Bay Area Counter-Protest A Huge Success
Protest Warriors ^ | June 6, 2004 | Todd

Posted on 06/06/2004 11:03:01 AM PDT by bgcountry187

On saturday, June 5th, the liberal looney toons gathered to protest the war, President Bush, Israel, and a number of other things that had nothing to do with anything. The San Francisco Voice For Israel gathered in conjuction with the Protest Warriors and a few freepers. Here is my rundown on the days events. Please bear with me, I'm not much of a writer, but I'll do my best.

The San Francisco Voice For Israel met at 10:30 at Market and Powell in San Francisco. Around 11:30 they marched down the sidewalk (they didn't have a permit to march in the road) to Justin Herman Plaza. The plaza is directly adjacent to Embarcadero Plaza (the cancer's final meeting point) with only a walkway a little bigger than a crosswalk seperating the two. Their forces numbered around 150, maybe more.

Meanwhile, the Protest Warriors and a few Freepers met up at Embarcadero Bart at 11:30. We hung out until about 12:00 gathering in size to numbers we have never had. Excitement was in the air. We new we would make a bold statement today. We had all read an article on Indybay.org, an independant news source (the liberals source for their lies), that was all about the guys in white (that's us, we always try to where white shirts so we can see each other better amongst the rainbow of colors). It had warnings about us. This excited us. They were worried about 20 people (that's how many they said we had last time, even though we had nearly 40) amongst their thousands. It made us feel good that they new we would continue to have our voice heard. For it is the voice of the true majority. By the end of the day we number around 50, many more than we have ever had.

On with the day. Around 12:00 we started to head to Justin Herman Plaza. We weren't going to infiltrate the march this time, just meet them at the end. We arrived at the plaza to see hundreds of Pro-Israel supporters. It was a great site to see the flags and signs everywhere showing support for Israel. They very happy to see us. "Hello Protest Warriors!" they happily chanted. There was already a group of Palestinian supporters on the other side of the cross walk and we began chanting "Free Israel!" The police had already began to watch us to keep us seperated. After about a half our, maybe 45 minutes we were excited and decided we had to join in the march. The protest warriors and a few freepers gathered and walked about a half mile up the answers march route. This time they were ready for us. They made a wall in front of us as the march approached. This time the cancer supporters were much more confrontational. I guess the truth was getting to them. The police lined up in front of the cancers wall to protect us. We were getting into the march one way or another. This wall tactic would backfire on the answer. We moved another block up the march route and quikly joined in the march. The answer "Security" again blocked us with their wall and completely stopped in the middle of the road. Their were news cameras everywhere and this was turning out to be so much better for us. It was showing the hatred and hostility these "peace" protesters have. It looked like things were going to get out of hand and the police surrounded us for protection. The news caught all this on camera.

During all this I had a "veteran against the war" come up to me and tell me to look at their posterboard. It was pictures of all the dead soldeirs. He asked me what I thought of that. I told him those are America's true heros protecting our nation and freeing Iraqies form a murderous tyrant. I told him the world is a safer place with Saddam in custody. He started to give me a speach about him being a veteran. I had to interupt him, "How dare you use being a veteran in all this and how dare you use those soldiers, who probably all of whom, were proud to defend their country, and new they were fighting for a just cause. Oh and by the way my Dad is a veteran and supports the operations in Iraq, oh yah a$$hole, I AM a veteran!!" This really threw him off. I am a veteran of the Air Force. I only did my 4 year term, but I am still a veteran. I guess because I am young, 26, he thought their was no way I could be a veteran. His only response was why aren't you there. I told him because I didn't get called from inactive reserve or I would have been proud to defend my country, and oh yah, I'm going into the reserve. After that he was stumped and just walked off.

