and my feet hurt

We shut down much of downtown SF today. I'm tired and going to bed. The acting police chief (father of the fajita-craving cop with anger management issues) called it the most disruptive protest in his 30 years on the job.

I woke up to helicopters and it seems like I'll be going to sleep to them also.

shut em down!!

i too was downtown and it was amazing!!! the black bloc are a bunch of idiots who tried to get into a violent confrontation with the cops on wednes in the mission district. i was over by the federal building, market and 5th and civic center areas where there were sizable numbers of demostrators. we shut down the federal building because we had hella people. (i was amazed by the # of fed. employess bummed that they couldn't get into the building and lurked around for hours. who here would do that??)i'm not an adocate of non-violent civil disobedience but 'fuck shit up' tactic makes no sense to me especially when outnumbered by the cops. i for one would rather be giving, not receiving, an ass kicking. in SF when POC/Queers resort to such actions, we're singled out arrested on all sorts of chumped up charges.
