A sex crime, a shovel-wielding psycho and a head stabbing: Eyewitness account of Saturday night’s street fight

Earlier today, our own Ariel Dovas speculated as to the origins of Saturday night’s street fight. And commenters added bits and pieces to the tale. Now here we have a lengthy eyewitness account, from a reputable source who wishes to remain nameless:

Person X: i was at that bar fight
Sent at 10:30 AM on Tuesday
me: what happened!
Person X: it was all those skater kids from the mission
i can tell u the whooooooooooooooole story
and yes, someone actually came out of nowhere with a snowshovel and started attacking people
me: what started it? how many people were actually involved?
Sent at 10:34 AM on Tuesday
Person X: ok, so this one young party girl i always see around with the skater dudes
at then end of the night when they were kicking people out
starts yelling i nthe bar at some taller random creepy guy
trying to push him and was saying he was touching all of her friends and herself’s private parts
and she supposedly told the staff at the bar to kick him out earlier and they didnt
Sent at 10:37 AM on Tuesday
me: dang
Sent at 10:39 AM on Tuesday
Person X: so they all go outside and start fighting the dude
cuz the girl is all hooting and hollering that he touched her coochie
and u know those crazy 20 yr old skater kids who r just looking for any excuse to fight
well the girl starts fighting the guy
i look over and the dudes jump in the middle of it as the guy is holding a huge bottle to her neck
Sent at 10:52 AM on Tuesday
me: wow
i gotta run out, but feel free to keep telling the story
Sent at 10:55 AM on Tuesday
Person X: next thing u know everyone is punching everyone and some short hispanic looking kid with curly hair comes running from across the street to where everyone is in front of gestalt and starts hitting people
Sent at 11:00 AM on Tuesday
Person X: thank god it was a snow shovel because if it was a real shovel there could be a lot of dead people right now
anyways
Sent at 11:01 AM on Tuesday
Person X: i run down the block for safety and people are coming up to to other people over there swinging and suckerpunching people left and irght
i heard a window shatter cuz people were through big glass bottles (which they must have got out of the trash outside on the street) at the window of gestalt
the fight kinda disperses into segments
a group in front of gestalt
a group across the street
and then a group walking down the street toward mission
Sent at 11:04 AM on Tuesday
Person X: at that point the cops roll up and i see the dude with the shovel running down the block so i point them at him cuz he was sketchy as fuck
tha dude is trying to pumch people down the block still
we are leaving and all these ambulances come to that corner with the sketchy guy went
after we left people are saying they “hear” people saying someoneone “got stabbed in the head”
now that seems kinda crazy, but then again it is the mission so…………………..
and i dont know anything else than that
i tried looking up police reports online but couldnt find anything

    A snow shovel… in San Francisco? Well that’s a first.

  2. carlos. says:

    LOL “dumb skater kids from the mission”

  3. stop snitching says:

    i was there that night and that dude deserved to get his ass beat. the gestalt window ended up not being broken- someone just threw a jameson bottle at the people pummeling the pervert dude at the door. as far as you x- stop snitching you faggot move back to wherever the fuck you’re from. if you’re so scared about your safety get the fuck off the d block by the time it’s last call, jodie.

    “me: dang”

    george will would be proud.

    • scum says:

      Glad fake scum was posting while I was driving around looking for parking. Keep up the good work evil twin.

  5. stop snitching says:

    this blog should be called the mission, an out of towners p.o.v.(aka scared white people, aka i gentrified your neighborhood u mad, aka ironic shit i see on the streets, aka banksy fan club, aka food truck meet up, aka what are we eating lets yelp this place for tonight, aka white guilt, aka orders burritos in spanish grahssy-ahs (gracias), aka what burning man structure was the best, aka don’t look at me i don’t steal because i’m not black, aka we’re soft as fuck, aka we hate rap music)

  6. s says:

    skater kids don’t try to start fights you kook. Go back to the north side of the city, the Marina misses you.

  7. manfreckles says:

    SNITCH !!! FREAK !!!

  8. Mewr says:

    Sooo… I’m not the only one thinking ss was part of said fight, right?

  9. Haz Been says:

    I moved from the Mission in 1995 to avoid the yuppies. Now the yuppies are dressed like you and me. They are everywhere. Sometimes when I am brushing my teeth, I feel like I am staring at one. Fucking yipsters ruined everything.

  10. stop snitching says:

    cats are fuckin’ gay

  11. stop snitching says:

    get the fuck out of our city

  12. Gimme says:

    It’s really cute when folks act all street and tuff and have little block party fights.

    As for stopping snitching — are you retarded? Is it better to have some sort of street justice system to keep/maintain order? Seems to really work in keeping gang crime under control. Fuck you.

