SF Weekly Letters for the Week of November 12-18, 2015 

Comments

An open letter to cops: I would like to invite all law enforcement officers to contact me if they or their loved ones need medical marijuana ("Raid First, Investigate Later," Chris Roberts, 9/24/15). I've supplied medical marijuana to veterans for over 10 years. I know a lot of vets go into law enforcement when they're discharged from their service. I'm hoping that if law enforcement officers hear from the veterans themselves that medical marijuana indeed helps them, then they'll look more closely at medical marijuana. If someone you know is messed up, let me know. This is not a stupid joke. I was born at West Point, and I have very close ties to the military. As always, I need an up-to-date recommendation from a doctor. P.S. To any potential thieves, our new policy is to not have any cash on the premises, ever. James J. "Oaky Joe" Munson, Sonoma

Keep San Francisco policed: I've lived in the Haight-Ashbury for 15 years ("Park Station Police Have Zero Tolerance for Weed, Noise, and Sitting on the Sidewalk," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 11/6/15). I am tired of people shitting in front of my door and on my steps. I am tired of the trash that hobos leave behind when they shamble off in the morning. I am overjoyed the police are finally taking our complaints seriously. Tim Wayne

RIP idealism: It's not the fucking 60s anymore. Get a job. StinkinHippies

Occupational hazard: It's fun to see a dimwit like Jeremy Lybarger get his ass handed to him. Ian Curtis Mayfield

Flawed by design: As residents have repeatedly pointed out, the issues we have faced — our homes inundated with raw sewage, our health at risk — are not the result of Mother Nature or flooding, as SFPUC officials continue to insist ("Ew: Rain Bubbling Sewage in SF 'Hood, Neighbors Say," Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, The Snitch, 11/9/15). We deal with shit in our homes because of basic design flaws clearly indicated on SFPUC's own website, problems that it has been ignoring for more than 50 years, perhaps because affected residents live in a blue-collar, working-class neighborhood. It's a disgrace that upstanding, taxpaying, rate-paying SF residents have to fight so hard for a basic public utility — keeping harmful, toxic, disgusting sewage out of our homes and businesses. SFPUC and SF city leadership should be ashamed of themselves. Fix the freaking sewer already. FrustratedinSF

They'll grow up to be trolls: What will become of our special snowflakes when they're forced to leave their safe spaces? ("Berkeley Students Stage Walkout After Racist Message Discovered," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 11/5/15). Lesbian Observer

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
