Tranq is basically Xylazine. It's awful, awful stuff and in some cities right now you can't get illicit drugs without some level of contamination likely (like in Philadelphia). Overdoses happen often with it because noloxone has no effect on it. Locke is right, it causes weeping wounds that don't heal. The photos of Xylazine's effects on the skin are not pretty.

It's almost as if you're playing a dangerous game buying these drugs.

Oh no. They know what they're buying. Man that stuff is some grim, awful s###.

And Nyah is right, I forgot about that part, you OD on that crap and you are done. Noloxone is ineffective. It is over.

More smash and grabs in San Francisco. Gotta be frustrating as hell having that happen all the time and known encampment/fencing operations running in plain sight.

Trying to blow torch a car window was certainly a thing to see.

This guy's videos feel fake after a while. The number of broken car windows, stolen phones, GPS trackers and glitter bombs is staggering... The costs must be in tens of thousands. Plus all the time to make this stuff and monitor. All of the faces are blurred, so these videos cannot be used by police, I'm guessing. What makes it worthwhile to do for him? Just clicks and likes on YouTube? Is it that profitable?

Definitely profitable. He gets tens of millions of views, collaborates with other YouTubers, and gets sponsorships to offset the costs. He also promotes his company that is likely successful.

I'd guess he makes high six figures easy.

He is a top 30 creator on YouTube that alone puts him into the 7 figures yearly. Add in his crunchlabs (which our kids love) and these glitterbomb videos are a drop in the bucket for him

The faces wouldn't be blurred in the raw footage, which could be provided to the police. It's not like the police are going to open an investigation based on random YouTube videos.

Why would the police care? They know if they managed to catch and arrest these people they would just be released in less time it took for you to watch the entire video.

You might also like this guy. Though his channel doesn't have too much vengeance. Or San Francisco crime. His wife seems like a good sport about his work.

It's Oakland, but most residents in SF consider Oakland to be part of the area. Looks exactly like East Hastings in Vancouver from about Main to Abbot.

Pfft...Buncha whiners if you ask me!

Look at those people who own all those cars and RVs! I dont own an RV!

They have so much stuff that they throw some of it on the side of the highway! I dont have so much stuff that I'd discard some of it on the highway!

Material wealth!

All I can say is that I have been to many American cities over the last 5 years and I have only ever witnessed people #### or piss on the street/sidewalk on a regular basis, at least 3 separate people in 5 days, in San Francisco. I have lived in Calgary my whole life and have only ever witnessed this once here.

So yeah there are a bunch of people that over state issues but that's probably because they had a similar experience that I did. I had some great times at SF but I don't think the people are being overly dramatic.

You should watch the Mark Rober videos where they managed to get several scam call centers in India shut down. That's probably the most impactful thing he's ever done with those videos

Stop watching people pee and poo, that’s gross.

I’ve never seen anyone pee or poo on the street/sidewalk anywhere… well, pee, sure, but I’ve also peed on the street so who am I to judge?

I’ve been to SF 5 times and never seen a person #### on the street. You must be searching it out. Which is ok if you are into that kind of thing…
