Can anything really be defended with a limp-wristed style?
Since San Fran will not let the U.S. Marines film a commercial... maybe city government will do something about not allowing militant homeless rule the streets. I was in San Fran in late June '06... the homeless population is out of control, one of the panhandlers got ticked that I wouldn't fork over some coinage... said panhandler nearly got an elbow across the nose... but I thought better of it since I would be the "criminal" even though I was the one being assaulted.
As a parent of an active Marine and someone who has been to SF and thought it was one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I will never step foot in it again.
Maybe their only conception of the US Marines is from the movie “The Rock” and they think the Marines are threatening to SF..... I always hated that the movie portrayed such a psycho image of a group of US Marines.
Don’t I hope! SF will have an earthquake. Military should decline to assist. All branches of the military should honor the decision of the SF City Council, which has designated the city as a military free zone.
Call up the Rainbow Brigade!
An SF university would more likely agree to host Ahmadinejad to speak than to have the Marines there...
(Hey, at least they’d be able to show him what “those people” look like ;)
Wouldn’t it be cool IF the USMC were allowed to tell the scum of San Francisco to “POUND SAND” were al-queda to take over that rat hole?
With due apologies to the sensibilities of Scum.
Not a day passes that my hatred and contempt of liberals fails to intensify.
I can’t imagine that anyone would be surprised by this story. The marine corps probably wouldn’t be permitted to film in Red China, Cuba or Iran either.
We need to pull Fleet Week out of San Fagsisco now! It should never be held in that garbage pit ever again
No one has any idea how bad this pi$$es me off!
San Francisco enjoys the freedoms it has because of the blood spilled by Marines and the other armed forces. P!ss on S.F.
This might fly in Stalins Russia but in America this is a violation of the Law of the Land, the United States Constitution.
Storm the beaches and film the dang thing anyway.
I’m sure a few seconds of footage of marines beating the crap out of leftist loonies would actually help recruitment efforts.
“This — a slap in the face of every veteran and every parent of men and women who are doing their duty — is shameful,” says police Capt. Greg Corrales, a Marine veteran who commands the city traffic bureau.
His son is on his third tour with the Marines in Iraq, the station says.
“Ms. Coyote’s politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the film commission and as a responsible citizen,” Corrales says.
After refusing to answer a reporter’s questions, KGO-TV reports Coyote later said during a public meeting that “traffic control was the issue.”
Corrales, who oversees the traffic-control officers who work with film crews, says that’s bunk.
“If they want to get the job done, they find a way to get it done,” he tells the station.”
Would you rather be like this??
