more pix of anti Schwarznegger rally 4/5/05

It was a bright, beautiful spring day in the city!!
April 5 2005, the naked power grabs were frolicking, the pigs were on the march and choppers were all a-buzz in the clear blue skies over San Francisco as Arnold Schwarznegger stealthily snuck his odious, cigar chomping, steroid twisted corpus into our fair city. Apparently “Herr Gropinator” had crept into the ritz-carlton hotel-and corporate-cash-donation-slop-trough hours earlier than his scheduled appearance 6pm for a $1000-a-plate fund raiser. Perhaps he wanted to take in the historic architecture of the Ritz?? After all, it had been Heralded as a "Temple of Commerce" when it opened in September 1909. The massive, 17-columned building spanning Stockton Street between California and Pine Streets had been expanded five times and is now one of San Francisco's best examples of neo-classical architecture!! Metropolitan Life commissioned the building after the 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed the company's offices and records in the Wells Fargo Building at Second and Mission Streets. In selecting the new headquarters site, the insurance company broke with tradition. Although still located on Pine Street -- once known as "Insurance Row" -- the Nob Hill site was considered unusual because no other fiscal institution had dared to headquarter outside the Financial District. Two massive, bronze doors marked the entry to the four-story building which included a basement-level, fire proof vault. During the 1909 opening day ceremonies, a torch-like lamp was placed prominently over the doors to symbolize the insurer's "watchful service to policy holders" under the shadow of "the light that never fails." Or, was it that he was too afraid to show his drug distorted “face” to the thousands of angry teachers, nurses, firefighters, students,
Union members and anti war activists that surrounded the ritz on all sides?? Girly-man indeed!! One of these fotos shows some people with a lone placard at this rally demanding criminal charges against this special interest money wallowing, corporate co-conspiritorizing, son-of-a-nazi. But I’m think’in they are shoot’in at the wrong target, sure, sex predation is bad bad bad! But this Hollywood clown was in cahoots people who pulled a $70billion caper on the california energy consuming public and to this day have gotten away with it!! I’m talking about enron folks, and how Schwarznegger let them slide on the 9bil lawsuit that x-gov gray davis filed . Remember that “meeting” Schwarznegger had with “kenny boy” in ’01?? You don’t!?!?
Well, at the time this meeting was exposed, the main stream media was glutted with “Vegas tigers, Kennedy wives, kinky sex and celebrity glitz.” (remember that poor tiger that tried bite it tormentors head off?? Thought so!) what a scam!! They use the heist $$ to bankroll bush and and stick davis with the blame for the blackouts!! HOHOHO!!! One other thing about this action at the Ritz, It sure was funny to see the cops shoving around the grannys, teachers, nurses and firefighters!! HAHAHA!!
(better watch out for those firefighters tho, I hear those guy are plenty tough!!) Must be easier to use those police state tactics on the hippie/punk/anarchists..…
Ya got to wonder if they think about what happens when THEY get sick , THEIR house burns, THEIR kids need an education!! Maybe the cops think they can shove their clubs/guns/pepperspray/tazers in the public service folks faces and get compliance. (maybe they would be correct!!)
Or perhaps the rational is “it’s a dirty job but I’m getting paid to do it-just following orders ya know”
I’m just glad that the man who would amend the constitution to be prez didn’t order the pigs to open fire!!
(remember, if you off a pig (and get caught;) it’s execution or life in prison for you, if a pig off’s you it’s a paid vacation!!!)
Anyway, here is even more pix of outside the historic Ritz-Carlton on 4_5_05. Enjoy!!
