Weston Wear isn't just going to be closed down for a week following the May Day Riots. No, The City felt it necessary to deliver one last “fuck you” to a business ransacked by savages by citing them for graffiti on their boarded up windows:
Way to support local business, dude.
UPDATE: CIty Hall gained a conscious and backed down.

Nice
The notice just means they have 30 days to clean the graffiti and then no problem.
The Tasteful Bureaucracy. Good name for a band..
Typical City Hall bullshit. They just want to hit them with a fine later on. They could give a shit about cleanliness.
DPW spokeswoman Gloria Chan called this “an isolated incident”
She’s lying.
Department of Public works has a number of taxpayer funded employees devoted solely to fining property and small business owners for the “crime “of having their property tagged.
“We had a citation warning taped up to the boards to have the graffiti removed within 30 days or we could be subject to fines”
This was DPW’s lightning fast response to the damage- these notices were issued the very next morning on each of the vandalized businesses, and is a prime example of Ed Lee’s take on funding- if someone slaps a sticker or paint on your property or small business YOU get fined.
The only reason these penalties were reversed was the attention and potential bad publicity. Several tax-payer funded employees from the Department of Public Works are roaming the city, adding financial injury to the insult of finding your property vandalized.
Ed Lee Gets It Done!
“It” = ripping off San Francisco taxpayers and small businesses.
