Minutemen Demand Mayor Resign - Shouted Down by Radicals
SAN FRANCISCO—About a dozen members of an anti-illegal immigration group gathered Wednesday in front of San Francisco City Hall to call for the mayor's resignation over the city's sanctuary policy. But the protesters from the Minuteman Project demanding the City obey federal laws were drowned out by the nearly 200 professional protesters from the radical A.N.S.W.E.R. group yelling, "Go home, racists!"
The Southern California-based group came to protest the city's policy of not turning over undocumented immigrants to federal authorities.
The decades-old sanctuary policy came under close scrutiny in July after 21-year-old Edwin Ramos, slaughtered three San Francisco family members with an AK-47 because of road rage. This AK-47 wielding gangster boasted allegiance to the notorious MS-13 street gang, said Jim Gilchrist, President of the Minuteman Project, Inc.
I am calling upon all minutemen and women nationwide to join in this rally at city hall at 11: 00 am Wednesday morning, July 30 in downtown San Francisco,” Gilchrist said.
On June 22, in a traffic jam, a 21-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador allegedly opened fire on the Bologna family with a 30-round, magazine-fed, AK-47 assault rifle. Anthony Bologna, 49, and two of his sons, Michael, 20, and Mathew, 16 were fatally shot as they sat in their vehicle.
The Mayor of San Francisco commented that the incident was unfortunate he saw no connection between the city's sanctuary policy and the (alleged) homicides.

Well, if ANSWER is made up of "professional" protesters, then the Minutemen must be too.

Oddly or maybe not so oddly given their politics, the head of ANSWER told the Minutemen they don't have a right to free speech on the steps of San Francisco's city hall. She explained this is building represents openess and understanding.
What?! Openess and understanding mean only certain views are allowed to be expressed and this gives this idiot the right to scream insults and shout down people demanding City Hall obey the laws of our nation?

San Francisco,
You are excused from participating in American law, justice and benifits. The law of Anarchy means you're on your own regardless of what happens, no help in any disaster or crisis for any reason.
We do not regret any inconvience that may befall you.
Shake rattle & roll ...
Cheers
