...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
prosecutors begin charging 80 protesters who last month blocked traffic for hours on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge while demanding a ceasefire in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
The protest came as San Francisco was hosting US President Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S.
You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
and other world leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
Seventeen people are appearing in court today to face charges of false imprisonment, refusing to comply with a peace officer, unlawful public assembly, refusing to disperse and obstruction of street, sidewalk or other place open to public. Their arraignments are continued to February.
Hundreds of demonstrators holding signs that read "Biden: Ceasefire Now" and "Free Free Paleostine" and "Drop the Charges!" held a news conference outside the court before the arraignments of those charged began.
Aisha Nizar, of the Paleostinian Youth Movement, says she was among those who were arrested and charged but does not plan to stop demonstrating.
"We are more resolute in our demands for a ceasefire than ever," Nizar says outside the court.
About 200 protesters participated in the demonstration during the global trade summit, and blocked all lanes of traffic into San Francisco on the bridge’s upper deck, with some drivers tossing their keys into the bay. Dozens of them were arrested and 29 vehicles were towed. Protesters demanded that Biden call for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...The demonstrators who were charged will be arraigned in batches throughout the week, prosecutors say.
