Facebook is getting hounded today from a group of protesters demanding the Bay Area-based social media giant remove photos of a smiling man gripping a gun with dead animals by his side.
Midwest hunter Aaron Neilson has been publicly condemned since earlier this month when he posted to his Facebook page images that some believe glorify the killing of endangered animals. The images show him posing next to the carcasses of lions, a hippo, a moose, a goat, and a polar bear.
An unidentified man jumped to his death this morning from the San Francisco Bay Bridge, police said.
Officers got a call at about 9:30 a.m. on reports of a possibly suicidal man standing on the westbound side of the new Bay Bridge. An officer was on the eastbound portion of the bridge when the call came in. Knowing he didn't have much time to get there, the officer parked his patrol car in the center divide, jumped the concrete platform, and ran through several lanes of traffic to the shoulder where the man was, attempting to stop him from jumping, says Officer Mike Ferguson.
"As soon as he saw the officer, he turned and jumped," Ferguson tells us.
And if PETA says so -- it must be true.
Whether you're a PETA fan or not, one thing is absolute about the Bay Area: We love baseball and weird plant-based diets.
So it's only fitting that AT&T Park reclaimed the no.1 spot on the animal organization's top 10 most vegetarian-friendly major league ballparks.
This is a nice victory for us, since the home of the Giants slipped from the top spot in recent years -- until now.
San Francisco, to the surprise of none, is a town that can hold its liquor. And not let it go.
Hunting for hidden cash is a dangerous sport. That's why the man behind @HiddenCash back in May penned an open letter to money-seekers about trying to keep composed and not stir up a mob-like scene when looking for the next hidden stash of cash.
But apparently, the desperate folks in Whittier, a city in Los Angeles County, didn't get the memo. A recent hunt in a city park created all sorts of expensive problems, including trampled plants, broken fences, and damaged sprinklers.
Not to mention, the police overtime that was incurred to calm the chaos.
All said, the scavenger hunt cost Whittier some $5,000 in damages.
