When San Francisco resident Paul Pelosi, the husband of congressional House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was viciously attacked by a hammer-wielding assailant on October 28, 2022, his 9-1-1 call was answered by SF dispatcher Heather Grimes.

The details of that call and of Ms. Grimes’ intuitive action have been covered at length by local media – as it most deservedly should have been. According to comments attributed to Police Chief William Scott, her intuition and quick-thinking resulted in an immediate police response that quite probably saved Mr. Pelosi’s life. I don’t disagree.

What would you possibly have to do to have a $1 million dollar felony warrant issued for your arrest?
Well, in this case the warrant was issued for 2 individuals, 1 male, 1 female, who beat a person within an inch of his life.
The male suspect caused major lacerations to the victim knocking him defenseless on the ground, at which time the female suspect continued the assault by kicking the victim in the head.

This year-end article is somewhat daunting for me. It feels like 2022 went by with lightning speed. As I try to remember all the things that happened during the past year, I don’t want to miss any details. It has been a very eventful year in San Francisco.
