Boycott Hamburger Marys in Sac!!!

Got this from friend. Punks! Please support and repost everywhere!

Last night, 12/06/06 at 10:00 p.m., my good friend and co-worker Evelyn Mendez and I were walking from the Piano Bar (J & 16th Streets) to my car in hopes to go home from a nice day to evening agency Holiday celebration. En route to my car parked in front of the Streets of London (J & 18th Streets), a man (or lack there of) accosted both Evelyn and I in front of Hamburger Mary's (J & 16th Streets). As we passed him and his 2 friends, he called us "Whores, whores, everyone whores!" Both Evelyn and ignored him and kept walking. However, he increasingly got aggressive and continued to call us and yell "whores," even when we already clearly crossed the street, about 1/2 a block away from him. He did not stop and continued to shout to us "whores, whores!"

Well,
as we all know, I am NO PUNK BITCH to get disrespected in any way. And yes my Cardenas temper came out instinctively. I turned around and said, "What MF?" Amongst a whole slew of profane names and I walked back toward him. He started to taunt me and call us "stupid ignorant bitches!" I exchanged more words by saying, "You don't disrespect women that way." Then, he swung at me and I ducked and punched him in his left eye (and by the way his hat flung off of him when I socked him!) At this point, his 2 friends walked away, one of which was a male and didn't even stop his friend from hitting females. Then Evelyn jumped in and he grabbed her and threw her to the ground. I grabbed him back and he swung at me again (and missed). Then 2 of our other co-workers were walking to their car and saw what was going on and jumped in. Our male co-worker grabbed this guy pushed him against the wall and told him, "you don't hit
women with closed fist!" Evelyn and I got in a few more licks at this point. Then some how he broke free but I grabbed him by his shirt that ripped and he ran into Hamburger Mary's. The owner of Hamburger Mary's locked the door, shut off the lights and put the closed sign up. We called the cops and 5 minutes later, the owner came outside and said he called the cops and we should go away. I told the owner, "if he is a patron to your business and he's drunk, you have a legal responsibility to him." He clearly was not hearing our story and concealed the punk bitch inside. The cops (SAC PD) finally came and talked to all parties individually and basically stated that it's our word against his and that we can file a citizens arrests, we all go to court and the judge may dismiss it. Basically, the cops (SAC PD) stated it was a hopeless cause. At this point, most of our co-workers were outside looking for this guy. The cops had to escort the punk out of Hamburger Mary's to a cab to leave.

I am outraged by the mere fact that Hamburger Mary's allowed a man to assault women in front of their establishment and then conceal him. And most importantly take no responsibility. Clearly there are more details and underlying reasons as to why both the cops and Hamburger Mary's would not help us. I believe that the owner knew the cops and is the same reason why the cops were so quick to dismiss our story. Both Evelyn and I have no recourse or feel nothing but injustice from a once respectable establishment and the authorities.

I ask you please to do one simple thing so that both Evelyn and I feel some justice has been served. BOYCOTT Hamburger Mary's! It blows
my mind that an establishment owned by a man of the gay community (a minority group) would allow violence onto another minority group of that women. Please pass this email to all your friends in Sacramento. I really appreciate it! THANK YOU!
