Tuesday Morning Topline: Sikh Group Protests at Indian Consulate

  • This latest atmospheric river storm is dumping most of its rain to our south, but there is a high wind advisory in place until 9 p.m. The SF Peninsula, the South Bay and the East Bay can expect to see gusts of 40-50 mph. [KTVU]
  • Protesters smashed windows and injured workers at the Consulate General of India on Arguello Boulevard in SF on Sunday, as the group tried unsuccessfully to enter the building.

  • There was a big gang of motorcycles on the Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday, numbering 100 or so, which took over the southbound lanes and then exited toward Fort Point.

  • SF Supervisor Myrna Melgar now says she is calling for a hearing to address youth violence like the recent brawls at Stonestown, and the recent middle school stabbing.
