"I just got out of prison homie, and you remind of a bitch I fucked in the ass the entire time I was there."

Damn gentrifying yuppies ruining Lake Shitty Way.

does the fact that the man had his fedora knocked off his head make this funny? i don't get it.

@3 - It knocked his hat off multiple times as he tries again and again to pick up his hat and carry on his way. Try to imagine it as a scene in a Buster Keaton movie, and it becomes a lot funnier.

Have the police considered looking for street camera footage of these predators? Certainly, there must be footage of this man's long ordeal? These predators will only escalate their bad behavior and find other victims.

Slog Police Beat.

Discuss.

Perhaps Charles' longest and most desperate stretch at hyping a story that falls far short of matching the sensationalism of the headline - a silly story and poorly written at that. This is the new Slog in which nothing every happens.

I'll be fascinated to hear Charles' fedora/hate crime connection.

I guess we're not going to talk about the wisdom of going for a "walk" at 3 in the morning in Lake City?

@11 - I've found that bad things are more likely to occur if you're outnabout at 3 am than at 3 pm. Funny, huh?
13
@11: Pioneer Square perhaps. But it is surprising up in Lake City. And remember, criminals don't rule the night. Citizens should feel free to get some exercise 24/7 everywhere.

Nothing good happens after Midnight. Make a note of that.

@14 You may be thinking of Gremlins.

@11: Not that any part of Lake City is a good place for a 3am stroll, but that portion of the neighborhood is particularly iffy. I'm sorry, but going out in that area at that time...wearing a fucking fedora!...seriously makes me question the dude's intelligence/judgment.

Anywhere from 135th to 145th west of Lake City Way is not safe even at 3 PM.

If he was wearing a fedora he probably deserved it

Sounds like a really tough situation. I'm glad I wasn't there.

If I had a gun in that situation, there's a definite chance I'd have used it. And that would have been bad for everybody involved. Having said that, I try to avoid situations like that and stay the hell away from violence.

I still can't help but to think that if Fedora Man were getting the shit kicked out of him by thugs and he pulled a piece and started shooting, Chuck Mudede and the SLOG would be the first to vilify him.

@11 someday, when you are the victim of a violent crime, remember you too could have avoided it, if only you had chosen to be somewhere else. Really, you were asking for it.

I can't believe I just read 5 pages of police report describing how suspects beat on a man wearing a fedora after they followed him for 5 blocks, past a 7-11 clerk and a random person at a bus stop, and none of them were able to provide a description that was entered into record for any of the individuals.

It's almost like Harvey (because they missed it once) didn't want to provide any description of the people who robbed him of $1 (only one suspect is referred to, but they use pronouns like there are more than one).
23
Charles continues to not be funny. Violence is never funny.

Must be a slow news day for SLOG.

Please wait...
