Well, we have three morons already scaling the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge in protest - wait till you see it on TV - pretty amazing the lengths sdomeone will go to - they have put many lives in danger by this stunt - someone not paying attention to the road below them may end up crashing - one of them might fall off the cable onto the road or water below…Just another Monday morning in SF.

Nice to know the bridge security is on their game-
