SF mayor targets Mirkarimi

The San Fran Eliana Lopez Ross Mirkarimi saga continues:
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said Friday that he would find it "extremely difficult" to work again with Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi if the suspended lawman gets his job back.

Lee made his remarks while testifying before the city's Ethics Commission, which has convened a trial-like hearing to determine whether to recommend that the Board of Supervisors remove Mirkarimi from office.

The mayor cited Mirkarimi with misconduct and suspended him without pay in March, shortly after the sheriff pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment for bruising his wife's arm during a New Year's Eve dispute. ...

Mirkarimi took a plea deal and avoided trial two months after he pleaded not guilty to child endangerment and multiple domestic violence charges.

"I came to the conclusion that he committed domestic violence," Lee said, adding that Mirkarimi's brief stay in the jail he runs and subsequent plea helped him make his decision. ...

The neighbor, Ivory Madison, had recorded a video of a tearful Lopez discussing the purported abuse. She later gave the video to police. ...

Mirkarimi's woes began when he and Lopez became involved in an argument over whether she could travel to her native Venezuela with their 3-year-old son.

Mirkarimi admitted to bruising her arm with an overly firm grip. After pleading guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment, Mirkarimi was sentenced to probation and counseling.
So the mayor is trying to punish Mirkarimi for domestic violence, even tho there was no conviction for that.

These are all leftist Democrats. The Left is ideologically committed to destroying the family.

This is all over an arm bruise from a firm grip. And a busybody neighbor who took a picture of the bruise in order to instigate a child custody dispute. The incident was 6 months ago, and the husband and wife are court-ordered not to talk to each other.

Think about that> Mirkarimi and Lopez are a married couple with a small son. He has made no complaint against her and she has made no complaint against him. A neighbor disapproved of an argument that they had. So the authorities are out to destroy them by firing him from his elected job, ending the marriage, and sending her back to S. America. The boy will surely grow up without one of his parents.

This is from leftists who just spent $100 million on San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration, where they celebrate BDSM as if it were a religion. And also other stuff that is too perverted for me to put on this blog.

Imagine if the wife got the bruise while they were role-playing or doing some kinky bondage play. Or maybe even ordinary sexual intercourse. Would that be actionable?

Supposedly the New Year's fight was over Lopez taking the son to Venezuela. That is where they are now, since they are ordered to stay away from Mirkarimi.

Mirkarimi's Wikipedia page says:
Mirkarimi has been involved in these civic and community service activities: Director for SF Nuclear Freeze Zone Coalition; union negotiator for DAI Association union; member of the IFPTE Local 2; member of the Harvey Milk Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Democratic Club; member of the Iranian-American Chamber of Commerce; environmental analyst for the Harvard Study Team (Iraq) Bayview Hunters Point, California Base Closures; and member of the National Organization for Women (NOW).[78]
So he subscribes to a bunch of dopey leftist-feminist causes. Some people only learn the hard way.

Lopez is from Venezuela and Mirkarimi's family is from Iran. These are the two most anti-American countries on Earth. He lives in a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, and he is a leftist politician who has allied himself with every anti-family and anti-American cause. Lee's family is from mainland China.
"Don't you think the honorable thing to do would've been to resign?" Keith asked the sheriff.

Mirkarimi replied, "That's a hard question and that's a hard one to answer. ... I did exactly as I should."

Mirkarimi told the commission later that, in hindsight, he wishes he had a better strategy to deal with the media and subsequent fallout from his actions.

"It was an overwhelming event and continued to be an overwhelming event in the way I was branded," Mirkarimi said. "I was sad, humiliated. I lost my family," he said.

"My past was tarnished and sullied and my future uncertain. I certainly wished we were more on top of this."
This is pathetic. The honorable thing to do would have been to cancel his leftist-feminist memberships, repudiate his anti-family ideology, defend his right to grip his wife, and challenge Lee to a duel.

He had a "right to grip his wife" ?

