Democratic socialist Dean Preston, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, has announced that he will push legislation to prohibit security guards from drawing a weapon to defend property.
Preston said that people's lives are of greater importance than property.
"Today, I'm announcing legislation to limit use of guns by security guards. We must amend local law to prohibit guards from drawing weapons just to protect property. Human life is more important than property," Preston tweeted.
\u201cToday, I\u2019m announcing legislation to limit use of guns by security guards. We must amend local law to prohibit guards from drawing weapons just to protect property. Human life is more important than property.\u201d— Dean Preston (@Dean Preston) 1683661754
Preston's proposal drew criticism on social media.
"San Francisco is practically a criminal haven. They have one store after the next closing specifically because of the non-stop theft. And their political leadership is focused on trying to stop security guards instead of the people robbing those stores. Decline is a choice," someone tweeted in response to Preston's announcement.
"I agree human life is more important than property, but everyone has the right to defend their property and their life. So here's an idea… perhaps the criminals who steal other people's property should place a higher value on their own lives, and stop doing crime?" Christina Pushaw tweeted.
"Stop trying to pass more laws to protect criminals. That’s insane behavior. Pass laws protecting law abiding citizens," T.J. Moe tweeted.
According to his website, Preston wants "fundamental change" at all levels of government.
"As a Democratic Socialist, Dean advocates for fundamental change at the local, state, and national levels. He believes everyone deserves a dignified, productive, and healthy life through universal policies like Medicare for All, social housing, and free education," the website states.

'You loot, we shoot': Armed property owners in Oregon threaten would-be lawbreakers amid wildfires
Some residents in Clackamas County, Oregon, have taken to posting roadside signs warning potential lawbreakers that if they're caught looting or setting fires, they may find themselves facing the wrong end of a gun — and feeling the pain of a bullet.
KPTV-TV's lead news photographer Devin Eskew encountered a number of such warning signs as the state battles huge wildfires:

How are folks reacting to the signs?
While KPTV-TV reported on the posted warning signs and the Riverside Fire's devastation, the station didn't speak to locals who might have reactions to the messages on the signs in Estacada and Colton.
But folks reacting on Twitter to Eskew's photos of the signs had a few things to say. Some were flat-out against the signs:
- "I say, let their damned houses burn," one commenter said. "These guys won't be missed. #LetTheMAGAtsDie. (I used to be a much kinder person before Trump...)"
- "Those white trash losers don't even own anything worth looting," another commenter wrote.
It seemed, however, that quite a few more users were in support of the signs:
- "I support this completely," one commenter countered. "If these lawless criminals can bend the law and do what they want, so can everyone else."
- "Anybody who would loot peoples' homes during a wildfire emergency is a pretty terrible human," another commenter added. "As for them putting up signs warning those same trash humans away, guess they can't say they weren't warned."
- "ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT," another commenter said. "Anyone caught should be dealt with appropriately. We all know the Dems would just say, 'Poor non-gender [person] needs things, too. Be nice to it and talk to it; it will come around.' Do what needs to be done to protect your homes."
- "It is a sad world we live in that one has to choose to stay within danger to protect property from looters," another commenter noted. "There was a time when people helped each other, not [stole] from each other. Our society has bred people who think they are entitled to help themselves to whatever they want."
Anything else?
Clackamas County deputies confirmed Saturday they have made two theft-related arrests in the fire zones, the station said, adding that one was in Mulino and another in the eastern portion of the county.
