Good news is that depite one missing and two non-functional fingers, the 17 year old female drummer maimed by a thrown homemade bomb on July 4th in Dolores Park ( fullvaluereview.com/2007/07/...ser-look/ ) will be back on tour this month with the band Tinkture. see myspace.com/tinkture for dates. Oh, and it definitely was a bomb: police were led to an exploded steel CO2 cartridge at the scene. see youtube.com/watch
Also good news is that we found out who did it: piece of shit LA gangbanger, Hector Chicas aka "Scrappy", member of Santa Monica 13, a small group of lowlifes and the only gang left in Santa Monica.
Unbelievably bad news is that police have informed us that an arrest in the case is highly unlikely, even though it is officially a bombing investigation, even though they know who did it, even though there are reliable witnesses. Problem is the cops are in SF while the bomber is in LA and it's just too much trouble to properly investigate, so the SFPD brass pulled the plug on the investigation.
We learned of Scrappy's identity through an SF musician, Eric Shea, formerly of the band Parchman Farm. Eric does a weekly hotdog thing at the Casanova Lounge. Eric reposted an email about the incident on July 5th through myspace. A surfer friend of his in LA got back to him that day saying that some gangbangers he knows were on the beach in Malibu talking about it that day, july 5th. One of them, Hector Chicas, aka "Scrappy", told of how he was in Dolores Park the night before and was throwing bombs, how one came too close to some girls, how they headed back to LA that night to "get the fuck out of Dodge". Hector said, "I hope I didn't hurt her too bad." Witnesses claim that the assailant ran after the attack, only to come back soon after to set off more explosives and was seen laughing about the incident with his group of thugs. Witnesses describe a long-haired attacker while Scrappy's mugshots show him with a shaved head; Santa Monica PD confirm, however, that Scrappy had grown his hair long. SMPD also confirm that Scrappy lives with his mother in Malibu and is a complete asshole who gets drunk, does insane things and then fights the cops. Scrappy's myspace is myspace.com/bronzesuperman Apparently, criminals often have myspace pages under their real names filled with uplifting spiritual jargon to show their parole officers...they then have another page showing who they really are: scum.
Unfortunately, the surfer in question is unwilling to contact police and Eric Shea is unwilling to name him. Eric said that if he did name him, he would "never be able to surf those points again". His concern is his LA surfing priviledges! What a spineless, self-absorbed worm. Basically, Eric Shea is ensuring that Scrappy goes unpunished. Here is an email fron Eric to the drummer's father:
Chis, we can do two things now. 1.) I can alert my attorney Matt Gonzales about this and have Sergeant Carl Fabbri arrest you (months ago I filled out tons of paperwork about your harrassing me to help build the case should it come to this). 2.) I can succumb and give you the name that you keep harrassing me for, providing that you first take the libelous information down that you just posted up. I'd rather do the latter and keep everyone's holidays relatively happy. But that's up to you.
Can you believe it?? So far, Eric hasn't "succumbed". Perhaps the SF music community would like to tell Eric what they think of him: his phone number is 415.756.8448, email mondaynighthoot@yahoo.com, myspace profile.myspace.com/index.cfm
if you have any helpful info, please contact the drummer's father: chrisisner@hotmail.com and please repost this far and wide.
thanks.
