"I see all this stuff and I am trying very hard to maintain my composure. What is wrong with these people?"

A couple hours ago I was on Market Street (San Francisco) near the Ferry Building. A huge anti-war group was in the streets disrupting traffic, and a bunch of cops in vehicles and on foot rushed up to shove them back on the sidewalks. I got into a verbal tirade with several of the demonstrators. Most likely because I was carrying a small U.S. flag! This one gal was very venomous, saying she knew everything because she is a "reporter". Yeh, right. Her video cameraman also spewed garbage. She's starting to slap at my flag, so I started slapping at her face with it. Ooh, that got a crowd forming around us. I'm getting no where with them, they're at the point of calling me a baby-killer and saying that flag is what's wrong with the country. Pure idiots, these people, after 15 minutes of this I called them what they are, the scum of the Earth and a few other choice words. Another fellow interceded, ratcheting down the volume and led me away, saying he agreed with me. Thanked him, 'cause it was looking dicey for me.

I got on the underground streetcar, and got into a debate with another protester decked out with protest slogans. But this one offered a mannerly conversation sprinkled with logic. We shook hands as we parted. Some protesters are anarchists and some are sane.

Geesh. If these people want peace, I think we'd be better off with tyranny.

Peace deomonstrators with molotov cocktails kind of goes hand-in-hand with, "Islam is a religion of peace."

They are not 'peace activist' they are anarchist and terrorist!

Protestors have NO RIGHT TO BE HEARD, only a freedom to speak. There is a difference.

Funny that we never saw these folks during Kosovo (no UN support) or Bosnia.

Busy blowing up logging trucks!

There is an agenda at work here and we all can see now that it is not about the war.

She held a sign saying "Peace is the first casualty in war."

We tried 12 years of peace and the first casualties have been US military aviators being shot at while simply observing the UN mandated No_Fly zone in order to contain Iraq, later to be followed by over 3000 casualties (fatalities) in the WTC attack.

In war, no peace is possible without conflict being resolved. Peace failed to resolve the mentioned conflicts and instead was promoting more terrorism in the future.

E.g. There has been no peace, while Hussein has had authority.

Molotov cocktails?


Prediction:

The first group of fools that actually lob molotov cocktails at police or counter-protestors will definitely regret it.

Most Americans are fed up with their juvenile crap anyways and just waiting to see them squished like bugs.

Besides, what valuable property could a unwashed hippy protester have worth confiscating?

His health.

I'd have to say, that works for me.

Pings; make sure you see the follow up link a few posts above; let's hope they nail these scum to the wall.

PS - the link is to an updated version of this story. The following text has the key points; not sure what else is new in the updated version.

Police said they had obtained a security videotape showing two men throwing the backpack into bushes in the alley. They have given officers on the street photos of the two men and are hopeful they will be found in the crowds of protesters gathering on San Francisco's streets Friday night.

San Francisco police spokesman Dewayne Tully said officers had also discovered collection of rags, lighter fluid, and "other materials to make incendiary objects with" in front of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Anyone who's counting on the SFPD to take a more aggressive stance in the next coming days ought to be aware that the SFPD has been handing out candy to the protestors, is assisting the 'disabled' and aged protestors, and making sure that anyone that 'looks dehydrated' gets offered water. They're making arrests, but they're actually helping some of them along. The protestors are playing the SFPD like the suckers they are.

I kid you not.

This weekend will be the high point of the protestor's activity.

The first one absolutely enraged me. I'm sure the scene with the poor b*st*rd trying to save the flag, and then getting piled on by leftist thugs, was repeated many times on the streets of San Francisco yesterday.
