Show 2. Thft f?rilina Sun. Wednesday. December 1. 1993 San Francisco - a hostage city EDITORS NOTE: T wo area men wcni to San Francisco to be of assistance to church members there. This is their story. On the evening of September 19th a group of militant homosexuals about 100 strong, converged on the property of the Hamilton Square Baptist Church at Franklin and Greary Sts, in downtown San Francisco. Regardless of what their original intent was, what happened resulted in the attack upon and terrorism of the members of the church, the church property, and the complete disruption of their regularly scheduled services. Church attenders found protesters at the entrances barring access, church property was damaged, the shouting and pounding at the doors made conducting the regular services absolutely impossible. Repeated calls had been placed to the city supervisors to provide police intervention. Not only were the rioters allowed to continue their barrage, but the rioters, city supervisors and bulk of local media have categorically denied the incident tod: place at all. There is however, indisputable evidence in the form of many credible witnesses, and both video and audio records of the incident. Monday, November 9th, 51 days after the riot, an entourage of 400 Christians were granted a hearing before the city supervisor to basically give testimony concerning city negligence in not moving to stop the violence when cries for help came in. The radical homosexual community was also rallied and prepared for confrontation on that day. Over 200 pol ice escorted the group of Christians from the site of the riot to the San Francisco City Hall. Two local men participated with the Christians in this meeting --- Dan Kondor, of Gunnison, and Pastor Jonathan Edwards, of Salina. It was indeed a very exciting and even frightening experi- ence, Pastor Edwards recounts. It semed rather strange that when there was a full blown riot on a church, the city of San Francisco offered no police protection for the church or its members, and yet when a large group of traditional valued people gathered at city hall (home turf of the homosexuals) a huge police presence was ordered by the city. I suppose the questions that come to my mind are...Who was the city us or the homotrying to protect sexuals? Or was the city trying to improve their image in the presence of many out of the area visitors? Regardless, it was reassuring to have this kind of protection, the pastor continued. - About 400 people were crowded into the supervisors chambers, as well as about 150 listened just outside, via the PA system. Angela Allioto, chairwoman for the board of supervisors presided. She strictly warned everyone in the building that there would be no clapping, display of placards, hissing, booing, blowing of whistles, and that violators would be physically removed from the chambers. Dan Kondor noted that the chairwoman had obviously experienced the methods of operation used by the militant homosexuals, and she did threaten to clear the chambers several times during the ensuing discussion. The format was to allow one speaker from each side to speak for three minutes. The homosexuals basically denied that anything resembling a riot took place the night of Sept. 19th. Some admitted being there and participating. Most of the gay and lesbian speakers spoke of the Christians as hateful bigots, fascists," and killers of homoI dare say that there was sexuals. not a Christian present who truly hates any homosexual, let alone has had any part, directly or indirectly, in killing any one of them, said Pastor Edwards. Personally, I hate the sin of homosexuality, but as I looked around that day, I have never seen a more desperate, miserable, angry collection of humanity, and my heart was broken for them, he continued. The misery and demise of homosexuals is and to pass the blame onto traditional valued people is just not honest, he added. An associate pastor from the Hamilton Square Baptist Church stepped to the podium and played an audio tape made from the pulpit microphone of the sounds of the riot. The sound was literally deafening as the rioters beat on the doors - and now echoed in the halls of the city building. This was the first time I had actually heard a tape of the riot, comments Mr. Kondor. It was incredible! Claims that no riot occurred were never brought up again. At one point as a Christian was making his way to the podium, he was tripped by a male homosexual. As he gave his three minute speech, a majority of the homosexuals stood up, turned their backs to him and hissed like snakes. When he finished and was attempting to return to his seat, the same homosexual tried to trip him again, and then spit on him. At this point, the police moved in and arrested the individual for assault, and literally had to drag him from the chambers. The other gays and lesbians scattered throughout the building immediately ran to the scene, surrounded the arresting officers, and self-inflicte- d, began shouting and causing a major scene. When this tactic failed to stop the arrest, several homosexuals moved to the area where some Christians were standing for lack of seats, and began bumping into them and then cried out for the police to arrest them (the Christians) for assault. The best comparison I could make concerning this scene, would be that a group of three year old toddlers throwing a violent temper tantrum, and their mother (the city supervisors) trying to coddle and placate them without ever disciplining them for absolutely unacceptable behavior, said Pastor Edwards, as Ms. Allioto allowed the behavior to continue unchecked. Two questions came to mind, Who is in control here?" And, if the Christians had acted this way, would they have been met with the same tolerance? Outside the hall a violent eruption took place when the arrestee was dragged through the doors, resulting in two more arrests. Several times during the meeting the noise generated from the homosexuals outside yelling and blowing whistles disrupted the proceedings. Just as the pastor of the attacked church was to give his testimony, one of the supervisors (an avowed homosexual) made a motion to adjourn (a precedent taking motion) which was passed, and all the people in the hall were given two minutes to clear out No comment was made by the supervisors, and no action has taken place as of the time of this writing. As the group of Christians were leaving the building it was to the tune of a familiar Christian song, however, the words were altered and sung by the homosexuals: Onward Christian Bigots, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus, bashing gays and lesbians. Paster Edwards concludes, My personal feelings concerning this entire event are one of nausea. I heard several say, Oh, you need to understand, this is San Francisco; we are a very tolerant city. My response is no this is the United States of America, lawless violence is never to be tolerated in any case, particularly against a church. The actions against this San Francisco church would be just as . wrong and just as in need of punishment if they had been commit- ted by a Boy Scout Troop, and not a radical homosexual coalition. San Francisco is truly a city held hostage by homosexual terrorists gangs. A person with traditional family values would probably be as safe in Bosnia as in San Francisco. The city supervisors need to see to it that these acts of violence are punished, and if they refuse, the citizenry of San Francisco needs to place in office those who will maintain liberty and justice for all.
