A., who asked to remain anonymous because he is concerned about his and his familys safety, told The Tribune he was at work at the Wells Fargo on Grand Avenue in Grover Beach, San Luis Obispo County, California the afternoon of Sept. 3 when a man walked in without a mask. A. said he approached the man and greeted him like I do every other client. A. asked the man to wear a mask if he was going to do business in the lobby.
He responded aggressively, A. told The Tribune in an interview Wednesday. A. offered one of the extra masks the bank keeps on hand for customers, to which the man became even more hostile and at one point began rooting through cabinets and drawers in the bank lobby. A. asked him to stop and warned he would call the police to remove the man from the property. Then he says, Well, you f----n sp--, said A., who is Hispanic. Hes like, Come outside. Then the man said, I better not catch you outside, A. said. Sort of famous last words.
A. said he didnt think much of the incident after the man left, chalking it up to heightened tensions around the countys mask mandate. But at the end of A.s shift around 5:30 p.m., the man showed up in the parking lot while A. was trying to get into his car, he said. The man grabbed him by the back and pushed him toward the small wall that lines the parking lot and began wailing on him, A. said. When A. looked back to the approaching police to point out his attacker, the man scaled a nearby fence and disappeared.
A.s wife, who initially contacted The Tribune regarding the incident, said her husband was in the emergency room after the attack with a concussion and lacerations to the head, hand and face. Grover Beach Police Chief John Peters said Our detectives are following up on some leads currently, so we will see if those pan out.

(81,386 posts)Soon after, the city of Pismo Beach launched an investigation into the incident, saying racism, violence and hate are not welcome in Pismo Beach. No arrests have since been announced in the case.

(29,026 posts)You can't even say that the failure to apprehend the Pismo Beach attackers is due to a lack of effort -- Maybe they've just not found them yet.

(386 posts)The attacked have caught on to how this thing works and can assert that this is racially motivated (as usual) Due to their own experiential knowledge.
No one is fooled by the mystery of how racism works in the country.

(32,626 posts)not every crime has video surveillance. I'm sure they're working very hard on something far more important.
whathehell
(29,026 posts)can be "very sure" of anything in regard to this case.

whathehell
(29,026 posts)Namely, you...In fact, you've just reposted it:
"I'm sure they're working on something much more important"
stillcool
(32,626 posts)I really don't know why I'm responding to this. It's kind of funny I guess. Maybe I'm just really bored, because really, who gives a shit?
whathehell
(29,026 posts)but by default,, it's still a.statement of "knowing", because you're speculating about the case in terms of it's comparable importance and it's
prioritization by a group of people you don't know...Just sayin'.

(29,026 posts)Maybe you could go down there and teach them how to do their job?..After all, even Keyboard Warriors must get sick of sitting on their fat asses eating and doing nothing but yelling at their screens.

(66,275 posts)As pointed out above, there must be camera footage of this hammerhead. Anyone thought to take a peek at it?
whathehell
(29,026 posts)and that, if they HAD done this, one week would necessarily result in a successful apprehension?

The bank manager said:
Ive been in banking for 22 years now, A. said. Folks often maybe disagree with some of the rules and policies and they make their statements to include threats and, you know, thats about it, and they never made good on it.
This was different, he said.
Its crazy, he added. The guy went home, he plotted, he laid in wait, he ambushed me. And he called me a sp--. Im thinking, Gosh, you know, he completely escalated on his own. He didnt like the idea of having to wear a mask.