    • stop snitching says:

      street justice? what more street justice do you fucking need? a pervert who touched numerous girls without permission gets his ass beat by a bunch of skaters? how much more street justice is that? maintaining order? why the fuck do you think no one was to be found 2 mins after the fucking incident? no one got in trouble, the pervert got his ass beat, you privileged mother fuckers got scared, what else is there? why don’t you go water your plants and eat cheese and crackers

  13. Manny says:

  19. stop snitching says:

The rest of you poser bitches get to skippin, ya har? Anyways, sorry for takin up your time, i gots ta get back to my rachel ray show. she’s making popcorn balls up in here mother fucker!

    • Rhiannon says:

      This, although I’m gonna deduct a point for the lack of mention of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s ass, which is required if you even THINK of Party of Five.

  20. sixtypercenttogether says:

    stop snitching = commence trolling!

    pulling up my chair, grabbing some popcorn, and watching it all unfold. it’s like Maury Povich up in here!

  21. stop snitching's mother says:

    Gary, stop messing around on your computer and get back to your calligraphy homework. if you don’t finish tonight your father and I wont let you finish Downton Abbey.

  22. stop snitching says:

    Damn mom, leave me alone. also, that mr bates is the shit, fo realz

  23. Seriously though says:

    Stop Snitching = My dog. This website really isn’t run by anyone exciting, just a bunch of complete norm-storm Nancy’s and Nate’s.

    Average week of postings:

    - bathroom tags
    - someone’s bike
    - this girls shirt is cool, right?
    - someone’s bike is stolen
    - there was a fight at this place
    - there are a lot of bikes locked to this post
    - this stain on my shirt looks sorta like Alf’s nose

  24. The mission is the dumping ground. It’s where every midwest kid (including myself 15 years ago) got off the bus, wide eyed, and ready to get stoned. Then, there wasn’t a bunch of families and mommies with strollers and half sleeves. It was dirty, it was exciting, it was cheap, and best of all.. You could buy drugs on the street when your dealer couldn’t come through with yer bag o weed that night.

    Now a days, its nothing but an illusion of non-conformity. Its ridiculous. I can’t even find a used bike store there that will sell me a bike for under 800 dollars. I mean, what the hell people? By 2am, you got crowds of coked up 21 year olds who can’t tell the difference between a Banksy and a Warhol.

    This sit around and pretend they live here, but they don’t. The survive for that night out.. that night out gets older and older after 10 years of it. Do us all a favor. Move to NYC or move back home to Mom’s house, and give us DP back. Hell, please.. Give us our city back, or at least grow some hair on your balls and move to Little Saigon or the TL. Then you will feel what the Mission used to feel like.

    REAL

    Thanks.
    John

    • Salad says:

      +1 Co-Sign

    • okayplus says:

      This thread is amazing. My favorite is the sheer non sequitur awesomeness of the fact that this guy “HATES Hippocrates”. I assume he’s talking about the ancient greek physiscian and father of western medicine.

      First do no harm motherfucker!

  27. I witness says:

    For clarity: Snow shovel dude wasn’t a curly haired hipster skater. Ok, he did have a curly rat tail poking out of his hat (so MAYBE he had curly hair) as well, but the fact that he was in all red and claiming Sureno in between shovel swings makes me think he rolls with a different crew. He also tried to rob the dude that him and friends jumped but stopped when I yelled “5-O, 5-O!” even though cops didn’t show for at least another 5 minutes. I didn’t plan on intervening but for whatever reason my tiny reptilian brain can watch a guy get jumped but can’t handle seeing someone get robbed right in front of me.

    • Dumb Skater Kid From The Mission says:

      All red and claiming Sureno? You sure about that?

    • Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

      Wearing all red and claiming sureno? Seems like a good way to get shot.

    • stop snitching hoe says:

      he wasn’t wearing all red you dumb hoe get your shit straight before talkin’

  28. frankinsf says:

    I’m here for pics of that “coochie”. I need to see evidence. Just sayin’…

  29. YOUNGParrrrtyGIRL WITH SKATER DUDES says:

    Can i clarify he DIDNT have a bottle to my neck i had a bottle to HIS neck and yeah he was being gross to numerous girls. he deserved it and you clearly didnt know what was going on. FUNNNN night nonthelesss

  30. The Tens says:

    You alls a buncha wack ass snitchin’ bitches. Go eat a fucking burrito on your fixie. You alls moved here from somewhere else, fucking Herbs. Fuck moving. I was conceived in Seals Stadium, bitch. And if you wanna know why, I’ll give you 17 reasons , motherfucker.

    Also, I’m working on prints of a map of San Francisco made out of words in stop snitching’s comments. I’ll be selling them at Ritual and Gracias Madre this weekend.

    Now, excuse me, I gotta go stab some motherfuckers.

