THE NADIR…?
“ARE YOU BROWN–ARE YOU FROM THIS AREA?! YOU DON’T EVEN LOOK LIKE YOU LIVE HERE WITH YOUR BROKE-ASS SHIT ON YOU!”
AND
BATTERY! POLICE REPORT FILED FOR BATTERY, CA PENAL CODE 242–OUTCOME PENDING.
MOST DISGUSTING EXHIBITION BY TECHIES YET! 110818

 

The behavior of these tech workers, who have invaded and destroyed our beautiful San Francisco, has reached a new low, exhibiting an aggression sadly indicative of the times. Their disgusting insults and lack of consideration and dignity, as they clog our front yards and make life unlivable for locals, echo through the country as “justified intolerance and lack of kindness” by billion dollar corporations with a truly socially ignorant workforce.

Where are their string-pullers? The corporations they sell their souls to…they have no dignity to sit down peacefully and discuss the situation. They don’t reprimand these people who are an aggressive, confrontative embarrassment to them and themselves. As is the climate, such indignity seems to be encouraged and touted.

I was threatened at least a half-dozen times this day, had a rider commit battery against me, and was the target of several other offenses, all of which will be reported to the police and pursued to the furtherest extent of the law. I conduct myself with complete dignity and respect, and respect for and adherence to the law: I do not use profanity; I do not confront people physically, focusing on avoiding physical confrontation; I stay on public property (the sidewalk in front of OUR homes!); and I remain calm in an environment that is so disrespectful of individual thought as to be a clear and decisive warning regarding how corporations and their group-think mentality encourage this type of oppression of free expression and dissenting opinion, both in their corporate structures, and their employees.

I MUST CONSTANTLY REMIND THESE BARBARIAN TECH WORKERS TO NOT THREATEN ME, TOUCH ME, OR ASSAULT OR BATTER ME! THEY AND THEIR COMPANIES ARE ATTEMPTING TO MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPRESS DISSENTING OPINION WITHOUT FACING VIOLENCE. THEY CONTROL 99.9% OF MEDIA, AND IN THE REAL WORLD, ARE MET WITH THE REALITY THAT THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT CONTROL EVERYTHING. THEIR REACTION…COME TAKE A LOOK!

We now bring friends to oversee our safety from their physical violence and threats of the same. We are arranging a greater police presence; they have been quite understanding and empathetic. You may absolutely voice your opinion; that is the premise, and we respect that if you maintain any dignity. But be forewarned that if any of you ever assault us, touch us or our cameras, threaten us in any way, or in any way break the law, we will have you arrested. We are careful to obey the laws involved and respect them. REVELATION: YOU MUST ALSO!

As well, we and those seeing to our safety will exercise our rights to self-defense. We would never instigate physical confrontation, nor threaten anyone, as we, unlike you, are peaceful people who respect the laws of this land, but we will indeed protect ourselves from physical violence and assault. All our protests have been peaceful and lawful. We have sought to avoid conflicts at all times, ensuring we are not baited into such confrontation, but you are so very aggressive, we are concerned for our safety, and will protect ourselves from your acts of violence. Kindly show us the same respect we have shown you. YOU ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW NOR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, NOR RIGHTS OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND DOCUMENTATION! All the things these manipulators claim of protestors are THIER conduct–their aggression–their absence of respect. DO NOT BE DISSUADED BY THESE PATHETIC, COWARDLY TYRANTS! DO NOT GIVE IN TO THEIR THREATS, AND DISGUSTING AGGRESSION! DO NOT BE SILENT BECAUSE OF THIER SELF-HUMILIATING THREATS OF VIOLENCE!

IT’S NO SURPRISE WHATSOEVER THESE CORPORATE PAWNS HAVE NO ABILITY TO THINK INDEPENDENTLY, NOR ANY RESPCT FOR ONE WHO DOES AND EXPRESSES IT. TO THEM AND THE SYSTEM, IT IS A THREAT. THESE CORPORATIONS CONTROL 99.9% OF WHAT’S HEARD AND SEEN NOWADAYS; IF ONE FREELY EXPRESSES THEIR OPINION, WITNESS THE REACTION FOR YOURSELVES.

