Here's the first of an amazing series of photos, audio and video files taken at the San Francisco Anarchist Bookfair by "Zombie". The entire series can be seen here.

WARNING: Several of the images and files on the page -- especially the sixth image from the top -- are highly work-unfriendly, and might disturb Freepers not used to the open-air freak show that is San Francisco "alternative culture." Proceed with caution!

If and when a wall is built to keep out illegal immigrants from Messico, I suggest that it also be built along the entire border of Kalifornia. What a truely sick and depraved bunch of psychopaths.

These people are completely deranged.

I am pretty tolerant of whatever people want to do to themselves, as long as they don't bother anyone else. Paint their hair, poke holes in their face, blow up their sack with salt water, whatever. I think they are stupid, disgusting and sad, but...if they want to, it is a free country.

However, this anachist business is different. They should be rounded up and deported to Antarctica, where they don't have to worry about jobs and society that might impede them. And the people who preach and foster this should be the first to go.

I am all for free speech, but in the framework of societal norms and laws. If it seems like I am contradicting myself by this stand, it is the concept of self-defense that impels it. I stand with the values of civilization and society, they stand against it, and the two cannot co-exist.

Churchill looks like a tranny.

This woman, for example, had demonstrated her disdain for "heteronormative beauty standards" by shaving her head and permanently tattooing a mustache on her upper lip.

And I thought it was a chocolate milk mustache. How naive of me to think that someone would intentionally do that to themselves.

Beyond the obviously compelling pics of the scrotal inflation, my favorite was this:

You just gotta love pictures of chinese girls defending abortion, since they are going to become an endangered species soon as they are sex selected out of existance.

Ah, yes. Anarchists standing in line to buy groovy T-shirts, books, and CDs. It's hilarious in a way I'm sure they can't comprehend. I'd love to go to a book fair like this with a few conservative friends and just point and laugh. What fun it would be!

Note for the curious: yes, his scrotum is the size of a cantaloupe; he's a regular at San Francisco anti-war protests who's a fan of a procedure called "scrotal inflation" in which the testicular sac is infused with saline solution until it almost bursts.

Nah...no. He didn't. People don't do that. Not with their fellas. I feel sick now.

Needless to say, it is a much sexier picture with the high capacity drum magazine!

MY FAVORITE Parts:

"Outside, a trio of exhibitionists prepared a message of peace.

"The crowd entertained itself with games such as "Pin the Molotov on the Cop Car."

"It's impossible to summarize in any succinct way the wide variety of personal and political viewpoints on display at the event. As long as it was extreme, it was OK. This woman, for example, had demonstrated her disdain for "heteronormative beauty standards" by shaving her head and permanently tattooing a mustache on her upper lip. "
