Goodness, we go away for three days and look how much stuff happens. They found the body of a missing woman in Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park; there were seven shootings in SF over the weekend (22nd and Folsom; Glen Park; and China Basin), a member of the Raiders Black Hole got caught and killed in gang crossfire, and there was an armed carjacking at Geary and 27th Ave. Not to mention all the Halloween-related crime: three shootings in the Western Addition and a stabbing at Castro and 18th, someone firing a BB gun at 18th and Guerrero, a shooting at Albion and 17th (yo, that's right by the police station!). Someone lit a homeless man on fire downtown this morning. And in Oakland, someone may have kidnapped a young boy wearing a Scream mask too. What is with people these days?? Sigh. Well, we do try to keep it cheerful around here -- so here's the one piece of upbeat news we could find: a man who drove his SUV off the road near his house in a remote section of Marin was finally rescued, after his dog found him and barked for help until someone called 911. Good girl, Lassie!

Hope y'all had a Merry Fitzmas.

SFist interviews Jason Blalock

Police today reported that two members of the Oakland Raiders, Charles Woodson and Marques Anderson, were arrested early Monday morning and held in jail for public drunkeness. The two, obviously celebrating a rare Raiders victory and the fact that they’re not playing for the Niners, were arrested when a woman drove up to a police officer and told him that two men- Woodson and Anderson- were in her car and refusing to get out. The officer brought them in, reporting that Woodson and Anderson were “...very uncooperative. They had problems maintaining their balance and had a strong odor of alcohol. They were acting in a belligerent manner." No mention as to the women’s relationship with the two men. While the Raiders are in the midst their usual “meh” season, Al Davis and members of the Black Hole have to be slightly happy that in some ways, today’s Raiders are still holding fast to their motto: “Commitment to Excellence.” After all, what says Raiders football more than getting drunk and being arrested? All we need is another player revolt and it’ll be just your average season for the Silver & Black.
