SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A man protesting the looming U.S. war on Iraq fell to his death from San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday as he was hanging a banner, officials said.

"He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now."

Anti-war sentiment is strong in the San Francisco Bay Area but the death of the man in his 30s was the first related to the latest protests over the U.S.-led war against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

How many can fall of the bridge without filling up the Bay? Ah, screw it, go ahead and fill up the Bay, San Francisco smells like a hookers crotch anyway.

Maybe we need to form our own anti-protestor group. Everytime these liberal types start protesting, we in turn protest against them for all the eye/ear pollution they create. "They are impeding my right to a protest free environment!" Wonder if it would hold up in the supreme court.

Quick officer, arrest that man with the anti-war/Bush sign, he's hurting my eyes.

Whata think 1*, would you go for it?
