You may not like Jym or have some disagreement with him but as a general rule I don't. I don't think
that him and I agree on a whole lot but I still think that he is a moderate enough to think about
what he says.
However, in this case there is more than meets the eye. The cops weren't waiting to grab bicyclists,
I'm sure. Throughout this whole demonstration business in San Francisco, for the most part the
police have been more than generous and that has caused the demonstrators to up the ante by blocking
traffic and trying to close down the financial district. The police have a responsibility to prevent
that and while I don't know what's going on. On Broadway there was a lot of anti-USA grafiti spray
painted on the sides of buildings generally in places where it would be the most expensive to
remove. This was plainly done on purpose because it wasn't done on any of the windows where a razor
blade could clean if off for minimal expense to the involved businesses.
I did notice that when I was having lunch the police were setting up for something. They had an
assembly area where they were gathering and they all seemed to be expecting something. They weren't
the only one's clued in that something was in the wind because overhead there was a news helicopter
hovering for a good 1/2 hour that I know of.
