San Francisco Streets (Part 4/6) - Jack the Bipper

This is the second comment I’ve seen you advocating for killing burglars and it’s honestly psychotic. What’s even crazier is you seem to think that if everyone was allowed to have legal firearms, crime would cease to exist 😂

Connor

Yeah because some simple objects that can be replaced are worth a life that can't be replaced. I'm not advocating burglary, but taking a life for some electronics is... Borderline psychotic.

What's that smell

Jack the bipper lololol

Virginia Hanna

No, not at all, it's a mistake to think they're committing crime to stay afloat. As I've said elsewhere in these comments, they want to shine, not eat. Yes, I absolutely have a problem with that as a taxpaying member of a society I don't have a viable alternative to suggest in its place. Humans show ourselves time and again to believe what we want, and you can rest assured you can find others who believe similarly, regardless of objective truth. The Age of MIS-information, indeed.

Miccalo

Eat the chicken !

Nav Bhatia

Nah, no prisons period is prison abolition. I'm all for it as long as people can carry guns legally everywhere and deadly force can be applied to any level of violent crime.

Duck Dynasty mfer

Prop 47 should of came with more relaxed gun laws so anyone with a clean record can carry one and burglary is allowed to be met with deadly force.

Duck Dynasty mfer

I thought it was beautiful

Cardo Sommerhage

Yeah, but Japan and Korea are EXTREMELY socially conservative and do not tolerate any deviance from the norm.

Darya Zhdanova

lmao @ criminals shouting out california govt officials

skoomroom

that's how addicts tend to talk. talk in circles and say "know what I mean" a lot

homebrew901

Jesus the guy at 11:11 is one of the most incoherent people I've ever seen channel 5 interview. Eventually he got to his point and I understood what he was going for, but christ that was like pulling teeth 😂

Ned Gould

14:23 The monologue while hes breaking into an underground car park is incredible. And he throws that fucking buddha through the rear view to sign off. PERFECT!

george wesley

Brooooooo I'm dying hahaha

george wesley

Jack is so wild, he looks kinda like a Swaggy Criminal Kenny

george wesley

@3:00 " you gotta get it how you live it. My only grievance is if you bip me"- this guy is SO close to understanding the problem, that bipping cars and stores is NOT the solution. . Just put yourself in other peoples shoes. Maybe study about the Buddhist idea of karma. What you put into your world comes back to you.

Dan Lord

"Jack is not allowed to carry a spark plug, or go to Auto Zone. If he walks into Auto Zone, hell be arrested" lol. I hope he never gets a flat tire on what ever hes driving.

Dan Lord

Totally agree with you (Richard) on everything except…Andrew can have his own opinions. I don’t agree with everything he personally believes. But, it does spark conversation in the comments and I think that’s the important part. Prison abolition sounds like a bad idea, or perhaps a misguided idea, and I’m personally not a fan of Angela Davis. Us, his viewers, need to avoid believing him like an idol and keep a critical ear open. That’s my two cents anyways.

Jori Vajretti

Is prison abolition the same as prison reform?

Jori Vajretti

Ironic, your entire post is the exact kind of wishful thinking my original post spoke to. Continue to pretend I'm everything you're against to make it easier to reject my opinions. Reject and deflect, everyone else is wrong, huh?

Miccalo

Oh damn, I was at that exact parking garage just recently. Lol.

Chris Embry

Pshhh who cares how it's said foo!? Take care of yourself haha.

Young D3niro

LOL the Rammstein clip Love it

Eric McCann

I like the restraint on music, adds a little more seriousness to a root problem. But i could see it being good too on youtube. Love your stuff, glad your back :)

He's one of those dudes you meet on the street who talk themselves up to be more than they are

you call it frisco we happy you gone

Only Channel 5 can get this kind of news coverage. No MSM could/would dare to be so brave as to get the real story of what's happening on the streets of SF. Keep up the good work.

