Jim Herd reports that "at least 30 vehicles, mostly Chevy and Ford," are parading for Prop 8 at City Hall right now (1 p.m.) "Lots of banners, repeated honking, heading towards city hall, sirens, circling city hall over and over," we're told. Check it out if you're in the area. But do watch out for any baseball bats flying at your face, queer brethren.

Samuel L Jackson needs to get down there and....
Mostly SUVs and pickups, for whatever that's worth. They were just blaring their horns and waving signs out the window driving down Market Street. At least one guy was standing up out of the sunroof (where's a traffic cop when you need one?). They're basically trying to incite reaction from the locals. I'm sure they will consider themselves quite brave for taking their message of intolerance and discrimination to their symbolic opposition.
I was just there... it was crazy. There were a bunch of trucks and SUV's and the people driving them had those orange safety vests on like the kind construction workers wear. Everybody on the street just kind of stared at how ridiculous they looked.
They keep driving around in their pick ups...obviously not from SF as they are all really really really fat.
FAIL
those bridge and tunnel hicks need to go back to wherever they came from....
I rode by on my bike. All the people I saw in the trucks were black. I guess the irony of parading in a fairly tolerant city to take away peoples' civil rights is lost on them.
What is with these people - on both sides?

I work on Van Ness and saw them driving by. I responded by flipping them off and then running back into the office and donating another $100 to No on 8. They made me so mad I'm still trying to calm down.
When I saw them, I ran back into my office, went to the rest room, dropped a steamer and then picked it up with some chop sticks and flung it at the bastards.
Keith Moon wins.
I want to actually talk to one of these people just to make sure they cant back up their position with anything but the bullshit about kindergarden education, "it's against my religion", and "that's how it's always been"
phyxius - you seem to have the same denial that people who go on Sean Hannity's show have. You won't get 15 seconds uninterrupted to make your inquiry...
When they rolled past me one of the guys took one look at me and nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
I guess being fat, white, and conservatively dressed tipped them off that I was a Prop 8 supporter. Gotta love orientation-profiling.
Can't wait to go home and tell my boyfriend.
I saw these folks riding into the city on 280. My favorite was the dump truck that said, 'man 2 woman = evolution :: man 2 man = extinction'. What's up with that? Evolution is cool when it's convenient?
Did they set up any burning crosses?
man 2 man = extinction
yeah... but what a way to go!
San Francisco man 2 San Francisco woman = extinction

Right after leaving City Hall to vote, I heard the honks and went to the corner to see what the fuss was about. I saw the "yes on 8" signs and my stomach dropped. They made a rude comment to a passing woman bicyclist, and she stopped right in front of the white Ford pick-up truck and wouldn't move. They started getting pissed off, and the driver got out of the truck. We all got closer to make sure he didnt touch her. He (fat, bald, dark skin) starting yelling at her to move out of his way, that she didnt have the right to stop there. She just held the peace sign in his face. Priceless.
Then three more bald-headed goons got out of the truck, and there was a confrontation. Some shoving. Then he yelled at us spectators watching from the corner to "get off the street." While we were standing on the sidewalk. I got pissed, was doing so well at being quiet, and started yelling at him to get back in his truck, that it wasn't his city, that we can stand where we wanted, and that he should just move on. He was all high-and-mighty, acting cool.
The drove away - Escalades, Explorers and Ford trucks. Some fat girls blaring hip-hop and dancing while screaming "Yes on 8" as if they were heading to a rock concert. Pathetic, yet so real.
Worldli, the next time you want to weigh in on how horrible a bunch of haters are, you might want to refrain from making sure we all know they were "fat," "bald," and had "dark skin" -- you sound kind of hateful yourself, not to mention racist. How does that have anything to do with their ignorance and homophobia?
