City Closes Alamo Square Park; Patriot Prayer Scrubs Planned News Conference
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A press conference scheduled for Alamo Square Park in San Francisco Saturday appears to have been called off by organizers who planned the conference after canceling a Patriot Prayer rally at Crissy Field.
Joey Gibson, whose Facebook profile indicates that he manages Patriot Prayer, posted on Facebook around 9 a.m., So they closed down Alamo Center Park. I appologize [sic] for everyone that spent money and plane tickets to come down here. Stay tuned.
By saying, Stay tuned, Gibson appeared to be leaving the door open to Patriot Prayer actions elsewhere Saturday.
Reached by telephone, Ansen Hatcher, who described himself as a former organizer of the Patriot Prayer rally, said, The event is no longer being held. The Alamo Square press conference is canceled due to it being blocked off by police today.
