I live in SF too, and I don't think that someone who was siting or lying down punch you in the face. They were probably standing when they punched you.

We should have a law against standing on a sidewalk. I mean, you could get punched in the face! for crying out loud.

Additionally, I heard when SFPD was on the NPR promoting the ordinance as a TOOL that SFPD needed - I dont think criminalizing shit should be seen as a tool.

Now, on the other side of the coin, I had walked out of Macy's in Union square, and there were protesters sitting right in front of the doors to Macy's protesting the anti-sit/lie law.

I said to them "Don't you think sitting in front of the doors and blocking access to the building works AGAINST your cause!"

Sure, I don't agree with making more laws to criminalize anything - we are enough of a police state already - but seriously, sitting in front of a business to call attention for your rights to sit is retarded!
