ITS BEEN A ROUGH WEEK FOR JOCKS

By Bob Walsh


Ricky Pearsall Shot  

Ricky Pearsall was lifted into an ambulance by emergency workers  after he was shot near San Francisco's Union Square. 

 

Kara Welsh, a 21-year old athlete, was shot to death by an as yet unnamed 23 year old man in an apartment near the Whitewater campus of the University of Wisconsin on Friday.  The cops say that the shooter was known to Ms. Welsh.  The bad guy is currently in the slammer facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide.  

Ms. Welsh was an award winning college gymnast.  

Ricky Persall, a brand new player for the S. F. 49ers, was shot this weekend in a daylight robbery attempt in Union Square.  His shooter managed to also shoot himself in the process and was arrested promptly.  She shooter was a juvenile from Tracy who apparently traveled to S. F. from Tracy to "work" because the climate is much better for independent self-employed thieves in S. F. County.  

Persall was lucky compared to Welsh.  He was shot one time, a thru-and-thru in the chest, and was not kept in the hospital more than one day.  Nothing vital was hit and he may be back to playing in a month or so.  The mayor was really pissed.  I guess if you are a famous person they actually care if you get your ass shot in San Francisco.

By the way the S. F. shooter is being prosecuted as a minor, so he will essentially have no negative consequences for an act of attempted murder and armed robbery.
