PICS, etc, of the Bush statue being toppled in San Francisco

[arcane1]

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

this was without a doubt my favourite rally/protest ever! I cheered, I sang, I laughed, I wept, I chanted, clapped, you name it.

Going to an anti-war protest is one thing; going to a "bring down the government" protest is a warm fuzzy feeling all its own :)

The nazi salute, and giant cowboy boots, were a nice touch

[davidinalameda]

27. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night

[arcane1]

29. I know the feeling :p

[davidinalameda]

I just gotta remember that it's coming :)

[ronnykmarshall]

38. PROVE IT!!

[arcane1]

39. ahh dammit

I knew I'd get called out! I'd say the DU Gallery would prove it, but those pics suck :P

[ronnykmarshall]

[Stephanie]

5. then did you stomp on it?

cool pix - thx

[arcane1]

10. they wouldn't let us near it after it fell

though I wish they had made his head from a big balloon or beach-ball, so we could have pulled it off and bounced it over the crowd ;)

[petgoat]

34. bounce it over the crowd

That's a great idea! Why don't you write [e-mail] and suggest it?

Better yet, give 'em a call at 415.864.5153.

[arcane1]

37. I just might do that

I suspect this ain't the last we'll see of "toppled Bush" :)

[Beaverhausen]

6. LOVE IT!!!

[lonestarnot]

7. Woooodamn hoooo san fran!

[babsbunny]

Thanks!

[Vektor]

9. Sweet! How many were they able to fit in the square?

Anybody have any idea? Looks like a great crowd.

[arcane1]

12. app 100 times more people cheered this statue's fall...

than the number who were cheering the Saddam statue :evilgrin:

[Vektor]

16. And rightly so!

Saddam sucked, but Bush ACTUALLY IS an imminent threat to the U.S.!

[jus_the_facts]

[petgoat]

40. Some More Pics

This one's from local abc news:



And for further inspiration--even you can't build a thirty-foot statue but probably you can get some used sheets and do this overlooking some commuter route:



Not a very good picture, but I understand local TV news shot it from a helicopter and it was quite striking saying "Bush Step Down"

[arcane1]

50. There's no doubt you should be able

to see that from commercial airliners coming in and out of San Francisco if this is in their flight path.

[La Lioness Priyanka]
