From a story on Yahoo:

"While anti-war protesters shut down streets around Civic Center, Mayor Willie Brown said the Police Department will keep the streets open and the city will run "business as usual." He also said the protesters who shut down traffic were counterproductive.

"I've got to assume that these people are so misguided that they are actually aiding the enemy by doing what they are doing," Brown said. "Most of these people who are being arrested and have been arrested, probably more than 75 or 80 percent, are not San Franciscans. I just wish they'd stay in their own communities and protest rather than put the expense on us."

I wonder if we can get money from the protestors' communities to pay for the anti-war protests march. The San Francisco Unified School District said they might lay off 1,000 teachers. Wanna bet that number goes up now that the City has to pay for these anti-war protests? Wanna bet the City of San Francisco will start cutting more social services for the poor, needy and elderly and start laying off more people to pay for the anti-war protests?
