A man walking home from an Encinitas bar early Friday was struck into unconsciousness by an unknown assailant who apparently used a miniature baseball bat, authorities said.
The man said he was walking home on North Coast Highway 101 around 1:30 a.m. when he felt two blows to his head, fell to the ground and passed out, according to San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. Richard George.

We need to ban all bats (even those weapons utilized by our little league gangs)!
ReplyDeleteBats?? We need to ban all walking. Clearly walking is the source of the problem.
DeleteWe need to ban night! All these things happen at night!
DeleteYou may think this funny, but as someone who knowingly brought a house downtown, I don't. I hope the attacker wasn't one of my neighbors.
ReplyDeleteBAN BATS, WALKING AND NIGHT!
North Coast Hwy 101 is in Leucadia!
DeleteYou are all batty. Or drunk from last night.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad that the peaceful downtown that we all once loved and cherished is becomming a center for public intoxication and crime! It used to be a lovely, quiet beach community, and now it is like 18th Century London where most people were drunk and debauched. Is this vibrant enough for you, City Council??
ReplyDeleteNo where in the report does it say anything about the persons involved being drunk or disorderly.
DeleteIrregardless idiots attract more idiots. Let the city council spend thur fri & sat night on second st with us and then they would get the full scope.
ReplyDeleteSays he was walking home from a bar...as well my first thought was he just dropped in for the pretzels. At 1:30am.
ReplyDeleteBefore you invest in a home or property next to a "downtown" area or commercially zoned district, make sure you do your homework about zoning and potential uses.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Common Sense~
And if you bought years ago not expecting to be governed by sell out council? This could be controlled and is heading for much worse ala PB.
ReplyDeleteIf you are not happy raise your pitch forks and torches at city hall and DEMAND city hall provide more police downtown. Do this night after night after night, until every council member hears and understands your problem. Of course another option would be to go to every council persons home and bang pots and pans until 10 pm every night. Then start again at 7 am each morning. Be a pain the ass of every council man and woman, make them hurt. Other than that.... Shut up!!!
ReplyDeleteOk keep the sheriff away from protecting their pension guardians and it could work.
ReplyDeleteDo other cities need to do this to be heard? Doubt it.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding, 3:12? The downtown issue is not new to the council, Vina, or Sabine. The best these three could give downtown residents was a bar owner-formed, self-policed task force and a blind eye to the fact that the "security" so proudly touted by the EHA consisted of one individual for the entire town. Woo-hoo.
ReplyDeleteHard to tell what would work on council at this point, as packed chambers at meetings haven't made a dent on the council. Perhaps residents need to hire a flamboyant attorney a la Marco to wave his arms and threaten expensive lawsuits...that's the language the city hears.
Sad to say, the revenue from that last drink, even if over-served, is one more dollar Vina and the council are eager for and they are not giving that up without a big fight. Or lawsuit.

ReplyDeleteJust open more churches downtown. You can't have an alcohol establishment within 500 ft of them. Unless you're Union I guess. Or maybe it's the other way around. You can't have a church within 500 feet of booze.
ReplyDeletePut the booze and the churches next door to one another and 500 feet away from residents.

DeleteWould you settle for trenching and covering booze and churches 50 ft?
DeleteGet your money together and start buying the offending establishments. Then you can turn them into second hand stores or some other nice place. We have no homeless shelters that would be a nice thing for the Union to become.
ReplyDeleteANYTHING would be better than the union!
DeleteBetter yet 5:44 why don't we save our money nand buy a council member or tow, and maybe Looby the rat state senators in Sacramento to rewrite zoning laws to protect community character not increase developer profits
DeleteThen put your money where your mouth is and BUY the Union and close it's doors. But don't forget to pay the rent, insurance and taxes for the next 20 years on the building.
DeleteDen of iniquity.
