Oh yes oh yes, it’s time for that annual spree of navel-gazing in which we count down our biggest stories of the year, measured in traffic, comments, likes and tweets.
These are the stories that garnered the most attention, caused the most fuss, or tickled your collective funnybones the most in 2013.
We've reached the penultimate: here's story number two.
One night back in May, a woman was walking on McAllister near Divisadero around 10:15pm, when a car drove by spraying bullets. One bullet left a divot in the wall of a nearby building. Another traveled a block and punctured the wall of a man's apartment, lodging itself inside a book in his living room. A third bullet hit the female pedestrian in her torso. It pierced several organs, leaving her with injuries from which she has spent the past 7 months recovering. The shooting itself was shocking in its randomness, but it also generated some unexpected, lively discussions amongst our commenters about race, the police, and who can rightly claim the Divisadero area as their own.
