Around 150 protesters were arrested during yesterday's anti-war protest -- "a lesson on how to do it right," raves C.W. Nevius! -- during a rally that was, for the most part, a peaceful affair. Although a few hooligans hurled glass Christmas ornaments loaded with paint at San Francisco police, which seems a bit unnecessary considering how tolerant the police force here acts compared to larger cities such as Los Angeles, people were rather friendly compared to protests in the past. Scrumptious birthday cake, emblazoned with the message "Unhappy 5th Birthday Stop the War Now," oranges, and coffee were handed out to hungry passers-by.

Aw.

Oh, and you remember yesterday's momentary shutdown at the Third and Market intersection? Turns out it was because of the Collective Liberation, a clan that helps fights racism. Some of its members were arrested at the intersection. According to CBS 5, they claim that it was a demonstration "to give a voice to those who didn't have one."

Huh.

And proving himself to be a repeat offender, and that life on the outside is just too much to handle, former mayoral candidate and activist/blogger Josh Wolf was arrested again at the Third and Market protest.
