This Afghan American store owner says San Francisco has become "worse than Afghanistan"

Look, I don't know how many times we have to tell you folks to get out of big cities, but this just might be the final straw for you peeps out in NorCal:

Yes, an Afghani immigrant store owner in San Francisco says that city is now "worse than Afghanistan."

No joke, this dude's tobacco store was ransacked by a bunch of thugs who "stole roughly $80,000 in merchandise and $20,000 in cash." He's furious, and I can't blame him.

The co-owner of Cigarettes R Cheaper in San Francisco's Richmond District, who is referred to only as "Zaid" in the report, is speaking out after burglars stole roughly $80,000 in merchandise and $20,000 in cash from his store last week, Fox News says.

Zaid reportedly claims that a little more than a half-dozen thieves smashed his store windows last Tuesday and had plenty of time, around 20 minutes, to "ransack" the store as "they know the police won't do anything"...

Zaid said it was about seven individuals who made off in two separate vehicles and that the SFPD told him the over 20-minute long response time comes as they are short-handed, which Fox News reports to be true, if not understated.

"They know the police won't do anything."

Yup, sounds like San Francisco to me.

Such progress they're making out there on the West Coast!

When we spoke, he had tears in his eyes he described how SF has turned into a 3rd world country, "just like Afghanistan" he said. He has tried to press his concerns to city hall "but no one in the city listens".

More from the store owner:

"The politicians need to get a grip on this because It's worse than Afghanistan or Iraq," Zaid told Fox News.

"At least in Afghanistan the Taliban will cut your hand off and people are afraid to commit such a crime," Zaid reportedly added…

"We have drugs issue, we have homeless issue, and on top of this these idiots come in here and take whatever they want," Zaid told Fox News.

The city has gone downhill, especially the last two years since COVID, I've never seen it worse," Zaid reportedly added. "People are afraid to come shopping here because they are either going to get robbed or someone will break into their car."

Dudes made off with about 500 cartons of cigarettes and the safe, which adds up to around $100,000.

So yeah, sounds like they're sort of in need of a Taliban-style enforcement of the law out there in San Francisco.

And that's just, well, scary, if you ask me.

We literally have Afghani immigrants telling us, straight to our faces here, that American cities are now worse than Afghanistan.

And if that doesn't get you out of big cities, I don't know what will.

I'll leave this right here for you peeps, and then I'm out:
