"Everyone rushed to blame the homeless, but the real perpetrator turned out to be a tech executive" really is the story of 21st century San Francisco in a nutshell.
@mhoye this gives me flashbacks to growing up in a very class-stratified area and a party I went to full of druggies was all the rich kids, yet the stereotype is that it was the people in the poor town doing all the drugs.
@thomasjwebb when you realize that the main utility of stereotypes is preemptively legitimizing accusations, a lot of things become more… legible.

@thomasjwebb @mhoye

Who has the 💰?

I certainly didn't have a family lawyer. I would have gotten a pass for alcohol, but with no disposable cash, it was a rare thing.

@thomasjwebb @mhoye My flashback is about working on a college campus where they "don't allow drugs in the dorms" and you could read the policy, but they still set up a special drug-free dorm for folks who really meant it. Now we're in the age of fentanyl so I'm not sure how they handle it.
@mhoye
What are the chances this incident is used against the homeless anyway?

@mhoye

My first posted reaction was did the guy owe Musk money... I still stand by it

@mhoye
The root of SF's problem then is tech executives.
@mhoye On the White Supremacy News site, ppl are literally replying in kind with, "well while that might be, I believed it was true, so that really says a lot about society."
