murder, and asked the San Francisco district attorney, Brooke Jenkins, what she is doing to ‘incarcerate repeated violent offenders’.Musk said, in response to a tweet expressing sorrow at Lee’s death: ‘Very sorry to hear that. Many people I know have been severely assaulted. Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.’Is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders Brooke Jenkins?’
Sadly, California chalks up another “slash and dash” death.
