An anti-war protester who climbed one of the towers on the Golden Gate Bridge fell into San Francisco Bay early this afternoon.

Modesto PD will find him.

LOL!

Far be it for me to give simple minds any ideas, but didn't some deep thinking protestors douse themselves with gasoline and ignite themselves during the Viet Nam war?

[TexKat]

Was he wearing homemade cement shoes?

[runningbear]

Darling you you you send me......lol... I heard about the jumper....And get this, the National Guard was posted, sitting around, watching this guy put up a banner, and he falls?.... Homeland security I tell ya.... Oh Gov, are ya paying attention on training?

Maybe we should hold off for a few more days...

Best line I've seen on FR in a month... ;-)

Backatcha mis amigo! Sounds like fun, but I have 200 hours of work to do and only 100 hours to do it! (sigh)

Which one of you right wingers conspired to put gravity under that bridge? C'mon, fess up.

Yes they did and I'll bet you could get some of these guys to do the same by telling them it would help their cause to do so --- easier than figuring out what their cause is.

"The last think to go through his mind?"

Now you're presuming that he had a mind, dude.

[Stone Mountain]

So how is it that with the National Guard supposedly protecting the Golden Gate bridge, can
someone with a large banner climb over all the fences and restraints? What if he had been carrying
a bomb? Are we really supposed to believe that the Golden Gate is safe if terrorists should decide
to attack it?

I'm in Des Moines....organizing the Rally at the State Capitol on Saturday.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Y'know, we ought to go to war more often, it brings out all the lemmings on the left... and we get to watch the fun.

LOL I'm listening to KVI about this right now. Hard to tell which is the dumbest with so many choices, including McDermRAT! Notice that 2/3 are from OUR area? ooops... ;)

Striving to be the lowest common denominator is probably not a good way to be, IMO.

Thanks, AM

[putupon]

moderator, please pull this so the other Freepers will think I posted something exceptionaly crude and insensitive.

Regardless of this man's lack of better judgement, someone in his family got "a phone call" today and it wasn't good news. Out of respect for his surviving family----

I only heard the first 2 nominees, the bridge guy was first and the second was the lock-up guy. Who was the third nominee?
