This reminds me of when ThumbSucker was car-jacked nearly two years ago. The afternoon of March 7, 2004, ThumbSucker was collecting his open house signs, following an open house in the Bernal Heights neighborhood.

In broad daylight, he was attacked. He put up a fight, but the assailant struck his face numerous times with a hammer. Ridiculous. The assailant pulled ThumbSucker out of the car. ThumbSucker held on to the car's door frame, but the assailant closed the door on his hands many times. ThumbSucker was dragged a half block, then passed out. The right side of ThumbSucker's face sagged for weeks. After surgery, his face is straight, and he has a metal plate embedded in his right cheek.

Crazy! What the hell is up with this city?