Andy Gott

The dude’s outfit alone costs about $500 and he’s crying about how he needs to steal to feed himself 🙄

Calvin Mlynarczyk

They've voted for it. They're reaping what they've been sowing since the 1960s

homebrew901

Look we all know if we funded education and other institutions that provide lower income people equal opportunities, it would decrease the prison population. There would still be the systematic racism that makes blacks the majority of prisoners. THATS the root issue to solve

bat kyak

when is the next video?

Gavino Iraheta

Just joined the patreon after seeing this youtube video; proud to see you making such inspirational videos Andrew. Thank you for everything you do!

Ethan Lopes

I agree, especially since it's Andrew's home base.

Joby Treegoob

When you say it's the minority, how many is it though? What system that's humane and viable can keep them away from the general public? Would it be more of a deterrent?

Joby Treegoob

Damn! That is exactly how Frisco is right now. You've really captured the streets out there. I miss that area, but simultaneously am happy to be outta there haha.Thanks for showing it for what it is and educating why. Ima be a lifetime member brody! 🤘

Young D3niro

Because they don't want to move to somewhere actually affordable, and get a real job. Big cities are becoming too expensive to live in.

Thomas Harrison

theres a reason theyre doing it

Vincent G.

This is such an intimate report... Mark my words Andrew, you will receive a Pulitzer in the near future. I'm sure about it, no one is coming nowhere near as close to the heart of the brokenness of today's society

Vasco Varelas

Yeah cause it's societies fault, not the results of ones own actions. Dudes would rather gangbang 24/7 and ruin everything for citizens who do no wrong than work for 8 hours.

Smartfork

reminder that drug dealers belong in cells.

Smartfork

> "The idea is to remove all of the reasons someone would commit crimes thereby creating a community where crime isn't common" Then advocate for those things. Saying "I'm a prison abolitionist" when this is what you mean doesn't further the goal at all.

popcorncolonel

Countries like Japan and Korea live in very capitalistic societies and do not see crime like this. What makes you think restructuring capitalism is the solution?

popcorncolonel

Please read a book about capitalism

Cory

Ur now an accessory to car burglary😂😂😂

RuBrazy

Why Andrew look like a 90’s detective

Alvaro

oh my god?

Snerple Tiger

these are effects of capitalism. do you want insane police force that catches everyone doing everything? I don't. we gotta completely restructure society if we want any true improvements.

RT

The original upload said "final installment", it has since been edited to "first"

Nels

Stealing is an effect of a poorly designed society. The people who work in the buildings also steal from humans. they do it on a grander scale that is even more insidious. try to look at the bigger picture. what do you think these corporations are doing to pay their workers so much? solving world problems? no, they're exploiting people. Your acting like all the techies are good people. they're not. the tech industry is a billion times more exploitative, destructive, and harmful to people than bipping. on top of that, they ruined the culture of the Bay Area. so no one likes them besides themselves. i mean, yuppies suck. if you don't think they do. your probably one of them.

RT

This has been the best series of documentaries that I've seen in such a long time! I bought the yearly subscription the same day it dropped!!!

BurritoMan

If it says ?/6 there will be 6 parts he’s probably just waiting to release them like every other day

Shane Black

Seems to me miccalo you have a problem with everybody who’s committing crime to stay afloat I could only imagine a place where 110k a year is below poverty line like that in itself is wild how bad inflation is over there

Shane Black

I hope someone runs him over fatally one day.

LC Knight

They're destroying it because they want it all to themselves

Adrian Jay

And bippin. It's also an instrument

Adrian Jay

this series has been extremely challenging to watch. i can understand the need to reduce and defund the prison-industrial complex, but Jack the Bipper and others like him should not be allowed to get away with everything he does.

Liam Kelly

"I play 5 instruments, guitar, bass, drums and piano." The math ain't mathin bro

Mike Guay

It's a mistake to consider any of that survivalist behavior. They're emptying luxury stores stealing designer brands because they want to shine, not eat. They're demolishing others property who live within the system, causing further strain within it. If they were stealing bread, eggs, and water from the grocery maybe, but that'd be entirely different. You can look anywhere for negativity to pretend your own exceptions to the rule are appropriate. It's wishful thinking, a natural human bias.

