SFist Blotter

Aw, geez. Gang members are being charged with elder abuse for moving into the home of an elderly widow with dementia and using it as a base for drug crimes. They even ate her Meals on Wheels food (and complained about how bad it was). She had apparently been calling 911 since March, but kept hanging up once she got through. If you're making so much money selling crack on Mission and 19th, can't you at least splurge on a burrito or something?

In other unfair to the elderly news, an 80-year-old tourist from Pennsylvania is recovering from stab wounds received inside his San Francisco hotel. The tourist and his wife were followed into the Ramada on Market Street, where the assailant tried to rob them. The man chased after the robber, but collapsed in a pool of blood in the lobby. The wife is okay, but the robber got away. Is there some kind of "sorry our city sucks" fund we can donate to for this guy?

And the cops have named a "person of interest" in the murder of the SF General doctor last week -- the recently-paroled son of the doctor's assistant. The doctor's missing car was found in the parking lot of the place the son was staying. Hmmmmm.
