Mumia's Not Going to Free Himself, You Know

ba_protest_024_ls.jpgFor those who didn't get enough protesting in yesterday, today there was a bunch of protests throughout the day, probably inspired by the President's channeling of Axl Rose by telling the country that all you need is just a little patience (we didn't watch the speech, but wouldn't it have been great if he did Axl's little snake-dance in the middle of the it)?

The big thing was the "Die-In" which blocked traffic on Market Street when a bunch of protestors feigned death in front of DiFi's office and lied in the streets. They then went into Market Street and blocked traffic. Most people love those things because it blocks up traffic and winds up screwing over a bunch of people who have nothing to do with anything. Police wound up arresting forty-five people and sending them off in threee paddy wagons.

Also today, Code Pink camped out in front of Pelosi's house where they gave the cops some donuts and demanded Pelosi defund the war. We're not really the biggest fans of Code Pink, but sending the transgendered activist into the Valerie Plame hearings with the "Impeach Bush" t-shirt was simply awesome. Well played, Code Pink.

There was also a rally in front of the Chevron office in San Ramon but executives were too busy figuring out how much they could raise the price of gas to notice.

At least Mumia can write a decent sentence. "today there was a bunch of protests throughout the day" and "lied in the streets" are both unbelievably bad English.

They "lied in the streets"??

What, they stood in the streets telling falsehoods?

In the words of the immortal Charlie Brown, "good grief."

Lied in the streets.

You know, SPELL & GRAMMAR check can't help you with that one....

Easy on Jon--he's probably a Stanfurd MBA.

Is this a gossip site about the gavster and night life ephemera or is there some political news that strives to be objective? Don't link to the Chronic Liar version of anything that happens, for example, if you are about showing a range of balanced news.

you gotta admit, that was a great headline

Actually, the headline was racist as hell and so is Mr. Shurkin.

how is that headline even possibly racist?

Sure, it pokes fun at Mumia, but that doesn't make it racist.

Another sad lefty joke of a poster trying to scream racist if he disagrees with something. Weak-ass PC bullshit from some stupid trustfund hipster baby who uses lefty platitudes to get laid. Where was the outrage over all the misogynist shit on the Newsom threads, huh? All the jokes about him being gay? But that's okay. Progs don't like homos, eh?

Now start shouting, WE SHALL OVERCOME... Che T-shirt wearing Loser.

Ahhhh,

I was wondering why no one's been posting on the Wall the last week or so. Hell, they're all here. Study some of 'Yogo''s posts. Pure Wall. Just mop with a bit of lysol water, Jon. It's a compliment. With fame, you get pests like this.

h.
