Sideshows Have Made It All the Way Out to the Sunset, and Residents Are Pissed
Briefly

Recently, San Francisco experienced an unusual sideshow in the quiet Outer Sunset neighborhood, which surprised local residents. Historically, these gatherings, known for dangerous car stunts like spinning and drifting, were confined mainly to the East Bay. The sideshow on Lawton Street startled neighbors who were asleep, with many unaware of this phenomenon. One resident, Abe Lee, expressed shock over the reckless behavior as participants risked their lives jumping in front of cars. The event lasted about 20 minutes before SFPD intervened, with officers reportedly busy elsewhere, raising questions about police priorities in handling such events.
Neighbor Abe Lee expressed astonishment at the dangerous sideshow, stating, 'I'm truly shocked no one got killed because they were literally jumping in front of the cars as the cars were doing their donuts.'
The SFPD often prioritizes other emergencies over sideshows, reflecting community concerns over policing as they sometimes only intervene after significant incidents.
