It is 7 a.m., 50°, and headed to the mid-60s. It should be a sunny weekend, which is good because it’s Sunday Streets on — you guessed it — Sunday!
This week the court heard closing arguments in the Edwin Ramos triple-murder trial. The SF Chronicle reports that Ramos’ lawyer, Marla Zamora, argued that police got the wrong man. She claims it was Ramos’ companion that day, Wilfredo “Flaco” Reyesruano, who fired the gun that killed Anthony Bologna and two of his sons. From the Chronicle:
After the killing, as police focused on Ramos, Reyesruano fled to South Carolina, adopted a fake name and apparently contacted a plastic surgeon, Zamora said. She argued those were the actions of a guilty man.
“They didn’t even look for Wilfredo,” Zamora said of the police. “Who took flight here? Not Edwin.”
The jury is currently deliberating.
Chronicle Gives Occupy Some Pointers
Yesterday the Chronicle fired up an editorial about the Occupy movement and the May Day vandalism in San Francisco and Oakland:
The violence and destruction of the May Day protests in Oakland and San Francisco were beyond the pale, which seems to have become the norm for Occupy. What possible good could be achieved by trashing and seizing a vacant building that the Archdiocese of San Francisco planned to lease to raise money to help low-income students pay their tuition? What message was being sent by terrorizing small-business owners who are trying mightily to stay afloat in a down economy? Whose bright idea was it to trash a police station in the Mission, where officers are deeply engaged in making the neighborhood safer?
Something tells me that the occupiers on the ground rarely read the Chronicle’s editorial page, but maybe the rest of the 99 percent does.
Enjoy the weekend!
