The San Francisco Citizen

“Please please please don’t give me a ticket.”

This is the scene today in the Haight - a wounded Mercedes Benz just a stone’s throw away from Janis Joplin’s old place up Lyon Street. On the windscreen is a plaintive note from the owner: “Please please please don’t give me a ticket.” As you can see, vandal(s) demolished five of the seven windows.

A timid car owner might have done a little cleanup and taken off, but a brave soul will rely on the good hearts of San Francisco parking control officers.

Success!!! The representative from DPT had mercy and DID NOT issue a hefty ticket for the crime of blocking street cleaners. Doesn’t that just brighten your day?

Well, park it where you want, but don’t be surprised if it looks like this by the next day.

Local artists used this Sprinter 2500 van as their canvas:

Welcome to San Francisco!

It seems the ecotage movement is now going after the Toyota Prius hybird in Northern California. No longer satisifed with attacking gasoline-powered SUV’s and pickups [yes Silverado pickups, sometimes Wiki is wrong], eco-griefers must now be turning their sights to the greenhouse-polluting Prius.

Why else would folks be stalking these popular hybrid cars? The people behind these attacks probably drive 100% electric cars like the Tesla Roadster.

Be on the lookout for vandals in all-electric cars or golf carts. They could be coming after your hybrid.

Beware!

Sometimes, when a mob gets going after one thing, it turns and attacks another thing. Funny how that works.

“In America, they came first for the SUV’s, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t an SUV owner;

And then they came for the pickups, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a pickup owner;

And then . . . they came for my Prius . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
