Man
Kit Lam (pictured) telling a San Francisco Police Department officer on May 30, 2021
that signed petitions for a recall effort targeting three city school
board members were stolen from his table at a farmer’s market Kit
Lam is a denizen of San Francisco. He has just sued Jason Krutal, 32,
also of San Francisco. Lam alleges that Krutal stole petitions from him
during the (successful) school board recall drive last fall. Krutal
has entered a diversion program including community service and impulse
control therapy, plus a restitution order for Lam.
Lam
is asserting that his civil rights were violated as well as his right
to petition his government, along with theft of property. His
confrontation with Krutal was captured on video. Lam is further
asserting infliction of emotional distress, damages due to loss of work
and medical costs and a bunch of other shit. His lawyer asserts (of
course) that the suit isn't really about money but is about truth,
justice and the general nastiness of interfering with the democratic
process. Lam is an investigator for the S F Unified School District
It should be noted that after a hue and cry was raised Krutal returned the petitions to Lam.
