San Fran victim turns tables on robber
Via Don Kates -- the San Francisco Chronicle reports that three robbers accosted a victim in the Tenderloin district, whereupon he shot and wounded them, and skedaddled. One of the robbers went to the police, whereupon they were all arrested.
A police inspector says ""It's rare to have a victim be armed and use the weapon successfully on all three perpetrators,'' Peterson said. "We would like to talk to that victim to hear the rest of the story.''"
Of course (1) the robbery victim doesn't want to talk to police -- since only a few high level politicians, such as Diane Feinstein, can get gun permits in SF, he'd be certain to be arrested after telling the "rest of the story." (2) the fact that the robber thought it was a good idea to go the police, presumably to protest at having been shot by his victim, tells you a lot.

David, your posting just about says it all. Why do the gun haters so distrust citizens? Is it because they are so above us, they know so much better than us?
I bet there is more than one individual on the Streets of San Francisco that is carrying. I know I do.

Ms. Crane, please remain seated with your hands in plain view and make no sudden movements. We have traced your IP address, and are on our way to arrest you.

That robber went to the police to complain about the interference with his lawful occupation of fox among the rabbits. He did not expect his accomplices and himself to be arrested because of the professional courtesy that should exist between thieves and the government. There could be a class action lawsuit here. . .

Lazyass cops of the Tenderloin should all be fired
there more corrupt them deal dealers
The non-responsiveness of the San Francisco Police Department to the needs of tenderlion residents. Not only do the police solve very few violent crime cases, 70 percent of robberies and assaults are not even investigated. And if the offense is a property crime, don’t even bother calling the cops.
