I don't care what their cause is, they need to be brought down immediately.

Hope they’re wearing climbing harnesses, if not they deserve to fall. Darwin award nominees?

I saw some workers on the Bay Bridge a couple of weeks ago and thought, “I’d pay money to be able to walk up to the top on the giant cable and then back down again!”

Wish daddy would cut off their allowances so they would have to get a job and do something productive.

I’ve made this point to friends of mine repeatedly. The reason conservatives rarely if ever march in a protest is because we’re all too busy paying our own bills.

I can see it now, they slip and fall, hit the water and spread out like hot cookie dough. Their parents sue and the taxpayers lose.

Isn’t climbing these bridges illegal? I would wager a Coke that there are signs posted stating the punishment and fines associated with climbing on the bridge.
Arrest them, and give them the maximum permissible fine. There are other ways to protest that do not endanger the lives of others. If a protester falls and dies; they deserve that for being stupid. However, if a rescuer gets hurt in the attempt of saving an idiot from his own illegal and stupid stunt ....

Little tiny image of it, there are some semi-live webcams pointing at the bridge, but the view is about the same as above.

I can think of a few things worth getting off your duff and doing something about: Chinese communist dictatorship, abortion, gun rights. How long does it take you to pay your bills anyway? Ever heard of online banking? :)
