San Francisco protests against Wikileaks

Categorized: Activism

While silver-haired Wikileaks editor and James Bond villian standin Julian Assange remains a polarizing figure in both global and domestic politics, the era of the "Arab Spring" has cast Mr. Assange's beliefs in openness at all costs in a more generous light.  That isn't to say he's without detractors; one of which is this sign on 16th St., which calls for an end to Julian Assange.

Personally, I don't condone violenent rhetoric, and would like to call on The City and County of San Francisco to please remove this sign and replace it with a gentler message.

I, for one, particularly like this "gentle" message: http://uptownalmanac.com/2011/03/can-we-evict-lady-sf

And for those of you who think I'm trolling -- remember, hipster is short for "hypocrite."

You don't know what "hypocrite" means, do you?

I don't think that word means what you think it means, Sameer.
