Protesters Throw Bricks and Bibles at Police in San Francisco

Occupy San Francisco’s “Day of Action” turned violent Friday night when protesters occupied an abandoned hotel and began throwing objects at police officers from the roof, police said.

“Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they then began to throw bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Department spokesman Carlos Manfredi said.

“One of officers was struck with a brick to the chest and one of our lieutenants was struck in the hand with an object and may have damaged or even broken his hand,” he said.

Protesters began the day Friday by targeting San Francisco’s financial institutions like the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, the SEC, Citibank, Chase, and Bechtel.

“The banks are not being responsible and we are tired of being foreclosed, getting in so much debt; it’s just time to change the system,” protester Wendy Kaufmyn told ABC News station KGO-TV in San Francisco.

Protesters began chaining themselves to the entrances of Wells Fargo Bank’s corporate headquarters in downtown San Francisco.

I’m afraid that the Bibles were just handy objects, left in the night-table drawers of the hotel when it closed, but meaningless to these hippie protestors.

Exactly how is this the fault of the banks? I know they use pressure to encourage debt but that doesn't mean you have to give in. When I paid off my house they descended like a pack of very friendly wolves to tell me the glories of equity and small monthly fees.

Lazy useless morons. The police should have lined them up on the sidewalk and gone to the roof and dropped the bricks.

Throw the Bibles, sure, that’s to be expected from these people. But if they found Korans, those they would respect.

Such kindhearted, compassionate human beings. They signed themselves away into debt and are now violently complaining about it and want the system changed. Whereas, if the banks had not given them the loans for which they applied, they would haven been complaining and rioting because they were poor and needed loan money to get ahead and have the things they needed and wanted.