Miccalo

Abolishing the US prison system doesn’t mean abandoning all correctional/rehabilitative frameworks. Obv there are people that are dangerous and need to be kept away from the general public. But violent criminals are a minority portion of the current US prison pop. Angela Davis explains best if you wanna hit the library

Channel 5

Very educational video Andrew! I have a question... If you believe in prison abolition, what do we do with people who do crimes? I.e. murder, SA, felony crimes

bat kyak

These kids absolutely see the fault in themselves, but what else are you gonna do to survive in that environment?

Cole

Sick video! I'm glad I finally became a patron

Mathilda Tingemar

imo it was the usual squinty rationalization folks of all colors use to justify their own exceptions to rules.

Miccalo

So many overgrown kids desperate to see fault in everyone but themselves.

Miccalo

I see the resemblance lol but don’t disrespect Kenny like that😭😭

E P

Damn homie has that nice speech then cut to him bobbin lol

Zachary Smith

You’re a fucking idiot

Destin Yildirim

Where the rest of this shit?

Nav Bhatia

Keep doing this . I started on a random day on explore on IG back when u was doin Nola . Followed since and will continue best wishes and great work

Cesar mortera

Wait where part 5/6

Cesar mortera

Really enjoying the new content. Is there any way to make these releases more uniform (i.e. part 1 having a rough schedule of what's to come and where the public/paid content starts and ends) Obviously, this is hard at the rate that you guys are filming/releasing stuff so it's understandable if this comes with time. Looking forward to what's next. (FYI, the mix on the music is mad loud during some of the more informational parts is mad loud sometimes) (Also, would love some coverage of Philadelphia. I think the city has a lot going on that could be humanized in a similar way that you did with San Fran and also some other internal struggles like the 76ers arena project that could be covered and brought to a wider audience. Just a super misunderstood city in general.)

Brian

The government seems determined to destroy California. Almost seems intentional. Really disturbing. Fuck all these worthless losers destroying what was once a great place.

Top notch stuff! Really love all the hard work you guys put into these type of topics. It feel authentic and truly shows a unique side of humanity.

beautiful work my dude

Internet Famous

I don't think of prison abolition as a goal but more of an ideal. If you wanted to live in a society where there were no prisons you would need more social safety nets, better public education, stronger communities, and affordable housing options. The idea is to remove all of the reasons someone would commit crimes thereby creating a community where crime isn't common. Obviously, some crimes will always occur because some people are just broken human beings. But our current society actively encourages it. That said, introducing Prop 47 without any of the social programs necessary for reducing crime was a really dumb idea on California's part. Prison abolition doesn't work in a vacuum and prison abolitionists are not delusional. We want safe communities but instead of locking up all of the criminals we aspire towards a society that generates significantly fewer wrong-doers in the first place.

JosH

Is this the final or will there be 4 and 6?

Nels

great way to showcase the real issue of SF - which is - instead of addressing income inequality, gentrification, and overprice housing, the City Country decide to try resolve this issue by making drugs and crime less prosecutable. It is almost like telling poor people to be like ... hey look i know the tech bro ruined your neighborhood, so here is a sparkplug and jade shards, now go bibs some cars at the parking lot in Embarcadero

Urdnot Wrex

prison doesn't work pretty much anywhere, except rich Nordic countries and shit, but what they got is hard to even call a prison compared to what you usually imagine

Mykhailo Poliukhovych

To everyone who doesn't understand why prison abolition. It would cost less money (for taxpayers) to house and put a person through college, than it would to send them to prison. Or we can keep sending them to prison, compounding the criminality, continue the wealth divide... it's not a D or R thing.

What's that smell

Best part is the first day Jack said he started doing it to look fly, next day nearly in tears about how they do it to survive lmao

Myles Crosby

Where 5 and 6

Mary Marley

ty Andrew and crew, loved the YT edit too 🖐️

David Kaff

Real news right here. Appreciate it.

