A mumbling, confused, skinny-shrinked SFPD Chief Gascon attempts to remind us that y'all should stay “in your own neighborhood” this Halloween. I'm not really sure what Old Man is trying to say over the soundtrack, but I think it has something to do with the Castro being spooky and you should stay home and watch reruns of your favorite CBS situational comedy.
If you recall, the Castro was formerly home to an 'epic' 60-year-old Halloween street party until KKKatie some lunatic shot 9 people in 2006. After that, Supe Bevan Dufty and Gavin Newsom got all ornery and deployed 600 cops armed with fire hoses and overtime pay to keep the crowds away, leaving would be partiers to fend for themselves on Valencia and Dolores Park
I'm sure local bars are thrilled with this.

Fuck you, Bevan, the Castro IS my home.
(Also, why the FUCK didn’t I say that to him when I saw him coming out of the Church Station the other day?!)
no fun in the castro.
Watch out what you lobby for.
Imagine gunfire in the middle of Dolores Park on a Saturday summer afternoon and you will get a slice of what Halloween (and as we sadly predicted, even Pink Saturday) in the Castro became.
A wave of super-nasty people will ruin any good party.
Don’t ask for whom the douche bags troll. They troll to ruin your good times. Gascon et al are just trying (ineptly) to react.
If it were up to me, I would invite the NOPD in to handle us like they handle Mardi Gras. But as it stands in SF, its more likely to be “Mucho Grass.”
Very few police officers are pigs.
And this pig needs to go.
Back to LA. Back to Arizona. It doesn’t matter where. Just take his tired, money grubbing, spotlight hugging, terrorist arm waving ass the fuck out of San Francisco.
Give us a break and give us a real cop.
