10:19 a.m. -- In a protest aimed at shutting down the Pacific Stock Exchange, hundreds of anti-war protesters gathered in downtown San Francisco this morning, blocking streets and snarling traffic.
The demonstrators failed to close the exchange. "We had absolutely no disruptions to trading," said stock exchange spokesman John Werts.

Hippies Protest. Nobody notices.

Sister Bernie Galvan of the group Religious Witness for the Homeless, and Father Louis Vitale of St. Boniface Church. I have to assume that every homeless person in the Bay Area is now sheltered and well cared for, and that every last parishioner of St. Boniface is in a state of grace and has been fully and intensively instructed in the Scriptures and the Catechism.
Otherwise, how could Sister Bernie and Father Lou have enough spare time to take part in a disruptive street protest?

San Francisco resident Nathaniel Holden, 27, is part of a group called ActAgainstWar.org, and said his group plans to continue to protest, and has already decided on a contingency plan should the federal government officially declare war. The group will attempt to halt business the day following a formal announcement so that "it won't be business as usual,'' he said. Because everyone knows that shutting down the economy will stop war. It's scientific.

Demonstrators continue to stand with locked arms at the gates of the Mills Building, located on Montgomery Street, and according to police will most likely be arrested if they fail to move from the site.What a pathetic joke.

If they are blocking roads, why not just run them over?
"Gee officer, I wasn't looking for people sitting in the middle of the road because who would expect anyone to do anything so foolish?"

Protestors also include members of a brass band called Brass Liberation Orchestra ...well now...I'd have thought most of these Commie-Kalipornicator types played the skin flute at these
peaceful protests riots.
Stay Safe !

First there is the faint scent of patchouli then I hear the chuffing sound of marching Birkenstocks on Market Street. The swoosh of goose-stepping bell bottoms. Then the chilling chant, 'KOOM BYE YAH!!"...my horror is complete.

I have to assume that every homeless person in the Bay Area is now
sheltered and well cared for presented to the media as a symbol of the evil inherent in the Capitalistic, Warmongering U.S. society, and that every last parishioner of St. Boniface is in a state of
grace misguided darkness and has been fully and intensively instructed in the Scriptures according to Marx and the Catechism of the Hard Core Left.
There, that's about how I remember the world's largest open air insane asylum.

"The purpose of today's protest is to stop the money that's going to war,'' Holden said. Since the protesters are out there during business hours, I am going to assume that a good percentage of them don't have jobs. Who are they to be making decisions where this "money" belongs?

Ahhhh, I see you know the Ga, er, Bay Area well...

These commy/Pro Saddam suckers have zero brains.
The Pacific Stock Exchange employees are at work at about 3 to 4 am each morning west coast time. Trying to close the PSE at 10 am is like getting behind of a train after it has left the station and is doing 100 MPH in the opposite direction.
We have the same renta mob that has been protesting since the 1960-70-s. When they OD from drugs, they replace them with another worthless hippy. Protesting is a cottage industry in San Francisco.
