Check out the slide show with the story. Yuck.

[Argus]

Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who represents the Castro

Well at least he/she isn't named Albus Dumbledore.

[Dysart]

[jiggyboy]

a confrontation between two groups of young people erupted into gunfire

"two groups of young people"...how quaint.

[Past Your Eyes]

There’s so many freaks of nature in that place on any given day, how would Halloween be much different?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

The gay PUMPkin parade gets cancelled?....T.S.!

[Responsibility2nd]

San Fransicko had a Halloween Steet Party?

Jeesh!!!

What with Miller Beer’s Folsom Steet Fair as perverted as that is.....

I can only imagine the twisted depths of depravity that would happen on Halloween.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Just following their master’s lead, Russia.

[RexBeach]

“Please don’t come”?

Good Lord, you simply cannot write stuff like this.

[Obadiah]

Last year, nine revelers were shot when a confrontation between two groups of young people erupted into gunfire...

Oh, those poor misunderstood illegal gangmembers young people. I wonder what the root causes are of their cries for help?

[airborne]

The freaks will not be denied.

I bet the parade will go on.

[lowbridge]

the root causes are of their cries for help?

Well, root cause number 1 they live in San Francisco.

Root cause number two, they live in San Francisco....

[meandog]

I once saw someone dressed like a bar of soap in one of these parades. I suppose it was to focus attention on the need to clean up things. But a “bar of soap”? Wonder what would happen if the person wearing it was somehow dropped?

[RichInOC]

“I wonder what the root causes are of their cries for help?”

Sand in the lube?

[lormand]

Who woulda thought that promoting weirdness, abnormal behavior and total loss of inhibitions and self control would attract trouble makers?

Shocking, just shocking.

[GSWarrior]

It is estimated that only 8 percent of the San Francisco population is homosexual. Most of the people who attend this Halloween celebration are from outside of San Francisco....it draws a lot of gang and thug elements.

[sionnsar]

On Tuesday, she could hear loudspeakers and sirens, part of the city's emergency notification system, being tested from her home.

They were testing it from her home?

[TNCMAXQ]

I guess certain kids will have to skip trick or treating in Long Beach CA this year too. You might recall it was a year ago that some teen girls were attacked just because of their race. The national media managed to conveniently ignore this though.

[Tenacious 1]

Trust me, I’ve been there (ONCE!). The castro is scary enough on any given weekend. But on Holloween?

You’d have to see it to believe it.

[Unam Sanctam]

I get the idea from reports out of SF that every day is Halloween there. They probably won’t be able to tell the difference if it’s canceled.