Sam Becker

America seems to be just really bad a copying solutions from Europe by just half-assing everything. It's like they read only the hadline and then be like "cool let's do that". Drug decriminalization works if done right, and the theft decriminalization in Italy is only for food if you're desperately trying to survive. You can't shoplift an Armani store in Italy.

Junpei Leetmaster

What makes Channel5 so special is your commitment to showing, not telling. As always, thank you for "not asking the right questions"

DW

Looks great! My only note is regarding the comment on you supporting prison abolition. Are you also planning to interview someone on prison reform?

DW

why are you in favor of prison abolition? how would you deal with dangerous people who did some very bad shit and could potentially continue to harm people, the environment, animal lives and so forth? When you talk about prison abolition, do you take into consideration other correctional models around the world, or is it a reduced view based solely on what you experienced on the US? I ask this because, to express my honest opinion, to me it sounds like a really bad idea

MySelf69

This media goes so far to humanize my own perspective of the situation. A core of Buddhism is seeking "buddha nature" in everyone. Thank you for including the conclusions. If you let people finish talking, the rationale etc... its always there. so, why do we allow this Malthusian social experiment to continue? we have to work together to reduce the scarcity... at least for food, shelter, healthcare... But yeah, don't tour disaster areas... I'm very grateful to the interviewees. its a mess all around them, no doubt.

That’s a wet jacket tho

If even the US Dept of Health and Human Services recognizes there are social determinants of health, I am confident that they exist https://health.gov/healthypeople/priority-areas/social-determinants-health/literature-summaries/incarceration If you want to read it, I recommend ctrl F for the recidivism portion

Mallory

don't know how you get so up close and personal with all the right people to really show whats going on, you got a discerning eye for that shit i guess, beautiful humanizing coverage as always,

aidy_bear

Lotta losers playing the victim card in this one. We can’t afford it here so we have to steal lmao move broke mfer

Who knows, maybe even less than 1%. I agree, it’s a punishment based system when it should be focused on rehabilitation for sure. My uncle and aunt were locked up on and off for drug related offenses for most of my life. It was pretty soul crushing to watch the cycle. The system did not give them tools to function in real life or help them recover.

Moriah

Happy Thanksgiving Andrew and crew. Thankful for all you do and that you got back on your feet to give us this fire journalism. Cheers yo!

reallifetony

What a cliffhanger!

dude of fuck

Im loving the background music!

David Wojcicki

Severe rationalizations. Their future selves is going to be plagued with guilt and shame. Not judging because they are like me ten years ago. Its just retarded to see. I was pleased to hear Jack the Bipper say the core of it is drugs. Thats a start. I just hope he finds some recovery before its too late. Stay up.

Mark F

Vegas underground next?

Nick Kachur

Lowkey think Honduras runs the city now 😂

Nick Kachur

I love the endings to this series lol truly fantastic

Hermington

Lol had to go back and look.

brittany m

I think it's about 1% of the prison population that most likely can not be reintegrated into society and completely abolishing prison does not seem like a good idea. It seems to me that the US justice system mainly focuses on punishment, it's unbelievable that there are still tens of thousands locked up for something like marijuana possession. I wonder how many start their criminal careers in prison being in there for years with nothing else to do?

my dad got locked up for 25 years for this

Solomon Wiseman

I think it’s more of a question of speed , if you throw a rock it shatters in a way that leaves sharp pieces , when you use porcelain everything shatters in little pieces that you can push or just fold if it’s a tinted window. 90 dollars ain’t shit over there.

Sergio Diaz

I was thinking the same. Or you can use pliers or a nail in a block of wood.

Nico

Do these idiots not know about rocks? $90fuckingUSD for something to throw at a window or a sharp piece of metal to break it with? Shit I'll send these guys "Bip kits" I found in my back yard for $45CAD and ship them on me

El Jefe

Keep up the good work! I am a huge Fan, especially of the background music.

