Officers detained five people Thursday in San Francisco after a man was robbed at gunpoint after showing up for a date he had set up online, police said.
The 30-year-old victim, whom police did not name, arrived to meet his date at 12:25 a.m. near College Avenue and Mission Street just north of Interstate 280. When he did, two assailants advanced on him with a gun.
The man’s would-be date joined the assailants in stealing his wallet, cell phone and money before all three took off in a black sedan.

Talk about being unlucky at love....
On line date at 12:25 AM? Sure thing.
Yeah, ah, let’s meet in a seedy part of town after midnight, because I love you so much...
It would have convinced me...
“Talk about being unlucky at love”....
But damn lucky to be alive!
The only uncertainty was about who was paying.
Nothing good happens after midnight.
Dollars to dough-nuts it was a sodomite.
What straight person meets a stranger for a “date” at 12:25? These people are clearly mentally ill.
He should try Craigslist
I don’t think that there was any uncertainty that he was going to be paying for the “date”.
You’re right. The disagreement was over what he would be paying for.
Probably was
was this a homo date?
That is a bad neighborhood and setting up a MIDNIGHT date with a STRANGER with easy access to a highway..?
Need you even WONDER for so much as a millisecond about the orientation of the victim?
Think of his loss as TUITION —you pay money and you get a little smarter.
Not the public bathroom at the park?
Funny you said that:
Once I was driving near Ocean Beach in SF, going to my boss’ house for a work party.
I was lost for a short time, and having a bathroom emergency.
WHO wants to show up at the boss’ house purple-faced and cross-legged?
It was a very bad neighborhood, and who wants to do in a PUBLIC restroom, right? But it was an emergency.
Driving along I saw on the beach a structure a little like a bunker you might see at Normandy —a concrete pill-box, and it was festooned with all sorts of menacing signs:
“NO LOITERING HERE, premises regularly patrolled by SFPD..!”
Maybe 10 different variations on that haranguing theme, all over the huge, scary signs. WHO in their right mind would pull ANYTHING, there?
But all the same, it was an emergency, and so I ventured into the dark of the doorway. Right away I saw that ALL of the stall doors had been removed from the hinges, and passing the first stalls I saw there had been weird HOLES shot or drilled into the side partitions.
And standing round the bend was a WEIRD, NAKED GUY, just standing there, silently and inexplicably.
PEERING at me.
SF has GREAT architecture and food, but living there more and more you see that there is also this WEIRD, DIRTY, SPOOKY aspect to it, also.
“Nothing good happens after midnight.”

You sound like my grandmother.:-)

Dude, you couldn’t find a tree?
“’Scuse me, weird naked guy, you want someone else. I’m boringly normal.”
