Jew-hating San Francisco official accused of vile assault on woman as city struggles to oust him
A San Francisco official who’s already in trouble for antisemitic online rantings and allegedly abusive relationships with women faces even more explosive allegations that he gave drugs to a vulnerable woman and had sex with her.
William Monroe Palmer, the president of the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department Oversight Board who has been celebrated for his jail reform activism, still remains in his position despite growing calls from city officials for him to be removed.
In the latest incident, a young woman, 26, told the San Francisco Chronicle that she left her family’s home on June 30 with no money or cell phone after a dispute about her job at a strip club.

The woman, who has a history of involuntary psychiatric holds, was set to return home after spending two nights with a friend when she came upon some strangers in a public plaza and decided to smoke fentanyl with them.
That’s when Palmer allegedly spotted her, watching her from a red BMW convertible, the outlet reported. Palmer called her over and managed to get her inside the car, she said.
Horrific details unveiled in revenge stabbing of Fresno prosecutor outside court as suspect is identified
The man accused of stabbing a local prosecutor in broad daylight allegedly attacked him in retaliation for a previous case in which the prosecutor helped send him to prison.
Dustin Crawford, 42, allegedly approached his victim and others while they were outside Courthouse Park in Downtown Fresno shooting a campaign commercial Thursday afternoon.
Crawford stated he recognized the group, according to District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp.
Dustin Crawford, 42, of Fresno, faces charges of attempted murder and attempted murder of a public official after a revenge stabbing of a local prosecutor outside a courthouse.
Crawford then allegedly singled out his victim and stabbed him three times in the back, Smittcamp said.
Deputies assigned to the nearby courthouse raced outside after reports of the attack and rushed to help the local prosecutor, who was identified as a Fresno County employee.
Schanz, chief of staff to Democratic Assemblywoman Tina McKinnor, is now facing multiple formal HR complaints after he allegedly barged into an Aug. 19 sidewalk interview outside the California Capitol and launched a crude personal attack on independent journalist Nick Shirley.

According to KCRA, several complaints have been filed with the California Legislature’s HR department — and Schanz is expected to face consequences for his behavior.
Schanz earns $17,319 a month, or $207,828 a year, in taxpayer-funded compensation.
Yet while Shirley was doing his job outside the Capitol, Schanz allegedly turned up with a piece of paper that read:
“Allegedly Nick Shirley Has a Small Penis. Prove Me Wrong.”
Republicans have dubbed it the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”
“Did you guys hear that Nick Shirley has a small penis allegedly?” Schanz asked.
The spectacle came in the middle of a serious political debate.
Shirley was interviewing California politicians about Assembly Bill 2624, the “Privacy for immigration support services providers” bill, authored by Democratic Assemblywoman Mia Bonta.
The legislation calls for protections for immigrant-run businesses, including health care providers, from “online harassment” and doxxing.
Republicans have dubbed it the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”

Shirley has criticized the legislation, saying it was created after he “exposed widespread fraud in immigrant communities” in California and Minnesota.
The bill has passed the California Legislature and is now sitting on Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk.
Newsom has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto it.
The Senate passed the measure 30-10 along strict party lines.
Schanz’s Capitol sideshow is just the latest controversy surrounding the Democratic operative.
But Schanz’s Capitol sideshow is just the latest controversy surrounding the Democratic operative.
His name previously surfaced in a 2025 wrongful-termination lawsuit containing allegations of political bullying and a toxic workplace culture within top Assembly leadership.
Then, in January, his office faced scrutiny over allegations that it pressured nonprofit newsroom CalMatters to alter footage involving McKinnor after a reporter asked her a tough question about an expensive designer handbag.
As chairman of the Sacramento Democratic Party, Schanz has also faced accusations from local moderates and conservatives of aggressive political bullying and freezing out opponents.
Now he has managed to generate a fresh scandal with perhaps the least dignified political prop imaginable.
Keep these in mind as you contemplate the direction of the American government over the past 50 years and especially since the Obama election.
The Goals of Communism
(as read into the congressional record January 10, 1963, from "The Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
