A new tag on Samy’s Liquors at 24th and Bryant makes some pretty clear threats to a couple broad swaths of people. It instructs to kill hipsters and yuppies, two hard to define groups that were often derided among taggers in the last decade, but makes no mention of techies, the neighborhood slur du jour.
This is my fair warning to the hipsters + the yuppies!!
Get the [fuck?] Up Out the MISSION!! Before this [shit?] starts getting UGLY!!
you got 6 Months, Keep it Kickin!! If you don’t, it won’t be funny!
I Guarantee my Soldiers will GLADLY Come Out GUNNIN!!

I AM HENRY MANCINI OF GUNN
Immediately after this happpened, scores of social justice types and “community organizers” rallied at this spot to protest against this type of intimidation. Nah, just kidding. That will never happen.
How long do i have to live here to be disqualified from this? Or is it purely based on how you dress?
Parsing white subcultures is not what these Mission activists have in mind.
He better have lots of bullets
Eh, I’m skeptical of that claim.
So basically, kill everybody in the Mish? Gotcha.
Only people that call it the mish
+1
And of course it’s people who call it “the mish” who are dumb enough to believe that the entire neighborhood is populated by yuppies and hipsters. So who did the graffiti then? A self-hating yuppie?
eh, I was into bullets before they were cool.
uh, wait..what?
That’s funny.
Kind of like those Japanese soldiers found hiding out in the jungle after V-J day, still convinced the war was on.
The mission still has hipsters?
Are you kidding? The Mission is neck-deep in hipsters.
What is a hipster?
If you have to ask, you probably are one.
probably the last one
if you post on this blog you’re probably one.
If a poor food service punk is a hipster and a six figure tech worker is also a hipster, the word is meaningless.
95% of this blog’s readers can’t seem to differentiate between the two.
the common thread between the two is how much they wish they weren’t exactly the same. the tech worker and the service punk came from the same middle-class suburbs and have spent their adult lives trying to prove how different they are from one another . . .
dude and m, always my point! umm, you’re making stuff up — I don’t believe you’ve ever been either of them — and there’s acres of room between the two that nobody talks about.
You are incorrect. Hipsters can be poor, hipsters can be rich, hipsters can be unemployed, hipsters can make 6 figures. It’s a fashion/style affectation, it’s not a fucking social class.
Paint stained pants optional
Just wait ’til Judge Dredd hears about this.
Now you’re even cooler if you live or hangout in the mission. Ironic.
Kids these days….
….just having fun
Glad to see our school system is working so well.
Ass. clown.
Who you guys laughin’ at? This dope is the soul brother of whoever writes half the comments on this blog.
So the Irish are finally going to take back the mission, got it.

You mean the Coast Miwoks
Nobody ever has the guts to take this pre-big bang.
You mean the Spanish.
Yes, The raping, murdering, enslaving thieves.
Them’s the ones.
This message would have packed a lot more oomph if he’d provided a hashtag.
yuppie+techie=yuchie
pronounced yucky
The saddest/stupidist part is that no perceived Yuppie not Hipster would ever have the insight our self-awareness to self-identify in that way.
Graffiti threat? Lame.
Last time I checked this was a free country and I could live wherever I damn please.
This is the sad truth….
Wish you would do it somewhere else though.
Adopt a Latin name and grow a beard. Problem solved.
