Texas residency is connected to the Uvalde killing through a mysterious SF billboard 02:05
People are pondering who put up a billboard in San Francisco’s South of Market area that just made reference to the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, according to CBS Bay Area’s Reed Cowan.
The sign, which depicts a menacing-looking guy in a hoodie and sunglasses, reads: “In Uvalde, the Texas miracle perished. Move away from Texas.”
As the shooting was once again making global news, CBS Bay Area saw the billboard. Following harsh criticism of his department’s handling of the May massacre that claimed the lives of 19 students and two instructors, the Uvalde schools police chief was removed this week.
A Texas teacher named Sophia Roane just relocated to San Francisco, one of two California towns where the billboard is prominent. According to reports, another one was seen in Los Angeles.
She was photographing the sign to convey to her relatives in Texas, as seen by CBS Bay Area.
“It’s Texas, so I paused and snapped a photo. My home is Austin. Your message must be compelling. This is quite significant. These are young children who are in the first grade “explained Roane.
Jamal Abraham, who works at a store that sells lubricants and filters, spoke with CBS Bay Area from across the street. Abraham claims that his clients are enquiring.
“They want to know who did it and how long it has been up. And I’m also interested in learning, “Abraham exclaimed. That’s a rather big statement: “Don’t migrate to Texas.”
To find out who paid for the billboard and why, CBS Bay Area contacted the sign business whose name is attached to it. As of Thursday night, the corporation had not responded.
