San Francisco and Berkeley are known as liberal bastions that are the home of protests and free speech movements in the past, but today that legacy continues to live on. In opposition to some of China's foreign relations, three protesters scaled the Golden Gate Bridge to hang a "Free Tibet" flag. It's pretty ridiculous to think about how high up these guys are! Check out the video and lemme know what you think.

Maybe they are some Chinese acrobats. Anyway, good time for Tibet to be getting their cause out.

I ride my bike over the GGB sometimes. Even at "street" level, the wind can be scary strong. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to climb up those suspension cables.

Hell, I don't even climb on the roof of the house much anymore. Can't imagine doing what these folks did.

I give them major kudos for having the guts to pull that off. What I don't get is where the GGB security was. Geez, spiderman was climbing the bridge...what were the security folks doing? Getting a soy latte?
