San Francisco Drops Case against Homeless Man Who Beat Former City Official with a Crowbar

San Francisco has a really messed up definition of "self defense." In the real world, the person acting in self defense was the one who used the pepper spray, not the one who used the crow bar. San Francisco has this completely backwards.

How dare that ex-commish try to damage that man’s crowbar with his head!...............

What’s next? Dropping charges against Paul Pelosi’s BF; David Depape?

There is nothing San Fran needs more than the Big One and a tsunami afterward.

To me, if the police won’t respond to the scene, you should be within your rights to place them under citizens arrest. People need to train how to cuff and restrain, and how to use less than deadly force with a gun as a backup.This is the Wild West again, and the town ain’t got a Sheriff. It is time to make a citizens posse and settle these criminals down. Put them on a train out of town, with broken teeth if necessary.

Just think the recalled the last DA for being to soft on crime and this is what took over.

I would say the city did not “mess up”, they are deliberately being soft on crime because in their warped mind it is the best way to deal with the issue.

[Kartographer]

Get out of SAN FRAN NOW! Abandon all hope those who enter!

The city of SF is dying.

Video appears to show Doty cornering Carmignani

Nothing says "self-defense" like the "victim" cornering the "attacker", after the "victim" warms up a bit with the weapon...

Anarcho-tyranny.

Punish the innocent. Reward the guilty.

Clearly the bum was merely petitioning the government for redress of grievances.

A citizen’s posse sound like a good idea for every town or city. Perhaps made up of former Marines.

Maybe a “Courtesy Patrol. I’m thinking “Office Linebacker” from YouTube.

If the tables were turned, the fire commissioner would in no wise get out.

[Freedom4US]

No, you’re wrong. They DO have a Sheriff.

And that’s EXACTLY how it was handled before Police departments came along.

It’s actually illegal to refuse a summons or whatever it’s called, when an escaped felon or whatever was on the run, the Sheriff would deputize however many citizens were needed.

It is certainly something that needs to be looked at as everything starts to fall apart due to malfeasance in other areas of local government, the Sheriff is an elected position, and is ordinarily one of the, if not THE most powerful official in the county.

He just wanted to sit in your mother’s driveway, consume a few drugs, insult a few of your mother’s neighbors and not bother nobody.

Anarcho-tyranny.

Druggies don’t have the right to self defense?
