SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A man protesting the looming U.S. war on Iraq fell to his death from San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday as he was hanging a banner, officials said.

"He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now."

Anti-war sentiment is strong in the San Francisco Bay Area but the death of the man in his 30s was the first related to the latest protests over the U.S.-led war against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Well, there went the perfect groom who will never be for the bride (the woman who got squashed by the dozer in Israel) who will never be. Thankfully, they didn't meet and have kids.

After 4 days, I'm still not able to generate any sympathy for that splat.

Same goes for the dozer stain.

I heard about it.

I just wish the whole bridge woulda collapsed under them.

Good!

Glad that loser fell.

I had heard that he jumped, heard he fell.

Dunno which is better....