COME SEE THEM AT THEIR LOWEST (OR GIVEN THE CLIMATE, AND THE CORPORATIONS TO WHOM THEY’VE SOLD THEMSELVES, PERHAPS NOT!) BEWARE!

 

Build private bus stops OUTSIDE our neighborhoods, utilizing alternative energy sources (you can afford it—have some RESPECT!), so that we may sleep, breathe, and live again, and we will not have the same rights of expression and documentation. For now, if you’re going to invade our homes, and make life unlivable for local residents in the name of corporate greed, expect it to be rightly publicized!

“ARE YOU BROWN–ARE YOU FROM THIS AREA?”

 “Are you brown–are you from this area?!” asks this tech worker as he accosts me for exercising my First Amendment rights on public property. “You don’t even look like you live here with your broke-ass shit on you!” … “Shining fucking pillar of Brown people in this community is what I am,” he states. He then continues his aggression and profanity as he boards his corporate bus–the same buses and system that have aided gentrification and the destruction of San Francisco’s Mission District and its Latino community, which saddens me to no end. 

 

This type of disgusting hypocrisy, ad hominem attacks, and spewing of vitriol are what we’ve come to expect from this crowd. I’m offended greatly by his comments, which I feel are lowly and racist–they are wholly inappropriate, as is his constant use of profanity, and self-humiliating aggression.

 

“Are you brown–are you from this area?” states tech worker aggressively in San Francisco as I peacefully protest their corporations overrunning or homes and ability to live peacefully, stripping our City of its diversity and depth for corporate gain. “You don’t even look like you live here with your broke-ass shit on you,” he states aggressively. I feel he exhibits no respect for others, is insulting, intolerant, and an embarrassment. By the way, I’m a NATIVE SAN FRANCISCAN! I am wearing a rainbow pull-over from Guatemala, and an Ecuadorian cap.

This aggressor’s actions and words tell it all, in what I interpret as a clear attempt to intimidate and quell reporting and free expression at tech bus coverage and protest 110818 He uses profanity constantly, and embarrasses himself greatly. Note that the person next to him smiles constantly, as if the matter is a joke, exhibiting no understanding nor dignity. Another aggressor walks up to him and tries to stop his self-humiliation, but he exhibits no self-control. This is common conduct by an entitled group that has no consideration for those around them, instead using corporate gain to overrun a once-great city and its residents. The rider next to him wears a grin the entire time, I don’t know if out of ignorance, or bewilderment at this aggressor.

He rambles about the electric bus that runs in front of his place–I rest my case: PUBLIC, ELECTRIC! HELLLLLLOOO! vs PRIVATE for the privileged few, belching 80 buses of diesel into our windows every day for their convenience and PROFIT.

There’s nothing but shame exhibited by this group day after day, so that many in the neighborhood are disgusted to have to even see them everyday. Is this really the best face the corporations can put on to show how they respect the community and the right to express one’s option peacefully on public property, as their belching buses make life unlivable for local residents? 

When I returned home, there was a discussion on the news about how the current climate in the country is turning to this type of aggression, intolerance, and oppression of the media—how the political climate encourages this type of nasty display, and attempt to intimidate and oppress bringing light on such matters (it will NOT work!)–so sad to see such intolerance, ignorance and disrespect for others exhibited right in front of our homes. Notice how he’s “getting in my face,” approaching much too close to me. If this person represents the new disposition of a once-diverse, embracing city, as he claims to, I’m disgusted.

I believe this tech worker commits battery on me, CA Penal Code 242, striking me and my camera. I have filed a police report, with the hope of having her arrested or cited, as is applicable.

