NEW UPDATE: Roisin Isner of Tinkture searches for justice in July 4th bombing that left her missing a finger

Posted By Bill Gould, Publisher On December 7, 2007 @ 4:20 pm In Music, News | 2 Comments

UPDATE - San Fransisco, California - We were contacted by phone just a few minutes ago by E&^% %h*&, the San Fransisco musician named in the letter below. I was informed by him that there is more to this story, and he is now in fear for his life and that of his family because of him being named in this and other articles online. Based on what we were told by Mr. %h*&^, it would seem that tempers have flared out of control and there have been various threats to different people involved in this case.


Due to this being an ongoing police investigation, we have removed the names, phone numbers and email addresses that were in Chris Isner’s original email to our offices. We wish the best to all parties involved, and if you have addtional info or insight to this case, feel free to email us at info@fullvaluereview.com.

——————————-

San Fransisco, California - As readers might remember, we were the first news source to cover the story of Roisin Isner, the teenage drummer of the Bay Area rock band Tinkture who was injured by a CO2 bomb in Dolores Park on July 4th 2007. We just received an update from Roisin’s father, Chris Isner regarding the condition of her hand, the bands future and the arrest status of her assailant. This is exactly what was sent to us, and any statements in the article are the words of Chris Isner, not the Full Value REVIEW.

We have removed the phone number from the article, however I do encourage everyone to read this article and come forward with any information you might have that about this case and forward it to the San Fransisco Police Department ASAP at 415-575-4444, so justice can be served.

You can also reach Chris Isner at chrisisner@hotmail.com if you wish to speak with him personally. From everyone at the Full Value REVIEW, we wish the Isner family good luck and good health over the holiday and in the new year.

From Chris Isner -

“The good news is that, despite one missing and two non-functional fingers, Roisin and Tinkture are back and will tour this month. Check out [1] http://www.myspace.com/tinkture for details.

Also good news is we found out who maimed her. Turns out he is a gangbanger from Santa Monica who was throwing homemade bombs on July 4 (empty CO2 cartridges filled with explosives — little shrapnel-throwing hand grenades…a miracle no one was killed - go to youtube and search CO2 bomb to see the power of these things).

Unbelievably BAD NEWS is that the police have informed me that there will be no arrest made in the case, even though it is a bombing investigation, even though they know who it is, even though there are reliable witnesses. The problem, I believe, is that the police are in San Francisco and the bomber is in Los Angeles and it’s just too much trouble to properly investigate. So, the brass pulled the plug.

Here’s how we found out: I sent one email early july 5th and that email spread like wildfire through Myspace. A San Francisco musician sent my message out to his Myspace friends that day and soon got a response from a surfer who was on the beach in Malibu that day, July 5th, talking to some gangbangers he knew. One of these gangbangers told the story of being in San Francisco, in Dolores Park the night before, throwing bombs around and one landed too close to some girls. He described how they got in the car and headed back that night to “get the fuck out of Dodge” He said, “I hope I didn’t hurt her too bad”. Now, this was before the news media had gotten ahold of it and before millions of people knew about it via Myspace.

Unfortunatley, the surfer in question is too afraid of these guys to stand up, be a man and contact police and the SF musician refuses to name him. The musician, *^*c #*e& (formerly of the band P&@%$#^n F^&m), actually had the nerve to tell me that if he named his friend, he’ll “never be able to surf those points again”. Yes, he was worried about his LA surfing priviledges. What a worm! E*** *h** phone # is *15.7*6.8**8, email mo***&^%^&ot@yahoo.com

The gangbanger’s name is H^&*or *&^%&* s, aka “S*&^%^y”. He is a member of Santa Monica 13, Santa Monica’s only gang and a very small-fry group of thugs that was once a large gang but now barely survive as such…of course, who can afford to live in Santa Monica? He*&^r now lives with his mother in Malibu. What a tough guy. According to the SMPD, he’s a complete asshole with a long rap sheet who likes to get drunk and do incredibly stupid things, and then fight the cops. If you’d like a laugh, S&^%*y’s Myspace is http://www.myspace.com/bro*&^%$%^&an Apparently it’s common for criminals to have Myspace pages under their real name, full of uplifting spiritual jargon to show their parole officers…they then have another page showing who they really are - scum.

Witnesses claim that the bomber had long hair, while Sc&^%*&’s mugshots show him with a shaven head. SMPD confirm, however, that S*&^%&y had indeed grown his hair long. Roisin describes someone of S*&^%*’s exact appearance staring at her that evening, strutting shirtless and showing off to get her attention. She said, “Ewww, gross”, loud enough for him to here. Roisin and her friend then moved far away from that group of thugs. Minutes later the bomb ripped her apart. Coincidence?

It is my hope that somehow there wil be justice. Since the SF police and politicians are useless (about the only thing they did was follow up the leads I generated for them - I tracked down video of the attack, I tracked down witnesses, one of those witnesses found the steel bomb casing, etc.), it is my hope that if enough people know about this, then somehow my daughter will have justice. My only other alternative is to do something that will land me in prison. Needless to say, I would never forget it if someone were to help and I would be eternally grateful. And let’s not forget E^&# &h*^ and the surfer; their cowardice has allowed S&^%y to go unpunished.

Please repost this message far and wide.
Thank you.
Chris.”

Regardless of how unfair Mr. Isner believes his situation to be (regarding his search for the person who injured his daughter, and the sadly nonexistent investigation) it is completely unethical of Mr Isner to attack Eric in this posting, and to print Eric’s phone number/email address (non-public information) in a public forum that he requested be spread “far and wide.” Isner perhaps doesn’t realize that other people are not going to solve his problem for him, because he is probably not aware himself that his problem is: “I can’t protect my daughter from the universe and I am angry about that.” His vengeful bitterness is alarming. I’m sure Eric was trying to help. I know from experience how trying to help Mr. Isner can put one in his line of fire.

Everyone in Dolores [from the Spanish “dolor,” meaning “pain.” If this site needs a proofreader, I am available.] Park the night of July 4th, including myself, was heartbroken to hear of Roisin’s injury. I attended the benefit for Roisin at the Hemlock last summer (You’re welcome, Mr, Isner.), and found her to be an extremely intelligent, articulate, mature young woman with a very positive outlook on her injury and on victimization in general. It was refreshing to be able to speak to her, after maddeningly trying to help Mr. Isner figure out if a person who was harassing my group of friends in DP that night was the same person who injured his daughter. (Turns out it was someone else.)

Eric has been misquoted by Mr. Isner (Eric has said he doesn’t even surf!), and is being put in the position of having to defend himself unnecessarily. Mr. Isner would prefer that Eric testify/give a statement that he heard that his friend heard something a known criminal said six months ago on a beach in Santa Monica? I wouldn’t want to be involved either, if it were I. What an unfortunate way for Eric to learn that no good deed goes unpunished.

since july 4 I have dealt with far too many people who are unwilling to do what’s right. that’s the only thing I have asked of anyone. any lack of diplomacy is, perhaps, understandale.
&r*% is a spineless, lying worm and his refusal to cooperate stands in the way of justice. he continues to allow a dangerous criminal to remain free and unpunished. he is a self-absorbed coward.
