Now you can understand why I call it San Fran Freako, the sewer by the bay or the toilet bowl by the bay.

Do you have a link for this "story"?

The only thing I have been able to find is that they are concerned about safety, given the recent accidents that have occurred;

San Francisco City Supervisor Chris Daly is sponsoring a resolution seeking to halt the Blue Angels performance there in October. The resolution has been referred to committee for study.

Daly spokesman James Keys said the supervisor is worried about noise from the jets and the danger of a crash into a building. But Keys said Daly would consider a compromise that might involve the team flying over the water.


Mannix said San Franciscans have raised similar complaints in previous years.

"I'm not really worried about it. We meet a lot of issues in a lot of different cities every year. The people of San Francisco have invited us and we will continue to go at their invitation," he said.

"It is an important city for us from a recruiting perspective. But we would not go some place we feel would be unsafe to operate out of, that's my opinion as a commanding officer."

Some peace activists have also called for protests at shows in San Francisco and elsewhere, saying the team promotes war.

There is a big difference between "some peace activists calling for protests" and the city "trying to outlaw the blue angels because they make war look cool".

BEGIN QUOTE ]SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - The annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1981 that pumps millions into the local economy — is running into opposition from three local peace advocacy groups that are calling for a permanent halt to the popular Fleet Week flyover.

CodePink, Global Exchange and Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69, are working with Supervisor Chris Daly on a Board of Supervisors resolution to address concerns over the Blue Angels.

Daly acknowledged he is considering a call to halt the flyovers because, he said, “they seem dangerous and unnecessary.” Daly said he plans on introducing the resolution as early as Tuesday, but is still drafting the language. A resolution is not legally binding, but states a board position.] end quote

Of course this will NOT be proof enough for Davad.

There is nothing in what you quoted that says anything about the city outlawing the Blue Angels because "they make war look cool", as he said.

San Francisco has long hated the U.S. Military. Of course, they love anyone who kills American troops.
