Greatings from the left Coast

And what a noble day it was here in San Francisco, sometimes known as "Willyville"

Willy was to busy, big "function" to attend..

Protesters according to a truck driver coming to our shop were "tagging" cars and in some instances pulling people out of them..

Radio reports were the high point. Seems some protesters were inducing themselves to vomit, while others were deficating on the street...

Bezerkly is in spring break. What a disappointment. Bezerkly always seems to do it with more panache..

Class act by all.

Like I was really surprised..

Evening Poop!  So glad I moved out of Austin; I bet the lunies were out there too.

How are ya Mr kng, ya stranger. I live about 18 miles south of Willyville on the coast. I can honestly say I haven't been to the City in four or five years..

Pass through on the freeway going somewhere else. The City is a perfect example of the end result of liberalism. Had a movement awhile back to pay the homeless minimum wage...

VERY noble..

If you don't mind stepping around the panhandlers and just plain comatose sidewalk obstructions..

Ahhhh the feelgoodaboutthemselveswhiles omeoneelsepays...

Gotta luv'um..

It's a continual sourse of amusment.

They never let me down :)

I don't go there any more.  Some nice things there but too much of a pain in the ass.  Voting with my dollars.
Saw the shots of the "nonviolent" protestors pulling people out of cars and beating them.  Here's hoping the governor authorizes use of force.

San Francisco had some of the largest anti-war activity, hobbling the morning commute. Thousands in roving bands temporarily took control of some downtown streets and closed several exits from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Smaller splinter groups broke windows, heaved debris into streets and occasionally scuffled with police. Some protesters hurled rocks at trains, briefly halting service at a station in nearby Oakland.

Police wearing helmets and carrying nightsticks made at least 350 arrests.

"We don't want to alienate people. I hope people realize that political murder merits action that inconveniences them," said protester Quinn Miller, who took the day off from his job for a banking company.




Yeah, inconvenience those who are totally responsible, the commuters riding the trains! Get 'em!

Good thing they didn't want to alienate anyone though.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Violent Anti-war protestors?!  Sounds like soccer hoodlums to me.
