I wonder what that # is per state. In NC it appears to be 10.

Ohio seems to be 3 or 30 days based on other crimes that might be occurring.

Michigan is 24 hours for residential (holy shit that's great!) and indefinite for commercial properties as long as no other crimes are happening. Wut?

I just saw a "San Fran isn't bad what like Elon sed" with the argument that other cities have higher per Capita crime rates.

Fucking idiot journalists.

A bystander ignored his pleas for help and watched him die.

We've really got a kick ass civilization going here. Yay humanity!

Don't lump cities, especially San Fran, in with "humanity." Sane people don't live in them.

Whole Foods closing location in SF after 1 year due to theft.

Also in SF, a massive budget deficit, which makes their reparations plans all the more interesting.

Oh damn. Does not appear to have been a random mugging after all
Mission Local is informed that the San Francisco Police Department early this morning made an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech executive Bob Lee, following an operation undertaken outside the city’s borders. The alleged killer also works in tech and is a man Lee purportedly knew.

We are told that police today were dispatched to Emeryville with a warrant to arrest a man named Nima Momeni. The name and Emeryville address SFPD officers traveled to correspond with this man, the owner of a company called Expand IT.

Multiple police sources have described the predawn knifing last week, which left the 43-year-old Lee dead in a deserted section of downtown San Francisco, as neither a robbery attempt nor a random attack.

Rather, Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

Some manner of confrontation allegedly commenced while both men were in the vehicle, and potentially continued after Lee exited the car. Police allege that Momeni stabbed Lee multiple times with a knife that was recovered not far from the spot on the 300 block of Main Street to which officers initially responded.
That was not the popular narrative I saw.

Nor I, but it does not negate the things said about SF's out of control crime problem...unless you're a state senator in rural MO...

Dude still lay there dying for a long time before anyone helped, right?

It was 2:30am, yo.
This scenario would explain, in part, why Lee was walking through a portion of Main Street in which there is little to no foot traffic at 2:30 a.m.

I had seen it reported that at least one person walked by him as he laid dying.

Also, have you seen the stabbing in...Seattle? Actually, now I'm thinking Canada maybe?...at the Starbucks? Guy stabbed in broad daylight and in front of his wife and kid. Laying on the ground bleeding out and people are walking by and one dude is 10 feet away looking at him while drinking coffee.

Around 5:40 p.m. on March 26, two men were involved in an altercation outside the Starbucks at West Pender and Granville streets when one of the men was stabbed, according to the Vancouver Police Department (VPD).

A bystander immediately flagged a police officer who was able to arrest a suspect at the scene.

More officers soon arrived and provided first aid to the victim, but he later died in hospital.
This one?

True. Seems like something that should be taught in schools.

One wonders if in either case had someone stopped to apply pressure to the wound and call 911 if either man would have survived.

A lot of people are decent enough to call 911.

According to the article, someone got a police officer immediately, or nearly immediately
