On April 30, Folcertwi Avenue in San Francisco's diocese district was not as bustling with people as it used to be. Occasionally, passers-by will frown and rush by. In particular, some parents with babies and underage students are eager to blind their children's eyes, as if they are hiding from some dirty things.
Folsetwig Street, which belongs to the San Francisco Mission District, is now known as San Francisco's "Lover's Street" along with Karp Street, Shortwell Street, South Van Ness Street and other neighborhoods.
And now the local residents, who usually have nothing to do, do not walk in the neighborhood. Because the people who wander here are now either sex workers or sex trade consumers.
Even in broad daylight, sex workers here can roam the streets in a very cool way.
Looking at it from afar, you can see that these women are engaged in illegal transactions.
Once they find a man on the street, they almost always think that they are potential customers and will take the initiative to come forward to hook up.
Even if it is a passing car, once it stops because of a red light, some sex workers who don't make enough money will only come forward to talk to them.
Sex workers in San Francisco will pay a "protection fee" to the gangsters who are online sex work intermediaries every month, which is actually the "Valentine's Street" admission fee. In other words, there is a cost for one day to do it, and sex workers will lose money if they don't earn enough "daily protection money".
There is also a sharing system, because sex workers often go out on the street in a cool manner and have nowhere to hide their money, so doing it for a day is even a day's account.
Once sex workers and sex consumers have reached a deal, they are different from their counterparts on Roosevelt Avenue in New York, and they do not have a "beauty salon" to hide their shame as a place to trade.
However, the location of their trade has a distinctly West Coast character - San Francisco's sex workers often don't live in San Francisco, but come from other small towns nearby, so they often drive here.
And the vehicle is the "trading place" for the sex workers on Folser's street.
Such a rudimentary and leaky "trading place", combined with the "dedication" of sex workers in San Francisco, leads to sexual noise, and sexual garbage, and even drug garbage,—— sex workers are often addicts, which is also a means for the gang to control them.
The proliferation of the sex trade has become a lingering "nightmare" for local residents
Just recently, on April 3, there was a "viral video" related to sex work in San Francisco, which went viral on social media platforms across the United States - not a disgusting, blatant street sex video, but a sex worker, in broad daylight, actually punched and kicked a homeless woman.
Emaciated homeless women, powerless to resist in the face of sturdy sex workers, can only be beaten sadly.
Or that the homeless don't dare to fight back because the sex workers have gang backing.
In the United States, the gangs that control sex workers are far more powerful than the gangs of theft, robbers and drug dealers, not only because "sexual exploitation" and "trafficking in women" are still felonies in the United States, and once the charges are confirmed, they will be "put in prison".
is also because the income of the "sex trafficking gang" is much higher than that of other gangs - a sex worker who is active on the streets of San Francisco can earn up to $1,000 a day, and at least thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a month can bring thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars to the "online gang".
For example, Figueroa Avenue in Los Angeles, California's other erotic capital, is home to hundreds of sex workers who earn hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars a month for the two gangs that control the neighborhood on the street.
There are not many homeless people in the United States, the overall size is about 500,000, most of them live in Los Angeles and New York, but they do belong to the real bottom of the United States.
Although most Americans will not fall to this point even if they go bankrupt, everyone is afraid of "one day", so it caused dissatisfaction and condemnation of public opinion, and finally formed the "viral spread" of the video.
"The man (sex worker) sat on top of this (homeless) woman and beat her very hard!"
"He even hit her very the head and chest, and screamed frantically!" said an anonymous local resident to the media.
"It's a long-standing problem that municipal bureaucrats have allowed to exist, and they seem to have accepted the wave of sex trafficking, and we're suffering. ”
The residents of Forsertwilight are faced with the troubles of life caused by the sex trade in broad daylight. They also had to deal with the security problems brought about by them, and they were miserable, but they couldn't wait for the matter to be resolved.
Because, now the wave of sex trafficking is sweeping the west coast of the United States - the whole of California.
All of this is due to the fact that California Democrats passed the Safer for All Act in 2022 and will take effect in early 2023.
The bill stipulates that in order to ensure that "transgender people" are not subjected to "discriminatory harassment" by the police (suspect searches), "loitering in public places with indecent clothing is permitted."
The consequence of this is that California's erotic industry is booming, due to the sudden release of long-pent-up demand, coupled with the fact that sex trafficking is illegal after all, so after more than a year of fermentation, finally in today's California, a comprehensive wave of sex trafficking has been formed.
The supply is in short supply, so much so that the black hand of the pimp even reaches out to the 13-year-old underage girl.
"A 13-year-old girl is being openly trafficked on the streets of San Diego County. In fact, women of all ages are openly trafficked for the purpose of sex trafficking. ”
"This means that they are forced to walk the streets, while the pimps keep a close watch on their every move. The reason for all of this is that the California Legislature and the government passed Bill 357, which allows for the proliferation of sex trafficking. Stephen, the district attorney in San Diego County, California, wrote in the San Diego Union Tribune in a deafening voice.
In fact, although California Democrats are under the banner of "protecting transgender people", there are actually only a very small number of "transvestites" who are intercepted and interrogated by the police because of "strange costumes", and even "medicine girls" will not be temporarily interrogated by the police on the road because of "strange beards and bewitching stepmother skirts".
Therefore, California Democrats will not allow the legalization of "wandering sex trafficking" for the sake of the "cross-dresser" (drag queen) of 18,000 votes. Their real purpose is actually to curry favor with the part of the American low-level "crime vote base" that relies on "illegal life" - mainly Latinos and African-Americans.
In essence, it is the same as indulging in zero-dollar purchases and "arrest and release for minor crimes", all of which are aimed at increasing the turnout of Democrats in these two communities.