I would advise a woman not to get married, if she is unhappy with her husband gripping her arm.

What woman would ever want to get married ?

BDSM is legal, domestic violence not. Whatever happened to rule of law?

George said...

I guess you are agreeing that their behavior would have been acceptable to the San Fran authorities if only it had been part of a perverted sex act.

Anonymous said...

yes, why should a legal act that you think is perverted should be the business of the ethics commission?

George said...

Glad we agree. To the San Francisco authorities and voters, a kinky BDSM sex act is probably the most ethical thing you could do.

Anonymous said...

George, you're talking about what's perverted ? Nothing peverted about a husband having a right to grip a wife's arm ?

We're not talking about a sex act, we're talking about forceful physical behvior. You get it.

"cancel his leftist-feminist memberships"

I thought you'd said that you "don't play the guilt by association game" ?

George said...

No, it is not perverted for a husband to grip his wife's arm. Nowhere outside of San Fran, anyway.

That's right, I don't play the guilt by association game. I do not blame Mirkarimi for the anti-Americans in Iran and Venezuela. But when a politician joins a political advocacy group and brags about it, then I infer that it is an expression of his political beliefs. He is free to say otherwise, of course.

per·vert·ed (p r-vûr t d). adj. 1. Deviating from what is considered right and correct.

So it's right or correct to grip a wife's arm ? Why ? What makes it right ? Is it rigt or correct for a wife to grip a husband's arm, too ?

If you don't blame Mirkarimi for the anti Americans in Iran and Venezuela, why did you bring up where he and his wife were from ? What was your point in mentioning it ? Some sort of guilt by association ?

George said...

No it is not perverted to grip the arm of a spouse, whether it be husband gripping wife or wife gripping husband.

The nationality adds cultural background. I don't blame Tom Cruise for all the nuttinesss of Scientology, but I mention it because it is relevant to his divorce.

defend his right to grip his wife, and challenge Lee to a duel.

What's your nationality. Do you come from a country where it's the right of a spouse to grip an arm, and disputes are solved with duels ?

George said...

Until this story, I never heard of anyone objecting to gripping a spouse's arm.

I come from a country where duels are illegal, but it still has duelists on its currency.

Mirkarimi admitted to bruising her arm with an overly firm grip

Did you ever hear of anyone objecting to being bruised by their spouse before this story ?

So do you favor legalizing duels again ? Why not challenge your family court opponents to a duel ?

George said...

A duel would make a lot more sense than the family court procedures in place.

Lopez (the wife) has not objected to the bruise. She was planning to use the picture as blackmail, but she denies that she needs any protection from her husband. The objection to the bruise came from her neighbor friend, the cops, the DA, the busybody feminists, and the mayor.

Anonymous said...

The family court procedures may make little sense, but a duel, huh ? Go ahead and challenge them to a duel as you suggest others do.

You might have been better off sticking to the facts regarding your family law case vs. helping the court personnel prove that you appear to be a right wing conspiracy lunatic type.

The result may have not been any different, but I don't think you've helped your kids or yourself any with these unsubstantiated assertions about Gays, Jews, Mexicans, Liberals Women, etc.

George said...

I stuck to the facts in court. But I guess you are saying that leftist gays and Jews read my blog and decided to punish my kids for my political opinions, and now you expect me to keep quiet about it.

Anonymous said...

No I don't think they are punishing you. I think that they robbed you of money and your kids.

Your unsubstantiated assertions just lend to their ability to discredit you and the validity of some of the facts tat you'd previously, presented.

"Stuck to the facts" ? What did the Gays and Jews involved say specifically, relating to their religion, or sexual orientation ? What did they say that confirms your notion that their actions are motivated by Judaism ? How are you certain that they are even Jewish ?

What are the "facts" that you stuck to ?

I don't expect you to keep quiet about anything. I also don't expect you to speak up about the facts regarding your assertions relating to their religion or sexual orientation, either.

George said...

