San Francisco kids were caught on video walking home from school as they passed what appeared to be one of the city’s open drug dens.
Ricci Wynne posted the video on Twitter last week, writing that the students were getting off the 14 transit line at 8th and Mission streets when they came upon what appeared to be a homeless encampment sprawled out on the sidewalk.
“This is not a rear ally [sic]” Wynne wrote. “This is a major artery in our city that has been hijacked [sic] drug dealers and now it’s pure dirt!”
The video shows a stream of children and other passengers getting off the public transport system before the camera pans to the pavement where a group of apparently homeless people have gathered.

Wynn added: “Now ask yourself this question, would you want your children to go through this misery just to get home from school?”
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
Wynn tagged a slew of politicians in the post, including President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
Describing himself as a recovering drug addict, Winn often posts videos showing drug addicts and drug addicts on the streets of the city.

The area where Wynne says the video was shot is near the Linkage Center in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, a neighborhood known for its rampant drug abuse.

The drop-in center was meant to connect homeless people and drug addicts with social services, but multiple accounts claimed people were shooting up or smoking fentanyl inside instead.
San Francisco recorded 650 overdose deaths last year and at least 700 in 2020. Recovery advocates said every one of those deaths was preventable.
