For those who may not have gotten the whole story, here goes: Initial friction A year and a half ago I shared a video link. To be honest, I didn’t agree with some of the presented content of said video, but I shared it because one of the people being interviewed was an ex-addict who was critiquing San Francisco’s response to their drug epidemic.