I post facts. I quote what the court personnel said. I point out their failure to justify their conclusions. I offer possible motivations that you might consider speculative. For example, I suspect that motivations to oust Mirkarimi that go beyond his stated argument about Mirkarimi's ability to do his job. Do I have proof? I think that it is obvious, based on what I have posted. But go ahead and post your own theory, if you think that I am wrong.

Anonymous said...

Yeah right. Perlmutter has a German last name, so you concluded that he was Jewish. He lives an or works in Palo Alto, which is mostly, Non Jewish, so that proved that he was Jewish, too.

He said nothing about religion, or being Anti Christian, but you stated that you're certain that he's Jewish and Anti Christian.

You stated that he overcharged you, and no Christian would have charged you that much. Christians have charged more for evaluations, right ?

Think I'm wrong, check your blog. You didn't state that you speculated about these things. You stated them as facts.

And all I ever got was that he was a Jew who hates Christians and who will use his power to punish those he does not like.

It is unacceptable - and illegal - for ANYONE to grab and grip another human being so harshly that a bruise is formed. Especially if the recipient is smaller and/or unable to defend herself/himself from the perpetrator. This is in the United States of America, and it is now 2012. We are generally a humane nation. If a person gets injured from a fall and gets bruised, there is pain for some some after - the same goes for grabbing another's arm so hard that it gets injured. Barbara

George said...

Barbara, I guess you will want to arrest all those BDSM perverts in San Francisco.

George - let's stick to the facts. I never said I wanted to arrest BDSM people - that is their right to do what they want if they both agree (though I am adamantly against harming the human body and/or mind.) And, frankly, it is none of my business. I was speaking about the sheriff purposefully and harshly grabbing his wife's arm in a dispute, and injuring the arm.
BTW, the sheriff DID plead guilty to this.....Acc. to your post..."the sheriff pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment for bruising his wife's arm during a DISPUTE" (NOT BDSM). Furthermore, "Mirkarimi ADMITTED to bruising her arm with an overly firm grip." (stated in your post).
How can you say it is ok for a spouse to firmly grip and hold an arm so hard that it causes bruising? Would you please explain that further so maybe people can try to understand where you are coming from on this issue? Thank you in advance.....Barbara

Why bang your head against a wall asking George questions ? He's just bashing Gays and others and dodging any real questions relating to the actual isues.

George said...

Yes, Barbara, Mirkarimi was convicted in San Fran. because the bruising was NOT part of a perverted BDSM sex act. If it had been part of a perverted BDSM sex act, he would probably be a big hero to the LGBT community there.

I see the wife is now on the plane back from commie Venezuela to testify, so you will soon be able to get her story. I do not speak for her.

George said...

Anonymous, those quotes are from the news stories. They are correct as far as I know. You are also right that the incident did not involve a BDSM sex act. Mirkarimi would probably be a hero in San Fran if it were a BDSM sex act. The mayor is using the incident to get him fired. So the incident was not okay with the mayor. Maybe it would have been okay with him if it were part of a BDSM sex act. Click on the links to read the details.

Yes, the mayor is using the incident to get Mirkarimi fired. That was in all the news stories. It was not okay for Mirkarimi to grip his wife's arm, according to the mayor. Mirkarimi would have been much better off he either did not grip his wife, or if he gripped her as part of a BDSM sex act. In that sense, what he did was not okay. I think that I have spelled this out very clearly.

"defend his right to grip his wife, and challenge Lee to a duel."

Sure, first you say he should defend his right to grip his wife and challenge Lee to a duel over it.

Then you say it's not okay to grip his wife in the first place.

Then you claim you've spelled it out prett clearly...

It's okay, and a right, or not okay and something he should duel over ?

Please.. the double talk and backpeddling gets confusing.

George said...

Mirkarimi should defend himself. He is being run out of office by a backstabbing mayor who wants favors from a busybody feminist public. My opinion is not the same as the major, of course.

You dodged the question again. I guess you don't like the question being asked, so you don't answer it.
