| HOMELESS IN PACIFICAA recent San Mateo County human services agency survey reports that Pacifica has 150 homeless people, but I suspect the number is probably higher due to non-responders and others who fall through the statistical cracks. |

Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker: Why did we love him?
|
22.5.2013 |
Washington Post |
| The odd, feverish journey of Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker skidded to an abrupt stop last week when his Internet-ordained nickname suddenly became too appropriate. The man, made famous four months ago for using a hatchet to rescue a woman from a would-be attacker, was arrested Thursday on charges of murder : A New Jersey lawyer, apparently one of the many strangers who had reached out to Kai after his rise to celebrity, was found dead of blunt-force trauma, and Kai was arrested a few days later.
