SAN FRANCISCO -- The Golden Gate Bridge is open again to pedestrians and bikers after a hours-long closure earlier today.
Highway Patrol and San Francisco police officers closed the bridge after a small group of peace protesters tried to march across the span.
CodePink, an anti-war group, planned to walk across the bridge around noon today. The group, with members gathered at both ends of the bridge, was stopped by officers.
After about three hours, officials arrested CodePink leader Medea Benjamin and a handful of other protesters for trespassing.

This woman with CodePink was one of 10 protesters arrested at the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, Jan. 1, 2007. A rally to mark the 3,000 deaths of American military personnel in Iraq resulted in a shutdown of the Golden Gate Bridge to pedestrians and cyclists for hours

People wait to walk or cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge while it was closed to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Protesters from CodePink intended to hold a vigil on the bridge, causing a traffic snarl at Park Presidio and Doyle Drive. About 10 protesters were arrested.

I say let the officers go spend their time more effectively and let the stranded commuters throw these idiots off the damned bridge.

Could we get them to march in step to see if it would bring down the bridge?

I say let the officers go spend their time more effectively and let the stranded commuters throw these idiots off the damned bridge. That was my first thought as well. Let them be shark food.

Based on the images, I think that they should rename their group "Code Ugly".

A lot of people walk across or cycle through the Golden Gate Bridge on a regular basis. Some do it for the exercise, some for the photo opportunity, some because its the touristy thing to do.
I think that Code Pink ought to do this again, force the closure of Golden Gate Bridge to pedestrians and cyclists. That ought to really make the fence-sitters of the public go against Medea Benjamin and her moonbats.

Woman? OMG that's not Code Pink, that is Code Paper Bag! in triplicate!

That lady looks like Benjamin Franklin. Holy cow right up to the hairdo. My apologies, Mr. Franklin, for comparing your likeness to a liberal nutcase.

A face that even John Lennon could hate. But hey! She can hang with "the beautiful people" by going to these protests.
Check out the fat guy offering the cuffed Pinko a drink of water before they haul her @$$ off to jail. Funny stuff!
