    San Francisco police detained a motorcyclist who they said drove his bike at a group of protesters demonstrating against the federal health care bill in an apparent attempt to hit them, according to witnesses as well as photographs and videos from the scene.

    A few dozen people were staging a “die-in” early Wednesday afternoon on Seventh Street near Mission Street when the man on a red motorcycle appeared, said one of the protesters, 43-year-oldTracey Briegerof Emeryville.

    She said the activists, some of whom held up posters that looked like tombstones to decry the Republican health care bill designed to replace the Affordable Care Act, had planned to block the intersection for about 10 minutes.

    Protests are kind of a big yawner anymore... got to do something to liven it up, no?

  4. Blocking public roads in protest should carry a mandatory minimum prison sentence. Maybe 6 months or one year.

    Tired of left wing parasites infringing on innocent people's rights to have safe clear roads for emergency services to operate.
