Rodney,
Its becoming clear to me that you have little grasp on reality. Take a look at your post - you claimed that many speculated the protestors were trying to incite the police so that they could take leagal action against the city, you claimed there was evidence these homless people (protestors) were brought into the city by bus. Then you went on to make assertions based on these statements.
When I called you on it you sent me to a newspaper article for "proof" but the article said nothing about any of your claims. Nice going "Ace".
I've posted the entire newspaper article below so you can verify your apparent loosing grip on reality, Ace.

San Francisco protesters stage a 'vomit in'
Bay City News Thursday, March 20, 2003
------------------------------------------------------------------------
08:41 PST -- In a unique form of opposition, some protesters at the Federal Building staged a "vomit in,'' by heaving on the sidewalks and plaza areas in the back and front of the building to show that the war in Iraq made them sick, according to a spokesman.
Many of the approximately 300 protesters demonstrating at the building at 450 Golden Gate Ave. attempted to block building entrances.
Seven anti-war demonstrators were arrested at mid-morning as they sought to block a group of about 20 federal employees and other visitors seeking to enter the building, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Ron Rogers said.
Rogers said all seven were charged with creating a disturbance and two were additionally charged with resisting arrest.
Only the back entrance of the Federal Building on Turk Street was open this morning. People with business inside the building were required to wait outside and were allowed to pass through metal barricades at intervals. The seven arrests occurred during one of the intervals as federal police officers sought to lead visitors around the metal barricades into the building.
On the Larkin Street side of the building, demonstrators blocked the driveway that leads into a basement garage used by federal judges and other officials who work in the building.
Numerous officers from the Federal Protective Service and San Francisco Police Department, wearing helmets and other riot protection gear, formed lines around the building.
