This guy must be proud of himself but he is also exposing a security weakness to the Al Qaeda members. So, if the bridge ever got blown up, then, don't blame anybody but yourself and the San Francisco Police. Don't they even know that the bridge is targetted by the Al Qaeda? Stupid exhibitionists!!

Leave the olympics out of these useless protests and boycotts. Free tibet people just want to be noticed.

Its fine to want Tibet free, just stay off of AMERICA'S GOLDEN GATE. That is an AMERICAN icon, and its glory should not be tainted with the problems of foreigners. Tibet is not an American problem, and we will never be able to help them b/c of China's control of millions of our Treasury Bonds.
The point is they're endangering America. They could easily have planted bombs or something on that bridge. On American soil, and its a shame San Francisco doesn't have the balls to use riot police.

it's a shame that you dont have the balls to recognize that as long as there is opression in Tibet, along with its Chinese hypocrisy, there is problem in America too--the most insidious one by your indifference.
The reality is that ... ( 7 months ago by tomsepe)
The reality is that this protest did not "endangered America" That is your fear based, patriot-act-inspired rhetoric. No one was endangered and no one was harmed. And there was never any intention to cause harm. Look at the facts and be real.
The Tibetans have ... ( 7 months ago by tomsepe)
The Tibetans have been left out of the Olympics. The Torch is scheduled to go over Mt. Everest and through occupied Tibet. The Tibetans are being murdered, oppressed and kept out of their homeland - tell me how that symbolizes the freedom and brotherhood of the Torch? its hypocrisy.
Do you really think ... ( 7 months ago by tomsepe)
Do you really think that a terrorist organization such as Al Queda, that supposedly masterminded 9/11, needs a trio of non-violent protesters to figure out how to climb a metal cable on a bridge? Come on be real.
This is ... ( 7 months ago by tomsepe)
This is unfortunately not true. The Tibetans have been prevented from participating in the Olympics by the Chinese Govt. The Olympic Torch is scheduled to pass over Mt. Everest and through Chinese occupied Tibet. How would you feel if your neighbors had a party in your backyard against your will and didn't let you come? Not to mention that they were killing your family and destroying your tempoles and culture in the process?
Why were the Twin ... ( 7 months ago by coldeyeshk)
Why were the Twin Towers chosen? World attention because they were American icons!
Why was the Golden Bridge chosen by protesters? More attention, right?
Now, we know Golden Gate Bridge has weak security and it also is an American icon, would that increase its risk of being attacked?
All actions originate from ideas and I hope the protesters are not giving terrorists any more ideas. Though we have our differences, I don't think any Chinese want to see another 9/11 happening in the US.
Don't be silly. No ... ( 5 months ago by tomsepe)
Don't be silly. No one is going to burn the White House. There is WAY MORE SECURITY there. Stop fantasizing. Be real. And no these people are NOT going to be Bin-Laden. That's just absurd. Besides they are totally committed to Non-Violence.
You must be joking. ... ( 5 months ago by tomsepe)
You must be joking. Seriously dude. there are 5 million Tibetans and 6 million chinese in the army alone! Don't be stupid... The Dali Lama isn't: He's been advocating for Autonomy for decades - not Independence. There is no way that Tibet could strategically attack China. They couldn't even bring in enough weapons let alone have the manpower.
You'd be surprised ... ( 5 months ago by tomsepe)
You'd be surprised what the Chinese Governement wants... 1.3 Billion people - that's 4 times the population of the U.S. with one of the worlds fastest growing economies... meaning that they are consuming more and more resources everyday... and what are wars fought over? RESOURCES! One way or the other the world is going to have to deal with China - sooner or later. Do you want to be ruled by a country that is actively engaging in torture, random imprisonment and shooting range execution?

Agreed, I dought they would rule (unless or government starts to screw up...oh wait shit!) I really dont want to imagine it, but the way things are and are becoming, heck I wouldnt be surprised if Fallout's plot actually happens.
