The combination of politics and protests boiled over Sunday, with supporters of President Donald Trump holding a demonstration and clashing with counter-protesters on the Golden Gate Bridge Sunday afternoon.
Officers from the California Highway Patrol and the Golden Gate Bridge Patrol tried to keep the two groups separated, and some arrests were made.
The march across the Golden Gate Bridge was billed by conservative organizer Brandan Straka as an effort to "save San Francisco." He’s behind a campaign called Walk Away, an effort to invite Democrats to leave their party and join the Republican party.
Straka said his group was mostly peaceful, but they did become animated when a counter protester threw a cone at him.
“If we come together in a demonstration to say we’re going to stand up for our country and these very same types of people who spent the last three plus months show up who have been destroying our neighborhoods, our cities and our country, " Straka said. "Yeah, our side’s going to have something to say about it because they’re really, really angry.”

BLM has their military uniforms on they clearly identified themselves in with BLM emblazoned on their clothing and helmets.
I should also note the reporter in this video is no where near us. He is on the north side of the bridge at the vista center, which we never entered, while the BLM encounter took place on the south side of the bridge over a mile away
I was at this terrific event and the BLM agitators engaged us at the end.
Sure, they drove past us on the Golden Bridge yelling obscenities and flipping the bird but, the physical interaction took place when we returned to the visitors center.
Someone from BLM threw a cone at Brandon Straka, the organizer, and he as well several other people did get angry and two BLM were taken into custody.
As we were leaving the visitor center 4 BLM thugs engaged a few Trump supporters and one shoved a Trumpette.
Law Enforcement was quickly all of them and took them into custody as well.
Seems that when Americans gather to lawfully demonstrate, the liberals show up to disrupt, antagonize and physically assault.
Yet the pinkos who run the so-called “news” media continue to lionize the “death to America” mobs as somehow legitimate.
>> The won’t name BLM
“they” are Comcast
Comcast reported giving $150 mil to BLM
Naturally, they are going to play that game.
WTF ever.
They pulled a stunt at the Los Gatos Rally yesterday that didn’t end well for them.
At the Morgan Hill rally BLM showed up and we were all having a good time. Well, maybe not BLM. They have some perpetual under their saddle.
The LEO’s, like those in San Francisco, were very aggressive to BLM, ensuring they didn’t get out of control.
They were the ones engaging in some pretty awful name calling and a few tried to incite but, were quickly dealt with.
Great weekend and I my new calling for the next two months.
Yeah!
He was at the RNC convention and was one of many people who were yelled at, stuff thrown on them and what ever you call what they did to Rand Paul and his wife where they wedged them in and would not let them move.
The agreement is likely for BLM to donate a big chunk (80% ? ) to the Biden campaign and pocketing the rest.
No doubt. One would think the transactions are public record
The new media game is that Trump supporters cause all this violence, and Trump praises them. Then paragraphs later they mention that someone shot and killed one of the evil Trump supporters.
“Marcus didn’t want his full name used because he’s concerned about recent violence by right-wing groups.
He said he was surprised when officers told him he wasn’t allowed to ride across the bridge on his bike.
“I’m allowed to believe what I believe, they can believe whatever, we can exist in the same space,” Marcus said. “How are you going to tell me that I can’t use the public space that I pay taxes for?”
So how does he feel about them shutting sown the 101 freeway or many other freeways” Seems like he is on the left side of things and I bet he was okay with those shutdowns.
Did any of the bad guys get thrown off the bridge?
Let me guess, these BLM thugs that were in custody were later released with no charges.
They’re just gentle giants on their way to college.
LOL!
Wouldn’t matter.
The city has compassion nets under the bridge so you can have time to figure out how to off yourself somewhere else...
Looks like you had classic Bay Area weather.

[Lived in SF for six about months many decades ago. It was a beautiful and interesting city, but I do not miss the gloom. 8^)]
Sergio Garcia is a BLM apologist. He shows light vs. darkness in one of his retweets.
I wonder when they did that? I don’t recall seeing any nets, the last time I was under the golden gate. I have heard, there have been a few that have managed to survive a jump off the Golden Gate. Rumor has it, when they were asked, what on earth were you thinking? They said, they were thinking, they wish they hadn’t jumped. 🤗 It’s a long drop to the water. 🤪
