Root Of All Evil?

This is an odd coincidence: Pizza and violence have been linked twice in the news today. First, there was the disturbing story of the pizza delivery man who was shot and killed in Richmond last night as he looked for an address.

Then, and this is where the rest of the world looks at San Francisco and then kind of mumbles as it plays in the dirt with its collective toe, a story broke in the Examiner about city officials toying with the idea of banning late-night pizza sales in North Beach in order to curb drunken violence. What, is it opposite day? From the Ex:

Closing the parlors at 2 a.m. or earlier could curb violence and public drunkenness and reduce litter from pizza boxes and plates, Central Station police Capt. James Dudley told commissioners at the meeting. Dudley said earlier club closing times could also help solve problems in the area.“Cable Car Pizza allows people to congregate up to 3 or 4 o’clock,” Dudley told commissioners. “I’m tasked to manage the crowd, which is sometimes 30, 40 or more people.”
