Protesters will be gathering Today, Thursday March 25 at 12pm at 2100 Bridgeway, at the front gate of the Army Corps Engineers, to demand the firing of the attacker.

I have filed a police complaint against, Marty has  filed against him for the attack and the Sausalito Police Department has opened an investigation. See attached Statement Form.

The assault was spurred when I interceded to stop the boat from being destroyed. The Harbormaster of the Richardson Bay Regional Agency was destroying the home of the deceased Diane Moyer who died on Sunday, whose late husband  was the famed photographer Larry Moyer. The next of kin was in the process of releasing the boat to beloved friends. By pulling up the boat the ramp, he was irreparably damaging the boat due to the process of how barges are, according to Louis Tenwinkle who has worked on Diane’s boat many times to fix the hull: https://www.facebook.com/100001405833876/d=n
