ASSAULT CITY
After two solid days of rain he was downright rantious.
“Elie Wiesel gets attacked in a San Francisco Hotel,” Pud said. “It’s like anyone can get attacked around here.
“When word got out that it’s ok for San Franciscan’s to beat up visiting choirboys, some people got the notion that any soft-target tourists were fair game.
“So when Elie Wiesel, the world’s foremost holocaust asserter, came to…
“Wait a second,” I shouted, “ what did you call Elie Wiesel?”
“A holocaust asserter,” Pud said. “You got a problem with that? Look, you can’t have holocaust deniers unless you first have holocaust asserters. Right?”
“But the guy completely misunderstood. In San Francisco only certain people get to attack tourists with impunity. White kids with money or juice can get away with a lot.
“But this guy was some jerkoff neo-nazi going after a world famous victim/survivor who has lots of rich friends.
“That’s what cops are for, to separate the authorized beater-uppers from the unauthorized.”
“There’s another group that gets to beat up people with impunity,” I said, “the cops themselves.”
Here’s a truly disgusting account of what looks like a serious felony, assault under color of authority, in which policemen in uniform decided to do some gay bashing.
The city’s going to pay $83,000 to settle civilly, but, get this, for some puling reason or other, the perp-cops are receiving no disciplinary action at all.
“What about the Yale choir beatings?” Pud asked.
