A San Francisco municipal official has apparently endeavored to prove the popular perception of the city as a bastion of loopy liberalism and self-flagellating anti-militarism.
Most Americans are used to occasionally hearing the sound of planes flying overhead, thanks in no small part to sports games and other popular events in which jets ceremonially fly over excited bystanders. An example of such an event is San Francisco’s Fleet Week, which takes place ever year and sees the six F/A-18 fighters jets of the Blue Angels squadron pass over the city.
While this has thrilled residents for years, City Supervisor John Avalos claims that many don’t feel so hot about the Blue Angels. On the contrary, he argues that most residents oppose the presence of the jets and feel they cause “terror” when “they strafe neighborhoods.”
When one Twitter user challenged Avalos about the validity of his claims by noting the jets were more popular among San Franciscans than the city’s Board of Supervisors, the official countered with an incendiary comparison to the popularity of segregationists in the Jim Crow South, saying that it “didn’t make them right.”

CUT OFF ALL FEDERAL $$$ NOW!
Ridiculous!!!
maybe if they had been taught to have pride in their country they wouldnt feel terrorized. sounds like the AR15 PTSD guy too. Sad.
Pretty soon they’ll ban the Navy Seals from training and California firstly I don’t have a problem with them Banning it that gives the rest of the country more opportunity to see them. The air show in their flying skills are just too awesome to miss. Make your home at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida the weather is great and the people love to see you
If planes flying over head is a bother how about you stop all planes from flying that way the people won’t be flying in from other country’s and offending us Americans.stop the ships from coming in to.keep those idiots over in the big sand box.
Cut Califexico off from the rest of the county. If events seem to be getting out of control in the USA it is because we have watered down our population with low intelligence, low information buffoons that all want a handout.
What???

But if the Muslim had a kamikaze air show over their city I bet they would be all for it.
