"It Definitely Went Down": Notes on recent Anti-Police Actions in the Bay
- Thread starter ColdBlooded
- Start date
It's pretty funny that the "It Definitely Went Down" march was out at Dolores Park and in the Castro and no where near Hunter's Point. Dolores Park is the "hippest" park in all of San Francisco. It's full of tight pants wearing handle bar mustache sporting Pabst drinking transients who come to San Francisco to wear flannels and ride their bikes around in nice weather. It's also not in the author's dramatic account of what happened, but the "mob" also trekked through parts of the Castro, San Francisco's gay neighborhoods. A super-majority of the people involved in this protest came into the city from other cities by way of public transportation, and their presence was merely a blip on the radar like almost every other protest taking place in San Francisco and not a major game changing revolutionary moment. Don't believe the writers statement that "the people" stood up and not the anarchists, liberal groups, and out of towners came in to stir up trouble.
It's important to recognize the difference between freedom of speech and reckless nihilism. The people taking the lead in this protest had no connection to the community where the catalyst of the movement even took place. It's one thing to be a part of a community and fight for a cause and another to come from no community and be of no cause.
(By the way, I saw some of the "March" on Market. The number of protestors was closer to 50, mostly white. While I didn't pay to much attention to them because seeing stuff like this in SF is an everyday thing, the worst thing I saw was a bottle thrown, no where near police. Several people were shouting obsenities and taunting the marchers, including homeless people and dudes in business suites... the marchers chanted something about coming out from the bars and being on the streets, and even the hipsters smirked at their ballgame chant. At one point I heard they delayed a BART train and MUNI for a short while, good job.)

Im not sayin its a issue but there is alot of lame ass fuck white people who "embrace" diversity by goin hamm on marches and issues like this and I say that cuz I hope this was predominatley minority so to speak rally, as the gentrification continues there will be more bottled rage that is let out over issues like this, I really havent done enough HW on the BART murder but for this one I feel no sympathy for the man and feel in confidence that this man fired his gun at the poe or in general and the po fired back 5 times, there has always been a severe tension between the SFPD and the black community since the PH shooting of the politican some 30-40 years ago its a fucked up cycle, this will piss people off but fuck it im drunk i usa hear stories at the bar about back in the day irish cops havin knockout nig nog contets in the filmore around the palace, and of all the bay cities the FBI have singled out the SFPD as the most corrupt, so there is a clear cut bias from one side on this if you can look at it in perspective plus u got all that eye for an eye bullshit because black are so used to being viewed as monolithic subculture that mob runs with the playbook and some human actions are justified to define existence/reality
who cares if he has a gun.. we have the RIGHT to bear arms..
and fight against tyranny..!!

lol wow, so they're rioting cause they want to be a bunch of crack-peddling getting drunk in public free-loading fucking bums? Fuck all these people and everything they stand for. They bitch and moan about the fare being two bucks, when the fare is probably heavily subsidized and actually charges the rest of the cost to taxpayers and car drivers. I know for a fact in seattle the bus fare is like 2.50 but if people had to pay how much it really costs for their ride, theyd be paying over seven dollars.
These jackasses should be mad at the people who are keeping them poor in the first place. The police aren't the problem, the top 1% is the problem. I bet these people have no clue what's really going on; our country is being gutted out by corporations and shady money men.
these losers want anarchy but Id guarantee at least over half of them are on some kind of government welfare or public help
give a loser a fish and he eats for one day. teach a loser to fish and they'd probably starve to death out of laziness
Alot of "liberals" walkin around tryna make up for their racist parents in these "liberal" cities on the W Coast, they wanna talk a good game so they get involved from the outside of the outside, same time like i said b4 there is alot of pent(sp?) up anger and justified anger in the black, call it how u will, community in SF, SFPD's homcide arrest rate is beyond pathetic, faster a certain demographic of people is gone or killed the more valuable the land is................ call it for what it is, see ya around b4 i get pushed out, cmon L 6 see ya on the MISH
He was violating his parole from when he was released from prison for trying to pimp out a 14 year old girl when he was 18. He wasn't supposed to leave the state of WA. Then the girl that got shot and killed (who wasn't also pregnant thankfully but was still killed as an innocent bystander) and the next day dude vanishes and ends up SFC while he was being looked for in Seattle for questioning as the main person of interest. Then a few days later his dumbass, who is on parole violation , doesn't pay bus fare, what a genius right? Even lets say the guy who tried to pimp a 14 year old didn't kill the other girl in Seattle, if you were on parole violation in a different state, wouldn't you be smart enough to pay your bus fare (not aimed at Monte because we know he isn't that smart)? At this point the cops only know him as a dude not paying his bus fare so of course they set out to kill him and then have a city wide conspiracy cover-up because the dude didn't pay his bus fare. Makes total sense.
Simply context
On December 11, Paul Dancik, a 26-year-old artist, was shot three times in the chest by a man as he was preparing to make a telephone call at a pay phone.
Two days later, on the evening of December 13, future San Francisco mayor Art Agnos, then a member of the California Commission on Aging, was attending a meeting in Potrero Hill. Agnos, 35, was in the largely black neighborhood to discuss building a government-funded health clinic in the area. After the meeting ended, Agnos was talking to two women curbside when a man shot him twice in the back. Agnos barely survived the attack.
During the same evening, Marietta DiGirolamo, 31, was walking along Divisadero Street when she was shoved into a doorway by a man and shot twice in the chest, and when the shots spun her around, once in the back. She died.
On December 20, "Angela Roselli" (not her real name), a 20-year-old college student, was shot three times near her apartment by one of two men. She survived, although one bullet nicked her spine.
An 81-year-old janitor, Ilario Bertuccio, was shot that same evening while walking on his way home from work in the Bay View district. He died almost instantly after four shots to the shoulder and chest.
ive stepped away from shit granted its easier for me than some but im goin to a CC and tryna be union man, this is simply context of the pent up aggression im talkin about
