Some local subreddits have also been discussing this since it happened, and people have been outlining who Dimitry Yakoushkin is. The verdict is he's the usual kind of radical activist you do not want anywhere near your cause because they're so insanely off-putting. I'd never heard of this person before.

He's a Chan supporter. He actually retweeted, "Connie Chan didn't get kicked out of the trans march!" You almost have to admire the crazy audacity of it. "My candidate didn't get kicked out the trans march! . . . (because I was busy grabbing some friends and harassing her opponent out of it)"

I have been heartened by the overwhelming response to all this so far, which generally runs, "San Francisco is tired of these people." That's right. You take that shit to Oakland as God intended.
