Community groups in the Mission District on Wednesday demanded more protection from city officials in the wake of an assault on a 78-year-old woman.
That victim, teacher Yolanda Melera, stood with community leaders Wednesday as she described the attack.It happened as she was leaving the 16th Street Mission BART station earlier this month. She was walking to work from BART when someone robbed her of her purse and shoved her to the ground.
Community leaders like Roberto Hernandez have declared a state of emergency with a clear message for the San Francisco officials. "This can't go on like this. It's just getting worse. There has to be a positive change," Gonzalez said. "The situation in the Mission is terrible. It's sad," she said."I remember 21 years ago when I came to live here, and the Mission was so pretty. But now everything is ugly, sad, dirty."
