San Francisco drops case against transient who bashed ex-fire commish with crowbar, says it was ‘self-defense’

San Francisco prosecutors have decided not to charge the transient accused of repeatedly bashing the city’s former fire commissioner in the skull with a crowbar — even after obtaining video of the man taking practice swings moments before the attack.

The district attorney’s office dropped the case against Don Carmignani’s alleged assailant, Garrett Doty, after deciding the homeless man was acting in “self-defense,” sources close to Carmignani told The Post Tuesday night.

Prosecutors heeded Doty’s arguments and ruled that the attack was not senseless — they said Carmignani instead instigated the vicious assault after deploying pepper spray on the homeless man, who lived outside his mother’s property in the city’s affluent Marina District.

“We live in a city where both the mayor and the DA are elected. Their re-election is very much tied to public perception of crime and safety. Therefore, they have a vested interest in changing the narrative to make it appear that crime is not random,” the source said. 

“The city should stop politicizing public safety and instead focus on doing their job of making San Francisco a safe and livable city for everyone,” they added.
