There was a huge and spectacular fire at an abandoned warehouse on Treasure Island early Thursday morning. The SFFD let it burn because there was no risk that the fire would spread and it was too dangerous to send people in. They had to use the fire boat (which uses water from the bay) to put out the flames because there wasn't enough water pressure on Treasure Island itself for the hydrants to work.
A San Bruno family is looking for their missing father -- Noah Myoung, a 60-year-old Korean limo driver, left home for a job at 7 p.m. on May 1 and hasn't been seen since. He's 5'8", 165 pounds, last seen wearing a black suit and white shirt. His car, a black 2007 Lincoln town car, has a temporary tag on the back bumper with the number 18525. Call the San Bruno police if you have info: 650-616-7100.
And three robbers were foiled in their four attempts to rob people in a span of 10 minutes near Union Square Tuesday night: the first man warded off their attacks with his briefcase before escaping into a pizza parlor, the next guy outran them, and the third guy frightened them with his yells for help. They did beat up a hotel employee for his wallet next, but within minutes, the cops grabbed the perps (all three young adults from Union City) at Bush and Powell and arrested them.

More brazen criminal activity based on the notion that they won't get caught because of a myriad of reasons - more police needed is the big one in my mind.
Until our police force is properly staffed (which may be never the way fiscally irresponsible Supervisors keep pissing away money the City doesn't really have on pet projects), citizens need to be able to defend themselves against these groups of thugs. Sane/non-criminal folks should be able to carry a pistol with rubber bullets in this town for defense. Let the criminals sweat out whether or not we have rubber bullets or real bullets in the chamber.
