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.”

But illegals who have been deported 6 times and shoot young ladies for no reason aren’t seen as terrorizing?
Hm… well I know I’ll never go to San Francisco again.
Ban SF from all goverment money, this would help clean up America.
Lol…idiots
Please Lord, help protect us from Loonies in government.
California has control of all the water in their state. I think they are doing secret experiments with their drinking water to determine what to use to make these people crazy.
If SF ever did pass a resolution banning them, I think every Veterans organization should organize a boycott of SF. No Conventions, meeting, etc. and make sure they know why.
The Military is almost completely gone from the SF Bay Area. I’m still living in California, but not by choice, circumstances have kept me from leaving this state that I used to be proud to live in.
I love the Blue Angels! I feel safe when they are around.
I was stationed in SD for three years. Don’t get me wrong I loved being able to hiking and do a lot of outdoors activities. To be honest I don’t know many that are able to afford Cali living. And the politics are atrocious. It truly is a f**e sense of freedom. 75% of the lower ranks in the military are on public assistance just to make ends meet. And you can’t tell me that taxes are properly distributed to education and infrastructure. It’s insane.
Give me a break! IDIOTS!!!