BUS INFORMATION:

Maroon colored

MPK

Commuter shuttle permit 07-0067

License 07116E2

Side number 3434

7:46am (may be off by one hour due to daylight savings change)

 

POLICE REPORT FILED FOR BATTERY, CA PENAL CODE 242–OUTCOME PENDING.

No–the ironies vs the Jim Acosta/White House incident don’t escape me, but in this case there are several key differences:

the camera is mine

we are on public property (the sidewalk)

there is little doubt in my opinion of the battery–I believe the video to be definitive

the video is definitely not doctored (and I retain the original), as I know next to nothing about video editing.

The behavior of these tech workers, who have invaded and destroyed our beautiful San Francisco, has reached a new low, exhibiting an aggression sadly indicative of the times. Their disgusting insults and lack of consideration and dignity—as they clog our front yards and make life unlivable for locals, cause the worst divide and homeless situation the City has ever seen, and in a sweeping corporate gesture overrun our once-diverse and dynamic city for corporate gain—echo through the country as “justified intolerance and lack of kindness” by billion dollar corporations with a truly socially ignorant workforce.

Where are their string-pullers? The corporations they sell their souls to…they have no dignity to sit down peacefully and discuss the situation. They don’t reprimand these people who are an aggressive, confrontative embarrassment to them and themselves. As is the climate, such indignity seems to be encouraged and touted.

We were threatened at least a half-dozen times this day, though we conduct myself with complete dignity and respect, and respect for and adherence to the law: we do not use profanity; we do not confront people physically, focusing on avoiding physical confrontation; we stay on public property (the sidewalk in front of OUR homes!); and we remain calm in an environment that is so disrespectful of individual thought as to be a clear and decisive warning regarding how corporations and their group-think mentality encourage this type of oppression of free expression and dissenting opinion, both in their corporate structures, and their employees.

WE MUST CONSTANTLY REMIND THESE BARBARIAN TECH WORKERS TO NOT THREATEN US, TOUCH US, OR ASSAULT OR BATTER US! THEY AND THEIR COMPANIES ARE ATTEMPTING TO MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPRESS DISSENTING OPINION WITHOUT FACING VIOLENCE. THEY CONTROL 99.9% OF MEDIA, AND IN THE REAL WORLD, ARE MET WITH THE REALITY THAT THEY ACTUALLY DO NOT CONTROL EVERYTHING. THEIR REACTION…COME TAKE A LOOK!

tech worker in striped shirt dances around me like a child then scurries like a coward 110818

Tech worker in striped shirt dances around me like a child then scurries like a coward 110818. As I protest and document peacefully as a Photojournalist on a public sidewalk against the corporate invasion of our once-wonderfully diverse San Francisco, and their running 80 belching buses in front of our homes every weekday, he believes an appropriate reaction is to dance around me repeatedly in a circle like a child. I remind him to not touch me, as these people are audaciously aggressive and disrespectful. It is necessary I bring a friend as security nowadays, as they cannot be trusted to refrain from physical confrontation, which I am wise and careful to avoid. But as you can see, they have no self-control, and cannot be trusted to conduct themselves with any respect or dignity whatsoever…indeed, as if spoiled, entitled children out of control.

He ducks around the corner, invading private property, then sneaks like a coward onto his bus while I’m not looking—so very impressive. It’s the same bus as carries the worker that commits battery against me, so this company is especially disgusting in my eyes:
BUS INFORMATION:
Maroon colored
MPK
Commuter shuttle permit 07-0067
License 07116E2
7:46am timestamp (may be off by one hour due to daylight savings change)

I feel this person exhibits the mind of child, and no respect whatsoever for the Constitution, nor the First amendment, nor local residents with absolutely 100% justified grievances. They forced these buses upon us without a vote, without environmental review, with the SFMTA and City Hall selling us out to their corporations—it’s disgusting! And here you have it: the type of representation that further convinces us that you have no respect nor self-control, and that you are an embarrassment to society, rather than the asset you believe.
