SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The uniform of a San Francisco police officer caught fire after a Molotov cocktail was hurled near as an anti-Bush protest Wednesday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.

A large crowd made its way from the Civic Center down Market Street, blocking traffic during the afternoon commute.

"My partner and I are standing here monitoring the crowd and all of a sudden I heard glass breaking, and the bottle apparently hit right there and gasoline spilled and the next thing I know my shoulder is on fire," police officer Gary Constantine told television station KRON.

Just when it looked like the protest was wrapping up in the evening, some protesters sat down in the middle of a busy intersection to block more traffic. The group refused police requests to disperse so they were arrested at the scene, according to police.

A large sign unfurled in front of City Hall read: "Bush step down. Take your whole program with you."

They can start their own socialist country and we can go to war with them.

Why bother? With their homosexual content, their population will drop to near zero within two decades.

This poorly written sentence needs editing:

The uniform of a San Francisco police officer caught fire after a Molotov cocktail was hurled near as an anti-Bush protest Wednesday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.

What a misleading sentence.

Suggest this:
The uniform of a San Francisco police officer caught fire after a Molotov cocktail was hurled at him by the anti-Bush protest group Wednesday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.

You're welcome. I wish reporters would be honest enough to include the organizers in their report -- relevant and factual information.

Bring out the bulldozers, it's time to clean up the Communist trash.

Sadly I tend to agree with your expressed sentiment. I only hope that I still be able to take an active part in the festivities.

Go on the rants and raves (warning offensive content) section of Craigslist San Francisco and see how racist and exclusionary the "progressive" community is over the Halloween celebration in the Castro District.

*Only love can unite the peoples!
*Give peace a chance!
*The Administration broke the law to start a war!

"Let's show our displeasure by blocking traffic and throwing improvised incendiary devices!!"

Liberals suck!

OMG! You're good looking, well armed, AND you like dogs???? Is there no end to your accomplishments? Too bad you're so much too yopung for me! ;>)

I'd pay a few bucks to see that/sarc.What's ironic is she's the type that would do something like that.

You may be right...

Do the asterisks denote convicted felons?

[King Prout]

I dunno about that "good looking" bit, but I'm also partial to horses and cats, which makes up for that lack :)

That is terrorism, now they should be sent to Gitmo.

[King Prout]

they are not "liberals"
they are an unholy alliance of perverts, pop-anarchists, islamicists, marxists, and trust-funded junkies.

*I* am a liberal.
Don't kowtow to them and allow them to claim ownership of that once noble term.
Call them what they are: Statists and Useful Idiots.
