Protesters climb Lions Gate Bridge

Batman and Robin made an early Wednesday morning appearance atop of Lions Gate Bridge. Two men dressed in superhero outfits climbed onto the bridge’s thick wire cables where they hung a Canadian flag and a banner reading “Fathers 4 Justice” — an organization fighting for equal parenting rights under the eyes of the law.

Four men were eventually arrested in the incident and charged with mischief.

“Whatever these gentlemen feel their climbing capabilities are, this is distracting to drivers and potentially dangerous to themselves and others,” West Van Police Const. Jeff Palmer said, adding there are safer ways to get messages across.

One such peaceful demonstration occurred last Saturday. While anti-Olympic protesters broke windows in Vancouver, about 100 hundred people marched from Park Royal to the Lions Gate Bridge in a call for the Islamic Republic of Iran to respect citizens’ rights to freedom of speech.

Good stuff.

Although the Olympics would make for a better platform of protest.

Agreed but with all the heavy securty at the games they must have figured that they would most likely get shot if they tried anything there, all though that would really fan the flames if one of the members of f4j got shot while protesting at the games.
