Something about a commentary on BeyondChron set off this response from a New College alumni
Career San Francisco housing activist Randy Shaw offers up the latest lame apology in defense of the indefensible Peter Gabel. Maybe Shaw should read the documents here before perpetuating the bogus myths generated by Gabel’s cult. Even if Shaw was half as savvy and ethical as he promotes himself to be, as a crusading alternative media editor you wouldn’t think he’d rush to the defense of a criminal cabal with a long track record of preying on innocent, idealistic youth.
Update:
Shaw has posted my response in the letters to the editor, and assures me he will look into the matter further.
my response: This is ironic because that last part “you wouldn’t think he’d rush to the defense of a criminal cabal with a long track record of preying on innocent, idealistic youth.”
this is exactly what I’ve seen in the 8 years Randy Shaws Tenderloin Housing Clinic has taken over my building.
You get young, idealistic, college recruits here to help the homeless. I’ve seen this so many times. They come in here and they really want to help the poor people of Shaw’s THC but because of Shaws own policies, after a couple of years they all get this lost far away look in their eyes, as if they’ve completely given up hope
Chew em up and spit em out
