Bob Lee's death was a conspiracy theorist's wet dream. Far right agitators used his death to bash San Francisco leaders. |
San Francisco mayor London Breed condemned the killing of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The mayor, sheriff and district attorney also took aim at Fox, Republicans and Elon Musk for spreading misinformation about the murder and the safety of the city.
In the early morning of April 4, 2023, Lee was stabbed in the 300 block of Main Street in the Rincon Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. Police were called to the scene at 2:35 a.m. local time. CCTV footage shows a wounded Lee stumbling to a parked car with its hazard lights on and lifting his shirt to show his wound; the car immediately drove away, after which Lee collapsed on the ground. By the time police arrived on the scene, he was unconscious. He was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries at the age of 43.
The suspect was a former ally of Bob Lee. |
On April 13, the San Francisco Police Department arrested the killer for the murder of Lee. The killer had previously been working in the technology industry since 2005 and as the owner of his company, Expand IT, since April 2010. While working at the business, Momemi allegedly knew Lee. The killer also had a past criminal history for a DUI misdemeanor in 2004, and both allegedly selling a switchblade and driving with a suspended license in 2011.
Fox and many on the far right often attack San Francisco as an attempt to undermine Democrats, California, the LGBTQ community, Black mayors, House Speaker emeritus Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Paul Pelosi was attacked by an extremist in October. The far right and Musk spread vicious rumors about Pelosi. They claim it was a gay lover quarrel. They claimed the extremist was a leftist. They used it as a wedge to attack Nancy Pelosi.
The murder of Lee attracted major attention. The city took a major hit when it came to businesses closing. Walgreens, Target, CVS and Starbucks have closed locations in the city.
Inside Edition has stories about car break ins and bicycle theft.
Chaya Raichik has often targeted San Francisco and claims that the city is Groomer, USA.
Fox is all day culture wars when it comes to crime, gays, Black on whatever violence, progressive policies and Pelosi bashing.
Lee was stabbed by a man near The Bay Bridge. He died of his injuries. The story of Lee's death stroked tensions of possible Black on whatever violence. The incident drove Musk to tweet some reckless comments. Musk left San Francisco and went to Texas.
Musk talked reckless. And some Republican and far right agitators as well.
Very sorry to hear that. Many people I know have been severely assaulted.

Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.
Is the city taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders @BrookeJenkinsSF?
New York City. Portland. San Francisco.

All seeing businesses close down because of crime.
All run by Democrats.
After San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed that the 38-year-old killer knew Lee, Jenkins switched gears and knocked the Musk's tweets on the tragedy.
San Francisco leaders are getting tired of Republicans bashing their city. |
"While we're not going to release any additional facts at this time, I must point out that reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in Mr. Musk's tweet that assumed incorrect circumstances about Mr. Lee's death serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of San Francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime as it spreads misinformation at a time when the police are trying to solve a very difficult case," she said.
