(10 arrests - Cindy was there)

I guess there weren't enough cameras present for Cindy to engage in civil disobedience...

Yeas, here is little St. Helens we had about 20 kids cutting school for this crap. Only about a 1/2 block from the High School. The police came, no one was arrested. Their signs were classic. Written with a narrow sharpie pen and nearly illegible read the words, Honk if you think Bush is Stupid. Hmmnnnnn... something of thatmessage was lost just because of the penmanship! LOL I showed them my "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" Bumper sticker, and went and bought them some Kool-Aide packets. they were gone before I could deliver them though... Bummer, they must have been running really really low...

2k, that's all they can bring these days?

there are 2k homeless within a 5 block radius in some parts of SF

[AmericanChef]

Why do they need a special rally for that in a place like San Fran?

[Old Grumpy]

I must be confused. I thought she was going to have herself tied to the fence in front of the White House. Did she get untied?

Organizers insisted this "The World Can't Wait: Drive Out the Bush Regime" event was only the beginning of a national, ongoing movement that won't rest until the president leaves office.

You. Lost. Get used to it.

"event was only the beginning of a national, ongoing movement that won't rest until the president leaves office."


They will rant and rave and then claim victory in '09.

Someone threw a crude firebomb against a wall of the San Francisco Chronicle building at Fifth and Mission streets, causing no damage or injuries but burning the shoulder of a police officer's jacket.

The author describes this violent, terroristic act as if it were no big deal.

Someone threw a firebomb at a cop and could have killed them. That's attempted murder.

"He's trying to steal our humanity?" How in hell is the president doing that?

God, this woman is such a putz.

Cindy flys from coast to coast hunting cameras. She can't get a headline to maintain the cost of her attempts at news. Her funds should dry up soon.

[Eva]

And you won't find a single mention of the fact that these international peace groups who sponsor the protests were named in the Volker report as being on Saddam's pay role in the oil for food scandal.

Though the majority of San Francisco protesters were peaceful, there were a few incidents.

Throwing a Molotov cocktail that burns a policeman's clothing doesn't seem very 'peaceful' to me.....that what the 'youths' (Muslims) are doing in Paris!

Had my hopes up there for a second.

Only 2,000? Really need to check those numbers. Truth be known it's about 200.

[concerned about politics]

About 2,000 people rallied and marched Wednesday to urge President Bush's ouster from office.

And no one cared. The only place I'm hearing about this is....here!

The long haired, maggot infested, dope smoking hippie '60's anti-war movement is definitely suffering from rigor mortis! Even their leader, whats-his-name who ran against Bush in 2004, looks like an undertaker!!

[Moral Hazard]

I had no idea these people loved Dick Cheney so much.

[GSWarrior]

Yesterday was supposed to be some kind of national convergence against Bush where the unemployed stay home from work and the uneducated stay home from school...or something like that.

San Francisco Report

There were 3-4,000 people at the count at the Civic Center rally. 2,000 people at the beginning of the march. There was major participation by high school students. At least 15 high schools participated - not just Berkeley and San Francisco, but also Union City, Lafayette, and other areas. Some schools authorities said students could go, but at schools like Oakland High and Oakland Tech, students had to climb fences to get out. 200 or more Berkeley High students came, along with UC Berkeley students.

The march was very high energy and militant. At the end part of march down Market St (the main street through San Francisco), police lined both sides of the street to keep people from joining. Hundreds joined the march anyway, but probably many more would have without the heavy police presence that made the march look like an “illegal” march.

The rally had speakers from the San Francisco Labor Council, politicians from the Board of Supervisors, the head of the San Francisco Public Defender's office (and elected position in San Francisco). A statement from the Revolutionary Communist Party was read, and a taped message from Mumia Abu Jamal was played. There were speakers from Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, Code Pink. The high point was Cindy Sheehan's speech.

Workers from the Mission District were part of the protest. There was a World Can't Wait event with day laborers in Mission on the “Dia de los Muertos” theme. The head of the day laborers' organization spoke at the rally. People are really seeing that their future is at stake. There is a desire to continue to protest, feeling that they just can't be quiet while all this is going on, need to find truth, and responsibility of young people to do that. A student from Oakland High who came talked about having relatives in New Orleans. Bush didn't do anything for them. He was angry that school principal tells kids to join the Army, that it's an honorable thing to do, but wouldn't let them join the protest.
