SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A man protesting the looming U.S. war on Iraq fell to his death from San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday as he was hanging a banner, officials said.
"He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now."
Anti-war sentiment is strong in the San Francisco Bay Area but the death of the man in his 30s was the first related to the latest protests over the U.S.-led war against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Another idiocide.
Good riddance!

And I'm guessing that there are those (probably even some Roman Catholic clergy, unfortunately) who will try to put his blood on GW's hands.

People that have no sense of reality.
This one just met reality head on.

War related anti-american body count is two. Crunch in Gaza & now splash in the bay. We're off to a good start.
