Live From the SF Pro Iraq Demonstration

Greetings from high above Market Street - InAnOfficeAboveSF. The SFPD is trying their best to keep the streets open but every time the get one intersection cleared another is blocked. The people that have been arrested are being kept in a pen on the corner of Market and Sansome, across the street from the Pacific Stock Exchange. Whenever the pen gets full they load the crown onto a Muni bus and haul them off to who knows where (Guantanamo we hope).

I had to wade through the demo to get to work so stopped off at McDonalds just to support Globalization and listen to the protest for a few minutes. It was there that I heard one of the worse things I’ve ever heard in my life – several hundred people who don’t speak French trying to sing the Marseilles. How the French could support these people after what they did to the French National Anthem is beyond me.

On the way through the crow I passed by the sound system – no bull horns for these guys. I was surprised to see that some of their exhortations were pre-recorded. Must save them from getting hoarse with all the chanting. The signs were pretty tame. The chants were very tame (“No F***ing War!” Was about the toughest thing going.) It’s like all of the groups couldn’t agree on an agenda so it’s sort of a least common denominator demonstration.

SFPD has just enlarged the pen and the demonstrators have chained themselves together across Market Street. SFPD have called in the Fire Department with their power saws to cut through the chains. The demonstrators better hope none of the SFFD guys remember 9/11.

Any way to get a reminder to the SFFD?

Didn't the SFFD send a rescue team to the WTC?

Like pigs. Hey, are they calling the police pigs yet?

[MindBender26]

Where is Freddy Krueger when we need him?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Walk past the sound system and "accidentally" stumble on the power cord and unplug it.

Uncreative idiots. Hope the SFFD have the hoses ready!

Does your window open?

Maybe you could lob a few cans of coke down to the poor thirsty demonstrators.

Hey, surprise them. Don't tell them the cans are coming.

[Mo1]

LOL .. great idea

[Charlie OK]

[Beck_isright]

Hopefully the SFPD will get that Isreali bulldozer with driver to clear those pro-terrorist commies out.

[HairOfTheDog]

Live reporting from the scene in SF eh?

SFPD have called in the Fire Department with their power saws to cut through the chains.

I think if I saw the FD approaching me with power saws I would suddenly produce the *keys*.

[Black Agnes]

Check indymedia. They've been calling for video and pictures all morning.
