Man stabbed at North C & Ahern

KCRA reports that a man was found stabbed in the middle of the intersection of North C and Ahern streets at midnight last night, and that he was taken to the hospital. The location is where Loaves & Fishes warehouse / Welcoming Center is located.

There is no word as yet of the name of the man who was stabbed. Word from homeless fellows at Loaves & Fishes this morning is that the man died at UC Medical Center, and that there is quite a scene at the intersection with the police conducting preliminary investigations.  News reports do not confirm that the man is deceased; Fox's last report was that the man was in surgery as of 7:30am. But the reported gruesome nature of the crime [See Fox video below.] may be an indicator that there was little or no expectation that he could survive his wounds.

A “felony assault” team is investigating the incident, KCRA tells us.

Fox 40 has this information, taken in part from homeless persons who witnessed some of what happened:
Police believe two homeless men got in a fight, leaving one in the hospital and a gruesome crime scene in Downtown Sacramento Friday.

Investigators believe the suspect was a bald man and stabbed the 30-year-old victim multiple times near The Loaves and Fishes Homeless Shelter. Police found shoes, bloody clothes and the streets spotted with blood near the building.

They believe the suspect was also stabbed and went southbound after leaving the North C Street crime scene.
Of course, what Fox is calling a "Homeless Shelter" is notoriously NOT a homeless shelter, but the new multimillion-dollar admin office, warehouse and money-gathering center of Loaves & Fishes.

Yeah, the media and general public are about as concerned with Loaves n Fishes actual purpose as Kevin Johnson is with A Street. Nada. Zip!

Thanks for your comment, Ron.

After being a quick story by the two local TV stations on the morning after the bloody fight, there was no follow-up news on the tragedy.

I do wonder if the forces in the city that protect Loaves & Fishes determined it might scare people from delivering their donations and money to the L&F Administration.

Before I became homeless, I believed the police were always the good guys and the newspapers made a robust effort to get the truth of anything important out to the public. I was a complete rube.

Once I was blind, but now I see.

Sex, Lies and Exegesis

Definition: exegesis [ek-si-jee-sis]: critical explanation or interpretation of a text or portion of a text, especially of the Bible. Painting by He Qi , a prominent artist from China who focuses on Christian themes. This piece is inspired by The Song of Solomon. In his May 21 column, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof stirred up a hornets’ nest. His column wasn’t really a column, it was a quiz, titled “ Religion and Sex Quiz .” The questions and what he provided as the answers were provocative, to say the least. We would later learn, in his follow-up, a post to the Times online in the afternoon of the same day, “ Reader Comments on my Religion Quiz ,” that the information that was used to create the quiz came with the help of Bible scholars, “including Jennifer Knust, whose book inspired [the quiz], and … Mark Jordan of Harvard Divinity School.” Kristof doesn’t name Knust’s book, but a quick googling reveals that it must certainly be Unprotected Texts: The Bible’s...

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the ...

Loaves & Fishes implicates Buddhism and Jack Kornfield in its June Donations Plea.

The Sukhothai Traimit Golden Buddha was found in a clay-and-plaster overlaid buddha statue in 1959, after laying in wait for 500 years. It's huge and heavy: just under 10 feet tall and weighs 5 1/2 tons. At the beginning of their June newsletter , Loaves and Fishes relates a story, taken from the beginning of renowned Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield's 2008 book The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology . The first part and first chapter in Kornfield's book is "Part I: Who are you really?" and chapter 1 is called "Nobility: Our Original Goodness," which ought to serve as a clue to what the beginning of the book is about, not that that sentiment isn't strewn through-out the chapter, section and book such that what Kornfield is telling us should be crystal clear. Somehow, the not-ready-for-primetime management at Loaves & Fishes have managed to use Kornfield's wise and kindly words in a way that mangles th...
