SFist Interviews: John Ortved, Author of The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History
Two men were shot inside Impala, a Broadway nightclub frequented by types who still think bottle service is cool, at around 1:15 a.m. this morning. According to SF Weekly, "two men were each shot in the leg, and were transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, according to Lieutenant Rich Pate of the San Francisco Police Department. The shooter was not arrested and police have not identified a suspect, Pate said." Impala, we should point out, was also the same venue mentioned in SF Weekly's cover story this week on "the failures of the San Francisco Entertainment Commission to adequately regulate violent clubs." Oops. Rightfully livid about this morning's violent shooting, Sam Young, owner of the nearby Dragon Bar, shot off a cross email to City Hall this morning, saying, "This should come as no surprise since I stated numerous times that this would happen ... As usual, City Hall does absolutely nothing and now there is another shooting, which could have and should have been prevented."

"types who still think bottle service is cool" ... I am enjoying your characterizations of the bargoers of SF, Mr. Keeling.
agreed.
which is further past cool, bottle service or just calling someone a douchebag?
bottle service
I am very glad to see the state ABC is focusing on this instead of harassing Bottom of the Hill and Cafe du Nord on the ratio of food vs drink sales. Oh, wait...
My understanding is, one of the 'gentlemen' shot HIMSELF while trying to get the gun out of his baggy pants.
Also, when the club evacuated due to the gunshots, there was a stabbing on the sidewalk outside. The stabber was caught but the stabee ran away down Kearny Street.
North Beach sounds awfully Darwinian.
was his name "plaxico?"
You sure about that? Because if one of the guys did accidentally shoot himself, and he then went to SF General, then how could the SFPD not have arrested or identified him by now?
(C'mon -- the SFPD isn't THAT inept.)
I drove by Impala on Tuesday and the front door was covered in plywood. I figured it had gone out of business.
Note To Self: Avoid clubs with an unfinished plywood front door!
Stay classy North Beach!
Um, it took this long for someone to get shot/stabbed/impaled at that mecca of douchebags?
I intentionally cross the street when I see the sign on the front of the building. Bad news.
Ah, North Beach; it's like Disneyland with strip clubs and stabbings.
A few more shootings, and the SFHA will have to take over.
