Former San Francisco Fire Commissioner Attacked with Crowbar Day after CashApp Founder Murdered
Meanwhile, San Francisco’s congressional representative Nany Pelosi offers remarks and Gov. Gavin Newsom makes appearances in Florida.
Last week, Bob Lee, a technology executive who founded the mobile payment company Cash App, was stabbed near the upscale Rincon Hills area of San Francisco.
There are currently no suspects. The UK Daily Mail has obtained security footage showing a shadowy figure wheeling away a suitcase and searching through flower beds seconds after Lee was stabbed.
Cops have declined to say whether the stranger is a potential suspect or person of interest in Tuesday morning’s murder or whether any items – such as a suitcase – were stolen from the Cash App founder, 43.
A spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department told DailyMail.com that detectives were aware of the security camera video but discussing the details could ‘affect the integrity of the investigation.’
One day after the stabbing, San Francisco Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani was brutally attacked by a transient with a metal crowbar just steps away from his family’s front door, located in one of the best neighborhoods in the city.
Carmignani was attacked a day after Cash App founder Bob Lee was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant early Tuesday morning.
Carmignani, 53, was leaving his mother’s home at about 7 p.m. in the Marina District when he was accosted by a man waving an industrial metal crowbar, friends of the ex-commissioner told The Post.
San Francisco Police later arrested Garret Doty, 24, who was booked on assault with a deadly weapon.
Joe Alioto-Veronese, a prominent attorney and friend, said Carmignani was at his mother’s home when he noticed Doty and two other transients blocking the driveway.
When Carmignani asked them to move, he was bludgeoned in the back of the head by Doty, which injured the former smoke-eater’s skull and brain.
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi represents San Francisco. She is preparing remarks about the violence in the city.
“It’s very sad and tragic — any loss of life is tragic,” Pelosi said, “but when you know the person, it hits home in a different way.” She said she did not know Lee herself, but many of her friends did.
Pelosi said that she would “have more to say” soon about the city’s fentanyl problem. The issue has received additional attention after critics noted that drug dealing was rampant outside the federal building on Seventh Street named after her, the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.
However, those remarks will not top those of Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson, who was dissecting the leadership of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Carlson described Newsom as “the triumph of packaging over reality.” He also cited Lee’s murder.
“This is the state in which crime has been legalized and the only crimes are now thought crimes. If you disagree with the people in charge, then you’re in serious trouble,” Carlson said. “But if you hurt others or steal, you’re fine. You’re part of a protected class. That’s the definition of tyranny.”

“Here you have plutocrats dining with lobbyists, ignoring the very orders they so self-righteously impose on others. Gorging themselves in seclusion as the people they’re supposed to be helping wither & die.” pic.twitter.com/Df6jNsJ4Xj

As a Californian, I will note that Carlson’s critique did not go far enough. But it was so savage I was tempted to call 9-1-1 and report a murder.

Again, it is not the people in power who are at fault, it is the people who put them in power, i.e., the voters. The voters can see what’s happening around them. If they are content with that, then this is on them. A case in point is the recent election of the mayor of Chicago. They can see the murder and mayhem, the closing of businesses, the failing schools, etc. Yet when given a choice between someone who might improve matters and someone who will probably be worse than Lori Airhead, they chose the latter. They made their bed, now they will have to sleep in it.
It is true. But it is useful to ask why they vote against their interests.
Because if the right doesn’t learn how to gain and secure the levers of power, it won’t really matter soon.
In Chicago, it’s the Chicago way as seized by Marxists.
A precinct doesn’t vote for the winner? Trash doesn’t get collected.
Gangs help get out the vote. Don’t get out to vote? Expect a visit.
Media? All controlled.
Don’t support the mayor with the teachers Union vote? The teachers are on strike and everyone has to stay home to take care of the kids.
So people vote not to rock the boat too much or out of fear or short term convenience or fooled by the media. Or all of the above.
And they get ground down by a relentless Marxist foe intent only on gaining power.
And Obama brought that to DC.
And now you have the same issue nationally. And people are voting for more of it
The public sector unions play an outsize role in blue strongholds. They generally vote as a block and provide volunteers for canvassing, organizing and get out the vote operations. They are backed with campaign funds from big money donors, sometimes the bulk of the funds d/prog raise are from out of State. They will happily sell out Citizens and services in return for bloated pension promises and financial compensation packages that exceed the private sector.
GoP voters don’t organize nearly as well. Most of us aren’t ‘joiners’ by nature and we lack similar pre-existing structures to springboard into or leverage for political competition. By and large the GoP does very well with small donors and small govt folks but they by their nature, are distrustful of big organizational appeals and is a structural disadvantage for the GoP at election time.
70% of eligible voters in Wisconsin didn’t vote in the recent Supreme Court election
People don’t vote and it allows the left harvest votes easily
The right needs to play the game as the rules are written, and harvest the daylights out of their own votes.
The people in power are at fault as well. The fact that they have been elected by idiots does not excuse their failure to do their jobs.
>The fact that they have been elected by idiots does not excuse their failure to do their jobs.
On the contrary, Chris. The idiots who voted for them have given them a mandate to continue to destroy civilization. They see this as their job.
Imagine choosing to live or continuing to live in a city where a chronic, well-known problem is only discussed when the “right” people are impacted. Otherwise, you are probably in the wrong for even discussing it. And even then it’s likely little will be done to address the underlying issues. At most it may simply be masked further to make it less public. I won’t be surprised if there are added taxes to residents and business owners to further coddle the homeless but perhaps build or modify locations house them. Create “homeless zones”.

The lesson appears to be don’t confront the murder hobos without a significantly larger force.
or, don’t be walking alone in a dead zone at 2:30 in the morning…..
So in San Francisco Crowbar Day is the day after Knife Day?
Hey, San Franciscans how ya doin’? Ya tired of winnin’ yet?
The solution: crowbar control!
It really chaps their ass that neither of these incidents lets them yammer about “gun violence.”
it was actually knife night. Probably a completely different story.
The assault is vicariously tragic to Pelosi in a different way because she knows people who know the victim. Her street should be called the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
He was practically like a pony to her.
How many ordinary people have been attacked, murdered, robbed, or raped? I believe San Franciscans were recently told to consider car break-ins a “fact of life”. I’m sorry a wealthy man is dead and a retired commissioner and Nancy Pelosi’s husband have been attacked, but it appears murder and mayhem in SF are only news worthy when the rich, famous, or powerful are the victims. That’s horrifying to me.
No, it was Los Angeles, but same shit, different shitty.
These people cannot understand that there are no “safe places”. Those of us who live in sketchy areas know we had better be read to meet our own challenges. There is nobody coming to save you. Why was this man unarmed. He was completely within his rights to shoot this vagrant down.
You’re being sarcastic, aren’t you?
Why was this man not armed in San Francisco?
Because it’s San Francisco.
Seattle had a Darwin Award – an older family went to a park to celebrate a birthday, gave food to the “wildlife” and got stabbed.
Voting has consequences. Deadly consequences.