  31. laffer says:

    Hello, Portland? Yeah Hi….I need to bail this assed-out Friasco town – are there any vacancies?
    Lots? Active train yards, too……? For real???? Aight, where do I sign up?

    Adios, Sco – we were tight once, but you got turned out.

  32. nick says:

    then go home??????????????

  33. Matthew says:

    What the hell is going on here?

  34. Bill says:

    A good old fashioned native v. transplant debate. These never get old.

  35. Meesha says:

    This rules. STOP SNITCHING FOR PREZ.

  36. Skidstheclown says:

    This has gotten as stupid as Craigslist.

  37. scum says:

    Glad to see that kids these days are just as stupid, and talk as much shit as they did when I was a kid. The differenceis that when we talked shit we had no internet and did it face to face.

    • Stop snitching hoe says:

      I constantly put you out of towners niggas in check and talk shit to your face you don’t know me nigga. Fuck y’all faggot ass biggots

      • scum says:

        I am not a nigga or a faggot ass. would you like to meet up and talk face to face?

      • scum says:

        And I have lived in The City much longer then you son.

        • stop snitching hoe says:

          i was born and raised in this city mane you can’t beat that unless you a native too and if you is i don’t why u mad. everyone’s “out here” these days but fools haven’t been out here. i seen you hoes gentrify my neighborhood, meet me anytime homie i’m on 21st and shotwell and always on the d block.

          i like how the that cranky old fool was cryin on his blog n shit talking bout come meet us bloggers at benders and i’m like nah, kevin is the homie, i ain’t gonna bring beef to his bar, YA FI MEEEE

          • stop snitching hoe says:

            BOUT IT BOUT IT

          • scum says:

            I know the owners of Benders very well, all three of them. How did the S.F. school system fail to teach you english?

          • Vic Wong says:

            I posted the invite to Benders, not Cranky Old Mission Guy. So you’re talking to me, not him.

            The commenters on Mission Mission are not the same as the writers for Mission Mission. I think a lot of people mix that up. Actually if you pay attention we (the writers) don’t really have a lot of strong opinions one way or the other. We just post stuff that we find interesting. Sure there might be a demographic you’re talking about that is equated to us. I can handle that, but don’t kill the messenger.

            My other point is that look, if you really wanted to confront us in person it’s not hard at all. You know our names and where we hang out. I dont think people really do, otherwise it would have happened a long time ago. This blog has been around 5 years. So all this is just shit talking on the internet, which is fine. I can take it. I dont take internet stuff seriously. Ever read youtube comments? It’s not gonna ruin anyone’s day.

  38. Queen Bitch says:

    wait, is this the tread about mark zuckerberg at the park?

  39. Fuck boy says:

    haha FLEX

  40. (yawn)..a real hardcore would lend me three bucks so i can get back to fidas for another 40 ouncer..pay ya back

  41. stop twitching says:

    stopsnitching is the funniest little boy on the innernet! He thinks that San Francisco is HARD! Stopsnitching, the only thing that’s hard in Frisco is that thing your boyfriend is sticking up your backside.

    Little frisco punk, quit talking with your mouf full.

    • Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

      I’m confused. First you complain about random internet trollboy saying San Francisco is “HARD”, and then you go on to complain, via homophobic metaphor, about Frisco being some sort of not-hard locale.

      But what does a smallish city in Texas have to do with San Francisco?

      • stop twitching says:

        I’m confused, are first you complain about using the slang spelling of “frisco” and then you spell doctor with a “k” and leave the “a” out of “death”.

        And since when is it homophobic to suggest that homosexuals participate in anal sex? Are you homophobically suggesting that stopsnitching is not gay because of his gnagsta boy persona? I know him and he is.

        Thank you in advance for your next silly reply.

  42. Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable says:

    Yes, you are, indeed, confused!

  43. confused says:

    …and all along here i was thinking that stopsnitching was a hysterical bpd girl. i can only think that hes jerkin everyones chain, or hes fourteen years old, tops.

  44. Rajeev Dhar says:

    If the guy was acting like a perv and got beat then he reaped what he sowed. Sounds like the woman had it pretty under control though. More women should stand up for themselves when they get harassed and more men should control their tempers. Personally, I’ve stepped up for friends plenty, but I have no interest in getting hurt or hurting someone else. What if they got hurt seriously and it wasn’t really worth it? I couldn’t deal with the shame. So if it just some trash talk I can brush it off. I’m an artist not a fighter, though you could be both. I do think the people out on the weekends near that corner get really aggro. I’ve lived near there for 12 years and it has gotten a kind of weird angry energy over the last five. I guess I’ve mellowed out, too and I have more responsibilities. I think some of the hostile feeling have come because a lot of people from outside the neighborhood are coming by on the weekends. People are territorial sometimes.
