Anti-Marxist group plans to block Golden Gate Bridge in Wednesday morning rally

The newly created Facebook community Conservative Rustles, headed by apparent San Francisco resident John Walters Monroe, has invited Identity Evropa and the “alt-right” to gather at Lincoln Boulevard and U.S. Highway 101 around 9 a.m., then march to the Golden Gate Bridge.

“The City of San Francisco government has made it clear that they support Antifa,” Conservative Rustles wrote in the event posting on Facebook, referring to “anti-fascist” groups that have counter-protested at many right-wing rallies.

On the event page, the group said, “We will not let traffic pass until the city of San Francisco agrees that ‘Antifa’ is a terrorist organization. Why should we move if you support a terrorist organization?”

Organizers also invited any parents in attendance to bring their children, because “Antifa wouldn’t dare hurt the future generation of America, or would they…?”

According to the Conservative Rustles Facebook page, the group is “all about denying communist ideology in any way shape or form.”

Monroe did not immediately respond Tuesday to an email requesting additional details about the event, himself or his group’s anti-communist ideology, but his invitation to Identity Evropa may signal an association with fringe elements on the far right.

If they look like tourists, park & flashmob it they probably won't be stopped by law enforcement as a group.

Problem for them is, the tolls are automated now with RFID so no one slows under 15-20mph. And on a weekday morning there is no chance of an empty "slot" where they can all just run out on the road.

They will never make it to the bridge. And should one get through, they can expect to get splattered.

Popcorn? Just made a fresh batch. Though I would feel very bad for any driver involved.

Alternatively, they may drive up Lincoln together, fan out and just stop their vehicles side by side. It'll take a few minutes for those big tow rigs to move them, enough time to do whatever they came to do.

Although one has to hope they are thoroughly infiltrated in any case, but now? No way.

We we see tomorrow, I suppose.

I hope no drivers are injured when they splatter Nazis, if I turn out to be wrong.

They hate that government helps the poor and wants to abolish the concept of civilization. Truly sick bastards.

He said what their against... that's easy. What economic system are they for? How would they implement.... whatever it is? Pretty stupid to tout what you don't want. Or maybe he means a different word and doesn't know what it is.

no doubt the idiot antifa will show up and give them what they want. National attention.

Pelosi and Berkley mayor just denounced Antifa. If they keep showing up and being violent they are going to cause problems for us in the midterms. We need to disassociate as much as possible . Every RW radio/TV show tries to tie them to us.

because Trump and the GOP have the stink of Nazis on them, after Charlottesville.

But sorry, no one is going to buy an equivalence between "Antifa"- whoever they are- and tiki torch carrying Jackasses with swastikas.
