  • Increase in Reported Tenderloin Sexual Assaults Probably a Good Thing, Says SFPD

    At last night's sparsely attended special Police Commission Meeting, held under the excessively bright lights of the Tenderloin Elementary School cafeteria, Commanding Officer Captain Gary Jimenez had a lot of positive things to report about the Tenderloin Station.

    USF undergrad Ryan Caskey, left, seen here with his ROTC colleagues, is accused of four campus rapesOne of George Carlin's lesser-known jokes was a fake news item about a tollbooth collector being arrested after years of systematically pouring boiling oil on drivers' hands. It seems he was tracked down with the aid of witnesses. On a similar -- and less funny -- note, The Snitch was dumbfounded that USF undergraduate Ryan Caskey, 21, allegedly raped four -- four! -- of his female "acquaintances"

Here's the breakdown from the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network: First, consider that 60 percent of rapes allegedly go unreported. If a rape is reported, then there's a 51 percent chance of an arrest. If an arrest is made, there's an 80 percent chance of a prosecuti

    ​There are some combinations that can only lead to trouble. Tequila and firearms. Tequila and cutlery. Tequila and white carpeting. The list goes on. Some don't even involve tequila. Some involve sex offenders. San Francisco police recently ran into a man sporting a troublesome combination of his own: A homeless vagrant near Fisherman's Wharf turned out to be an (A) unregistered sex offender who was; (B) sitting outside a toy store -- shudder -- and; (C) aggressively panhandling.
