Marines denied shooting permit

"It's insulting, it's demeaning. This woman is going to insult these young heroes by just arbitrarily saying, 'no, you're not going to film any Marines on California Street," said Captain Greg Corrales of the SFPD Traffic Bureau.

He says Film Commission Executive Director Stefanie Coyote would only allow the Marine's production crew to film on California Street if there were no Marines in the picture. They wound up filming the empty street and will have to superimpose the Marines later.

"Ms. Coyote's politics blinded her to her duty as the director of the Film Commission and as a responsible citizen," said Captain Corrales.

We asked Stefanie Coyote why they're not allowing the Marines to shoot on California Street. She wouldn't answer our questions.

Marines denied shooting permit

There is just something odd about that combination of words... Aside from lawful orders and a valid target, what other permission do the Marines need?

Blocking the USS Iowa from docking? Banning JROTC from high schools? Attempting to prohibit Blue Angels air shows?

It's outrageous. Wow. Even for Kalifornia.

I think that SF is even worse than Cambridge (MA), which I didn't think was possible until just now.

When SHTF, those asshats will be screaming for the military the loudest.
