Another reason why San Francisco is just a sick city.
From the San Fran Chronicle: San Francisco authorities unveiled a no-nonsense response Tuesday to a
Giants victory celebration that spun out of control Sunday night,
vowing to bring both criminal and civil charges against many of those
arrested for stirring the chaos.
Those being targeted include Andrew Fitzsimons, accused of shooting a firearm out of a window; Aichieu Saefong, accused of throwing bottles at a Muni bus; and Luis Lomeli, accused of throwing bottles at police officers.
Those three are among more than 30 people who traded their San Francisco Giants
orange for jail-issued orange jumpsuits when celebrations rejoicing the
team's World Series win turned into a destructive riot, primarily in
the Mission District.
City officials were shocked by the early
morning outbreak of vandalism - including the torching of a $700,000
Muni bus, flipping cars,
dancing on taxis and buses, and touching off about 70 trash fires that
were fed with old mattresses, discarded furniture and plastic
trash cans.....
The city attorney's office did not seek action against protesters who
vandalized Mission District businesses earlier this year. Herrera cited
the sheer amounts of evidence against the Giants rioters in comparison
to the protesters, and also the need to send a message to any
possible instigators.
In the Mission District, rioters set 70 garbage fires and threw
bottles at police officers, wounding two who sustained minor lacerations
from the broken glass. They tagged a San Francisco police van with
anarchy signs and smashed windows.The windows to the GLBT History Museum in the Castro were also shattered. Police spokesman Officer Carlos Manfredi said officers were still investigating all reports of vandalism from the riot and more arrests are possible.
