San Francisco DA DROPS charges against vagrant who repeatedly bashed city's ex-fire commissioner in the head with a metal crowbar - and now 'plans to prosecute the victim for deploying pepper spray'

San Francisco's ex-fire commissioner has said the city is 'burning' after the District Attorney dropped charges against a vagrant who repeatedly bashed him in the head with a metal crowbar.

Don Carmignani, 53, was left fighting for his life after being brutally attacked on April 12, when he sprayed pepper spray at the homeless man outside his mother's home in the Marina District.

He suffered a fractured skull and jaw in the attack, and required 51 stitches after Garrett Doty, 24, allegedly beat him over the head with a crowbar.

Carmignani - who served as a fire commissioner in 2013 - claims his lawyers informed him that District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has decided not to prosecute Doty because he was acting in 'self-defense'.

According to the injured former fire chief, prosecutors say because he sprayed the homeless man with pepper spray, he instigated the vicious assault.

This is despite chilling footage showing Doty grabbing the crowbar out of the trash and taking practice swings moments before the attack.

Carmignani claims three people 'smoking crack cocaine' leaning up against his mother's door the morning of the attack.

Speaking to CBS News, Carmignani said: 'It's sad. My city is in chaos. They're driving out all the locals and everyone that pays taxes.

'Something needs to change, the city is burning, and now you have the national guard coming in.

'I was just informed by my attorneys prosecuting m for having pepper spray for defense bringing charges against me.

The California legislature could legalize the theft of tents with any city limit and of tarps on tents.

Proposition 47 was passed in California in 2014 and reclassified thefts under $950 as misdemeanors. The tents and tarp are highly likely valued less than this $950 threshold. This kind of the theft is not often prosecuted these days in San Francisco.

Not only that, but the bums and the politicians who support them would be hung from the nearest lamppost or tree and the bodies left there as a warning.

He was part of the problem for years and now that it bit him he is complaining?

Welcome to the corner of "Action Street" and "Consequences Lane"

Why would you want to get off jury duty?

It is the place where you can do the most to change things.

I look at people who try to dodge jury duty the same way I look at draft dodgers.

Nope.

In fact draft dodgers are a little less repugnant.

Some people have strong moral convictions about killing. Some people are frightened.

But when it comes to jury duty it is not dangerous, does not require you to kill and asks only a few days normally with a few months being the maximum.

People who avoid jury duty are scum who need to go find another country to disgrace with their presence.

I agree, I actually would respect anyone dodging the draft if we had one under Biden. But I absolutely worship anyone who avoids participating in our corrupt judicial system and avoids jury duty. Imagine having to listen to corrupt judges and lawyers, excruciating. Avoid at all costs.

Why do you think they become corrupt?

Because people hide under their bed and whine rather then standing up and doing their duty as a citizen to rein them in.

Which can best be done from the jury box.

People put up signs in their cars saying "there's nothing in this car!" - still, their windows were smashed out.

Those won't help much if the criminals can't read. :)
