So for over a week now Elon Musk's circle of friends have been going on and on insisting that Bob Lee's killer was obviously an unhoused individual and blaming the city for not jailing more people.

Now, it turns out that the guy who killed him was another tech exec who knew him, and they were originally in a car together.

@mmasnick I think we all know this needs an aggressive police response to the threat of violent tech crime: employ strict curfews, stop and frisk, and probably a tech focused police task force.

This has to be full on broken windows policing. If you see a group of tech execs congregating anywhere they could potentially commit a crime—street corners, bars, convention centers, conference rooms—then you need to call the cops to come and break that up. We need to take this seriously, lest our cities be taken over by a wave of tech on tech crime.

Why pick on Patagonia? Aren't they becoming employee owned?

@CRSG @jschuh @mmasnick @adam nothing against Patagonia as a company—more the symbol of wearing their vest with your tech company logo. https://www.kqed.org/arts/13911475/patagonia-vest-san-francisco-tech
