Sam Spade's San Francisco

The Anti-Defamation League is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for new information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of an anti-Semitic hate crime.

According to police reports, on Oct. 15, 2005, Cameron Matthews and Josh Feinerman were brutally beaten outside a San Francisco pizza parlor. A witness stated that Matthews and Feinerman became targets after Feinerman responded to one of the assailants who had been making anti-Semitic comments. A passing police officer apprehended Andrew Crawford in the act of kicking an already unconscious Feinerman in the head. Crawford is now awaiting trial. His alleged accomplices have not been identified. The Anti-Defamation League has been working with the victims' families in pursuing hate crime charges against those responsible.

The ADL is now enlisting the help of the media in locating anyone who might have new information about this horrific crime. The distribution of ADL's reward will be handled by the Police Department which will evaluate the information it receives and determine who will collect the $5,000 or a portion thereof.

"A hate crime is not a crime against one person, but against a community," said Regional Director, Jonathan Bernstein. "We all must stand up to let the perpetrators know that we will stand together as a community against hate and violence."

If you have any information about the assault, contact Inspector Julian Hill with the San Francisco Police Department at , or if you wish to remain anonymous you can call twenty-four hours a day.

San Francisco is big enough to welcome, accept and embrace people of every race, ethnicity, nationality and gender identification, but San Francisco will never be big enough for vermin like the four cowards who came to our city and decided to express their blind raging hatred by sending two San Francisco men to the hospital.

Let's send a powerful and emphatic message to the hate-cowards of the world:


As for you, Andrew Crawford, after you serve your jail time, get the hell out of San Francisco and go back home to San Diego ... and stay there.
