Some years ago we had an incident here in San Francisco where a fellow was riding his bicycle down Laguna St one evening. Three ‘yutes’ from a city down the peninsula tried to hijack him and knocked him down and off his bike. He came up blasting and ventilated 2 of them. Unfortunately it was only a .25cal and all 3 managed to get into their car and take off
As luck would have it though one of the ventilatees was driving and checked out wrecking the car. The cops arrived in due course to take reports and photos. The bicyclist had long took off on foot. The local PD tried for several weeks to have him come forward so they could just “talk” to him. He never did.
The up side was the 2 surviving “yutes” were sent to prison because of the fatality that occurred during the commission of a crime that they initiated. Ironically witnesses did say a 3rd party stole the bike before the cops arrived. The bicyclist apparently had no illusions about the DA’s office in San Francisco.
Gosh I love a story with a good ending....
Obviously, the good people of San Francisco need to have a law requiring bicycle registration. Then the police could get the real criminals off the street.
