A band of demonstrators, many wearing black masks, stormed a bustling San Francisco mall Saturday evening, upending garbage cans and foliage and damaging crystal merchandise at one kiosk.

An estimated 50 to 75 people were involved in the disruption at Westfield San Francisco Centre, police said.

"It felt like random, vague anarchy," said Sam Cantrell, who sells sunglasses at a kiosk near the escalators on the street level where the protesters gathered.

"Everyone's yelling," he said. "Some people started running up the escalator the wrong way. People were grabbing their babies and running away in fear."

The disruption began around 6:30 p.m. as holiday shoppers crowded the mall on the last Saturday before Christmas.

Some protesters threw food, police said. Others tried to toss a large planter onto the food court below.

According to mall management, the protesters were part of a "Solidarity with Greek Uprising" demonstration, which began in the Mission District earlier in the afternoon. An international day of action was called on Saturday to protest the death of a young man in Greece in early December.

"Hey, San Fag is a sanctuary city. Let’s see how those stupid liberals like it. They’re the ones who allow foreigners who wear black masks to roam their streets. They should go demonstrate in front of Gavin’s house. Couldn’t happen to a more repulsive city!"

Those weren't foreigners, they were American anarchist dimwhitted suburban 'yutes'. European anarchists are out of control in Europe where its a festpool for breeding socialistic stupidity these idiots believe and their American 'brethren' have been known to pop up their empty heads in the USA now and then too:

Uh-huh. Leaving out the legal nit-picks about diminished capacity, you and I know just what he did, which is murder.

George Moscone was no saint.

Bruce Willis said it best. “Rich white college kids playing revolutionary”.

No politician ever is. The previous poster I was responding to felt a police officer assassinating an unarmed public official was not a bad thing and that Mascone was a minions of Satan, I felt compelled to disagree.

George Moscone, alongside Harvey Milk, assisted by Jimmie Jones and other such useful cultists, ushered in what is now the degenerated city of San Francisco. Moscone and Milk played as mean a game on politician and seat holder, Dan White, as was possible. I do wish Dan White hadn't shot them, tho. This very act ushered in Phase Two of the Movement into the Abyss for San Francisco, as the Harpies and Marxists were emboldened, as death cultists usually are, by the deaths of Moscone and Milk. All heralded the onset of what many now refer to as the SF Board of Stupervisors.

I think you and the poster you refer to in your post are both quite correct.

For in a City which stands for little more than nothing sane, nothing civil nor respectful, in the here and now, yes... you both are correct.