Can’t wait for the next one, so good thanks Andrew. Was this filmed during the week of dead and co ?

Nathan Kravitz

Uhhh okay? Good for you for passing negative judgement on others for the way they look I guess?

Monkeh Gaming

Dude preach, these criminals suck

Heady topper

Real life Kenny McCormick lol

Jay

I was thinking about how that guy from a previous video says that they need $5,000 a month to live in SF. That’s outrageous, if you have to pay that much for rent and the minimum wage hasn’t gone up, move. Come live in the Midwest, comfortably, making $2,000 a month.

Max McPartland

🙌🏻. Although this guy is addicted to drugs, there should be more support for him. He's doing crazy mental gymnastics to justify his behavior.

Max McPartland

I have yet to see a more baby-man looking mofo than the newscaster at 4:07 in this video!

Richard Springfield

Keep doing what you are doing. I'll always put my wallet out to support people having real conversations instead of judging from an ivory tower.

Ariel

rawdog Andrew out here facilitating empathy and understanding for the depths of the human condition... truly a noble purpose. Keep it up dood

Josh Baran

This is a patently absurd claim that is an ideological rot in our society. Many people much much "poorer" than people wearing designer clothes in SF have come from much worse circumstances with an entirely different attitude, like the family of immigrants I'm from. America was built by people that came with nothing fleeing wars and famine, this in comparison to the unimaginably abundant life in 2023 SF. The thieves' attitude is fucking pathetic. If you want money, build something that people want to pay for like every other worker and entrepreneur and decent human. No one has a "right" to live in one of the world's most expensive cities or the "right" to own a bunch of ridiculously expensive designer gear. I'd recommend anyone interested in reality to go on a youtube bender of Thomas Sowell interviews, a black man that actually cares about his community. Right this moment there are many places in the U.S. with cheap housing and jobs - but then they'd have to actually work for what they want. This behavior has absolutely nothing to do with poverty. And Andrew has a very naive view of prisons and people in general. Perhaps if he was the victim of a violent crime himself he would come to understand why people get locked up, regardless of whether they are ever "rehabilitated" or not. This naive view of human nature believes that everyone is identical, a mere "victim" of social forces. This view can only exist when someone has very very little life experience and, simultaneously, refuses to look at one piece of psychological research that shows the contrary. Every person is built different and psychopaths are real. There is this deranged view pervading our society that everyone is just a pawn in a sea of social forces, utterly incapable of taking any responsibility for their actions, as if there was no difference between someone that chooses to be a criminal and the next great musician or whatever. I really liked Andrew's work for a long time because he just shows people how they are but he's gonna lose subscribers if he starts putting his misguided thinking on top of it all like he did on this one.

Richard James

This level of access is a bargain for the $$$ incredible content mate

Daniel

How you gonna stop the video there daddy :(

Wyatt Miller

The prison system has definitely failed and become a profiteering industry but I do think there are people I would not want reintegrated into society. I would be interested/open to hearing more about alternatives but straight up abolishing has some sticker shock.

Moriah

POST THE PIMP SHIT GANG

Nonetheless, I love my city.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, Andrew 🙏 Stay safe out there

Christopher Guerra

I love the access, love what you guys do and that you’re passing no judgment. If there’s any follow up/clarifying questions you asked during the interview when dude is wearing the orange jumper I’d add it in before it goes live on yt. He’s a brilliant subject but it’s tough as an audience reading between all his “fuckin you know bro” ‘s when he’s talking about the cops in jail. Seems like his point is that the cops are coming down extra hard in jail since they’re trying to flex power that they don’t have on the streets - which is interesting, was just tough for me to follow and I would’ve loved to hear more detail from him if you have it.

Jeremiah Overman

ay this was incredibly enlightening. his last monologue really related this whole issue to a lack of resources for the poor and their inability to access dignified employment.

jibril kyser

Does it have content that hasn't been on here, or is it just a compilation of these videos here?
