Son of SF Sausage Slinger Spotted at Jan. 6th Insurrection

Frank Peter Molinari Giorgi Jr., of SF’s Molinari & Sons, has been arrested for crimes related to the Jan. 6th insurrection. The FBI identified him through police bodycam footage and confirmed his flight to Baltimore from Oakland two days prior. The United States Attorney’s Office charged Giorgi Jr. with assaulting, resisting, and/or impeding officers and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder—felony charges—on top of several misdemeanors. The junior Giorgi was taken into custody at his San Francisco residence last Wednesday.

Jan. 6th rioters come from every corner of the US—including SF

San Francisco’s good liberal image is a thing of the past. As evidenced by SF’s tech-driven lean towards conservatism, politics at City Hall appear to be Democratic in name only. The City and County of San Francisco shifted 2.8% to the right in 2024. What we’re witnessing today are the consequences of allowing big business to influence local politics. Those companies left a literal void in the city when those businesses abandoned San Francisco in 2020. Even worse, the Big Tech grift left an ethical void, a breach of trust between the public and its representatives. 

“The public” means everyone: leftists, right-wingers, anarchists, libertarians, Trumpists and all. It also includes business owners, subjects of capitalism begging to become capitalists. Business owners tend to lean conservative because conservatism is in their interests as business owners. Lax labor laws, nixed worker protections, unlivable wages, zero health insurance—all will fatten an entrepreneur’s wallet. The less they pay you, the more they keep for themselves. People are human, and for some reason it seems in our nature to always want more. 

It’s not hard to imagine Frank Peter Molinari Giorgi Jr. thinking along those lines. The Jr. Giorgi stands to inherit his father Frank Giorgi’s company Molinari & Sons, which started Molinari’s Delicatessen in North Beach. 

Editor’s note: The current owners of Molinari’s Delicatessen purchased the restaurant from the Molinari family and are not related to them. Molinari & Sons stayed on as a supplier.

The Giorgi family owns Molinari & Sons, a mainstay San Francisco business since 1896. Per the ‘Our Story’ section of the company’s website, Giorgi Jr. began working at the Bayview business in 2006. 

How the FBI identified Giorgi Jr. 

Federal prosecutors positively ID’d Giorgi Jr. through police officer-worn bodycam footage. He’d swapped hats amid the brouhaha. In some images, Giorgi sports a red knit MAGA-looking cap; in others he wears a plain, bright yellow one. The FBI received a tip in 2023 corroborating Giorgi’s role in the Jan. 6th riots. 

It’s “See something, say something” on a national-threat level. Giorgi Jr. represents a new breed of domestic terrorist, a product of xenophobic programming and extremist views. My brother is a Trump supporter without the gabagool to storm the Capitol, but I’d sell him out in an instant if he had. (Don’t pity the guy, he’s a wifebeater and deadbeat dad living at our mom’s trailer in Missouri. Or do, I don’t care.) My point is, Trump supporters tend to comprise defeated personalities that use violence to get their way. It’s more shameful than any drug or closet could impose, and why I imagine Molinari & Sons was quick to shut down its ‘Our Story’ page.

Giorgi Jr., was Jan. 6th worth it?

I hate cops as much as the next faggy leftist. Hell, I can trace most of my family’s trauma to the drug bust that broke us apart. That said, you won’t see me doing anything as dumb as charging a cop—especially one wearing a video camera. Cops tackled and held loaded guns to my mom and dad’s heads over a few pounds of pot. If Giorgi were any color but white, chances are that man would’ve been killed. White, male privilege kept him alive. 

If you possess white male privilege, consider using your powers for good (love you, Luigi!). The irony jumps out when you compare Giorgi Jr. to someone like Luigi Mangione. For all of Giorgi Jr.’s efforts to take the Capitol, he and 2,500 others couldn’t trigger nearly the amount of change as one guy with a bike and a handgun. Work smarter, not harder. 

The United States Attorney’s Office says that, “more than 1,583 individuals have been charged” with crimes “related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol.” 

The investigation is ongoing.
