Anti-war protesters take to S.F. streets to condemn U.S. bombing
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 24, 2014 | By Kale Williams

A loud but peaceful group of protesters descended on downtown San Francisco on Wednesday evening to voice their opposition to recent air strikes in Iraq and Syria.

The group, which numbered above 50 at its peak, gathered for about an hour near the corner of Powell and Market streets around 5:30 PM.

Speakers came to the microphone blasting the Obama administration for what they called the most recent in a long string of unnecessary and costly military interventions in a region halfway around the world.

“Millions upon millions upon millions of dollars are being spent to kill people in countries that have never done anything to us,” said Nathalie Hrizi, a public school teacher who brought her young son Adam to the protest.

“Money for jobs and education,” she chanted.

“Not for war and occupation,” the enthusiastic crowd chanted back.

Hmmmm. Maybe they should go over and have a beer summit with isil/isis/is or whatever. They change their title almost as frequently as the warmers.

But Obama is their guy.

These liberals should be ok with what is happening, because Obama is the one who decided to intervene over there.

Funny. Rush mentioned yesterday on his show about the lack of anti-war protesters in SF. Then they appear that very same day? Coincidence? Hardly.

It’s not hip to protest Obama’s wars.

Really? I thought 9/11 kinda shows what happens if you stick your head up your a$$ and ignore what's happening in the world. Personally, I'd rather fight them over there than in my own back yard...you idiot.

Eh, I give your chant a 5 out of 10, Nathalie. You'll have to think up something more catchy than that.

How about, "Don't spend money to bomb ISIS rape camps, pay for my PMS drugs so I don't get cramps!"

The Regime to the Protesters:

“Shut up and cash your welfare checks.”

Hell it’s probably protestors Jarrett sent out. I honestly believe Obama sides with ISIS but can’t let the American people know that. He probably had the bombing squads launch their missiles over the deserts of Syria and bury them there and had his propanda squad create false footage for the MSM to air. To date I haven’t seen any footage or evidence of any bombings that have affected ISIS other than news report in the MSM that have no photographs or footage attached.

I remember during Kosovo they tried to do an anti-war protest and all the fairies and freaks there shouted them down.

Clinton’s wars were “cool”.

“spent to kill people “
Wrong. Spent to eliminate subhuman savages.
