Acquitted on all 13 counts of vandalism, jury says Jeff Olson should be free
But the City Atty and Council can't even discuss it in closed session, because Goldy is punishing Filner by cancelling all closed sessions untill Bob kisses Goldy's butt and apologizes.— July 1, 2013 9:54 p.m.
Is it the mess or the message? City Attorney has been selective when prosecuting chalk vandalism
Over at the UT, MTH has finally done the honorable thing and has given credit to Dorian Hargrove and *The Reader* for first reporting the chalk prosecution story. Thank you MTH, for compensating for the less honorable UT employee who failed to credit Mr. Hargrove for original investigative journalism.— June 30, 2013 7:19 p.m.
The current Sunroad blowup shows rank hypocrisy
I think you're correct, except for Filner doing anything "reproachable." When people who want to bring down a government leader are embedded in the City government as long-time staff, and are also operating outside of government and with it, in concert with insiders or not, and the job and responsibilities are complex, there will be many wounds. The worst thing is the relentless attempt to categorize Filner as emotionally unstable, bizarre, etc. His enemies, in every skirmish, whether they win one or not, always fall back on such accusations, thus claiming a win every time. It's the same game played at the Federal level in the House by Boehner/McConnell et al.. Constant provocation ought to elicit outrage; that Filner fights back hard is a strength that is respected in many quarters, including my quarter. But if enemies want to proclaim that push-back equates to craziness and instability, and citizens who don't read the fine print accept that assessment at face value, what can Filner do? It's easy to say that Filner should just outsmart his enemies, but it's not always possible. And, he was born with the personality he has. He may not be able to find the right intermediaries in San Diego, because they jdon't exist here. That said, he has done many good things for many people in his political career and I am happy that he is here, trying to help the citizens of San Diego.— June 30, 2013 5:30 p.m.
Judge issues gag order in case of man prosecuted for scribbling anti-bank messages in chalk
Wow, great reporting, Dorian Hargrove! Sen. Warren, my hero, commenting is a huge compliment. I'm proud to have voted for Mayor Bob, who is so "irresponsible" that he points out the ridiculous in San Diego. May he continue to be irresponsible in this way - he isn't likely to run out of issues that inspire him to be so. I believe the "irresponsible" memo was sent to Councilman Todd Gloria, not to the media. In any case, can Judge Shore issue a gag order to shut down communications between City officials? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jun/2…— June 27, 2013 4:56 p.m.
Jurors selected, trial begins in case of anti-bank protester
Yes, SurfP! Perfect timing, with Mayor Filner's budget cut to CA's office and the failure of Todd Gloria to force a reinstatement. Just perfect.— June 27, 2013 10:53 a.m.
Little Italy Festa announces theme for 2013 chalk festival: "City Attorney Goldsmith is a ______."
Love it. I'll be there, though I find LI to be an over-hyped grungy place with little to offer now that Anthology is closed.— June 27, 2013 10:48 a.m.

Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
Do you think it makes a difference in this case that Olson wasn't arrested at the time of the chalking? (At least I don't think he was - maybe I missed something).— June 26, 2013 9:22 a.m.
