One of the commenters on sfgate dug up his myspace page, which perhaps has the douchiest photo of a human being I've seen in a year: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=35591755 His interests: music,movies,the bars,sex,cars, my favorite place in the world the cannibus club(need i say more) Well, Haight and Steiner, I'd say he doesn't need to say more.

All good stories start with: "We were at Molotov's at 5...."

To quote someone from the last time you typed that stupid shit, "Yes, let us know if the perpetrator was someone in a position of power who was videotaped in the act, and yet was allowed to go free. Then the crazy protesters will be up in arms for no good reason."

Apparently, megang, you have no sense of humor. Why not rip on Mattymatt for casting aspersions on the SFPD's willingness or lack thereof to investigate crimes?

Update from SFGate.com: The off-duty cop was trying to break-up an altercation between the suspect and somebody else... http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/02/11/BA2O15S6IN.DTL&tsp=1

Yeah, aren't cyclists always at fault? don't they always deserve to be stabbed?

You can't see because of the tinted windows. But I wouldn't mess, 'could be a fat golfing banker in khakis, 'could be a secret service tool with a taser. Either way, you're going to have to deal with someone who's overweight, they might squash you.

Hey, where is the "All bicyclists run red lights and don't wear helmets rant?" Have you folks gone soft?

How do you know that wasn't just some random asshole? Did he run to a marked car? Did he have a visible badge? And if it was an off duty cop that was an asshole to you, then the guy who got stabbed deserved it because he's an off duty cop too? They are all the same person?

I know these off-duty cops. I was riding in Critical Mass (first and last time, ever) about six years ago. I stopped at Ellis and Gough to look for some friends of mine. Some dude comes out of nowhere and pushes me hard in the chest. He says "I'm an off-duty cop," and then he runs away up the hill to his car. I was kind of shocked (unlike many regular CM riders, I didn't have my bike lock cocked to hit him in the head) and I said "why did you hit me?" Other riders started yelling at him, but the little bit*h ran away too fast. Keep doing things like that, and you'll ultimately meet someone who's crazy enough to stab you.

We were at Molotov's at ~5, watching the live coverage from next door. http://www.flickr.com/photos/troymccluresf/3270905892/

Wow. Witnesses! Amazing how when people give the police information they can actually catch someone.

Oh, so THAT'S what it takes for the SFPD to take an interest in making arrests.
