April
30, 2004 - Resistance, San Francisco
Demonstrators gathered
at the foot of Market Street, and after several minutes of silent
mourning for the people lost in Iraq, made their way to the San
Francisco Armed Forces Recruiting Center where they proceeded to
remove stacks of recruiting brochures and smiling cardboard cutouts
of members of the U.S. armed forces -- throwing them into the street.
Continuing through San
Francisco the protesters, trailed by a small number of police officers,
headed to the British Consulate were they rallied inside the atrium
of the consulate building.
While the rally continued,
workers started to close the atrium doors. The protesters, fearing
that they might become stuck inside, moved to the streets. As the
last door closed one of the workers flashed the peace sign at the
exiting protesters.
One more day of resistance,
San Francisco.

Joy Ride 1
(
inexplicably, while the protesters
were gathering, at least 20 police officers road into
the plaza on bikes, and then proceeded to ride through
a dry fountain in the center of plaza.)
