In response to last night’s pipe violence story, an anonymous reader wrote in with the following:
I saw another one last night. I biked down to Weird Fish/The Corner last night to get some food with my girlfriend, only to find that both were closed. We were sitting on our bikes discussing where to go next when I saw a smallish Latino walk intently past me with a metal pipe in his hand. I watched him run across the street, just north of the corner of 18th and Mission where he proceeded to start barking like a dog and then ran up on a group of dudes standing outside of the Hip Hop Clothing Smoke Shop. One of the guys immediately ran inside, while others stayed out on the corner and ducked and dodged swings of the pipe. I got the fuck out of there after that, but it didn’t seem like anyone was seriously injured – not sure though.
If only he was tall enough and sane enough to put that pipe to good use and take out the speakers blaring awful music out of that smoke shop dump. Alas…
@SFPD hopefully?
