Activist Issues 'Sixth and Final' Demand for San Francisco Standard Article Retraction

San Francisco, CA – Darren Stallcup, known online as "World Peace Movement" and the "Chinatown Cowboy," has issued a public letter to The San Francisco Standard, demanding for the sixth and final time the immediate removal of an article concerning the 2023 Pinecrest Diner incident. Stallcup asserts the piece contains "multiple falsehoods, misrepresentations and deliberately misleading details" that have severely damaged his reputation and personal safety.

According to Stallcup, the article has led to years of harassment, stalking, and physical confrontations, directly stemming from what he describes as biased reporting. He claims the publication chose to "mock and vilify" him due to his Republican affiliation in a predominantly Democrat city, ignoring his actions to protect the community.

The San Francisco Standard previously reported on the Pinecrest Diner incident in October 2023, describing Stallcup as a "vigilante" who intervened in an alleged $2 theft. The diner's owner, Sylvia Foundas, told The Standard that the "robber" was a homeless person who stole a small amount of tip money, and that Stallcup's subsequent demands for a free cheeseburger and his social media campaign against her business were "insane" and causing harassment to her employees.

Stallcup, however, maintains his account that he stopped a robbery involving a "fist full" of cash and that the article deliberately omitted crucial facts. He further claims two other significant interventions were ignored by The Standard: a second incident at the Pinecrest Diner where he performed a citizen's arrest on the same robber who allegedly assaulted a woman, and another at the Central Café in Union Square where he also stopped a robbery. He states these incidents have police documentation and video evidence, though independent public reporting of these specific events was not found in web searches.

Stallcup's letter emphasizes that the issue is not political disagreement but a matter of fact and journalistic integrity. He warns that if the article remains online, he will "have no choice but to pursue legal action" to protect himself and his family. The activist, who has previously appeared on Fox News, has gained a social media following for documenting urban issues in San Francisco.
