I started this thread about a week ago and no one made any references to Pulp Fiction!
I think ML should have a poll section. I would love to see a vote on which Mission District cafe matches the Holdup Scene of PF.
6 cops injured chasing one guy?
Thank you all for your comments. I was able to get more information from police on the robbery at 25th and Alabama. There were five victims: The first victim was on the street and four others were inside a house. According to Officer Carlos Manfredi, SFPD mistakenly counted six of their officers as victims. The six officers were injured during the chase but shouldn’t have been counted in the number of victims. I’ve corrected the story and added more information. Helene
The actual citywide stats are: 10+ electronic robberies on Sunday, 14 electronic robberies on Monday, 7 electronic robberies on Tuesday. But SFPD characterizes them as petty thefts- like a person stealing chapstick from Walgreens.
maybe it was that art gallery on the corner. I can see 11 artsy people being inside sipping their drinks & admiring the paintings & someone just walking in & taking everyone’s stuff.
So, if we go by this site alone, that’s 11 violent robberies and assaults in 5 days. What the hell is going on?
Was it a church service stick up? An eatery of some sort, a bus? Skateboard park full of skaters?
Eleventy?
Helen,
Can we get more information on how one person robbed 11 people?
Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing. It’s still light out at 5:15 too!