We all started to slide out the sides and around the cancer. The cops seemed to let us go. They followed along the sides. We marched to the plaza feeling the hatred all along the march. I lost my voice yelling "USA" or "Free Israel." We again met with the SF voice for Isreal. When we arrived the police had made a solid line with people and thier motorcycles to seperate us. I could feel the hatred from the other side. It still amazes me, even after having done this a few times, the hatred they have. I thought they were all about peace and love. I guess it's peace and love unless you differ in opinion. We carried on with our many chants for a few hours. The news cameras gave interviews to people from both sides. Channel 5 in the bay area interviewed me. I was decked out in red, white, and blue. I had a "one nation under GOD" hat on, and my "Americas Armed Forces, the True Freedom Fighters," which has a giant flag on it, and of course I had my American flag also. The lady asked me why I was there and I said "I'm here to show my support for Israel, President Bush, and our troops over seas!" She asked more questions but that was all that made the news. Channel 5 gave the best broadcast of the day. Other channels didn't even mention us, or they just did a little blurp, but channel 5 gave equal attention to both sides. I am writing a letter to thank them for giving us equal air time. Around 3:30 things started to wind down and we gathered one last time. We decide it was time to leave and we all walked to bart together, it's a safety thing!!

Overall, the day was a huge success. We are all happy with the days events. Everything went smoothly. We had many more people than we have ever had. I hope to see some of you in the future. Please come out, we can use all the support we can get. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics to post. Thank you to all who showed up and supported us. We may have had less people, but our message was much louder and clearer. Those who went please post comments if I missed anything. Here are links to the protest warriors and sf voice for israel:

Their delusion is striking.

Their life is like looking through a one way mirrored window. They cannot see the whole picture, just themselves and what is behind them.

I can read between the lines and read when people are too cowardly and ashamed to openly proclaim bloodlust.

Oh you can read between the lines and see "bloodlust," can you? I just see a jackboot-licking servile statist CJ, and I don't have to read between any lines.

I believe this is mostly talk. But proposing things like sticking counter-demonstrators with HIV-infected needles is legally assault with deadly force, if I understand current legal precedent, and would justify pre-emptive measures in superior degree.

If someone tries to stick you with a needle, you are 100% morally justified in killing them, so far as I'm concerned.

"You do not support thinly-veiled calls to political violence, and therefore you are a servile statist."

Thank you for defining who these people really are. I am always trying to do that on every thread, because some think they are just liberal democrats out there. You are right, they are nothing but evil, and can be very violent. The media tries to make them sound like just ordinary concerned citizens, but they know better than that too. They don't show the real obscene and anti American posters they have or anything. It is just reprehensible.

Whoa...

Not real smart of them, is it? Empty threats or not, I guess they've forgotten that Real Men exist who truly shouldn't be messed with that way.

Yes the SF Police showed restraint.

But in the end the Socialist Communist Terrorist-Supporters just had to get their face time and martyrdom points. When I saw these guys getting their pull ties ready, I went to the end of the line. The last officer felt like there would not be a big confrontation, and he was right.

Later on though the ones that needed attention got it...

The antagonist above just after I shot this picture smiled real big for his girlfriend as she took his picture.
I asked her what he did, and she said "nothing." When I asked her if she saw when he was arrested, she said no...LOL but was sure he did nothing.

I assured her he would be "famous" in his little circle and she will be really proud of him.

So these three were arrested, and the news said later 5 were arrested altogether. See the happy grins on their faces? It's all a game to them, Mommy and Daddy will bail them out.

The two old hippies in the foreground were taking notes as the one kid was yelling Criminal Code numbers to them.

The problem is in knowing who stuck you in a large flowing crowd, where you are being brushed constantly by strangers.

I can just imagine what would happen if a patriot was infected with HIV at a commie 'rat street rally. He wouldn't find out for some months, most likely. Then, he wouldn't know when or where he was infected. But if he connected it to a jabbing incident months back at a protest rally, I'd imagine he'd load up and go postal the next time the commie 'rats gathered in a large crowd.

My simple and personal solution for this is to avoid large crowds and strangers.

But that doesn't do anything to address the attitude of those who, because of their disregard for life, would try to infect others via a needle.

As that attitude becomes more commonplace, things will eventually come to a head, and not only will the attitude have to be dealt with, but also the "actors" also.

Protest Warrior actions will become more and more dangerous. The best result may be to stay deep undercover as a commie 'rat (pali scarf, unshowered filthy hippie look) with a digital camera.
