For those who may not be aware we know these national protests were planned and organized.

From https://storify.com/FeministaJones/national-moment-of-silence-nmos14

"What we need to do is develop quick FB pages, someone who does graphics can make a quick logo, maybe folks at @ColorOfChange"

ColorOfChange was co-founded by Van Jones and James Rucker (former Director Of MoveOn.org). They are known for "Organizing for Action"/"Organizing for America".

This map was used by organizers. It links to Facebook pages for protesters in multiple cities.

ColorOfChange likely set up the Facebook pages, as requested, provided the logo, and likely setup the google map. It's their specialty.

They provided an organizational template, people are directed to the websites, and "ACTION!" Organized for Action

And we know Holder's DOJ "Organizing" and "Coaching" Ferguson Protests

Did they not air the robbery tape in Oakland?

Times Square, now Oakland. Sounds like some community organizing going on there.

First picture appears to be the Walgreens drug store at Telegraph & 34th, across from the Taste of Denmark bakery (which I hope has spent some money on nails and plywood).

Second picture appears to be 40th and Telegraph, near the MacArthur BART station.

They didn’t get the memo, still think the guy just got singled out and shot for the hell of it.

What these cops should do is say fine, we’re out of here. You guys take care of yourselves. Then have massive walkout.

[berdie]

I guess I don’t “get” this. Since the whole story hasn’t come out...why protest? Or is it a looting thing?

Now if it went to court and came out with an unfavorable or unfair outcome, that might be different.

Mob mentality

Maybe the gun sales will go up in hyppi land.

Me. I am Kayla ‏@KayLamb510 1m #Oakland, where are the signs for #MikeBrown/#Ferguson? You are not marching or protesting anymore. You're waiting for a faceoff.

Just looking for an excuse.

[BuckeyeTexan]

It was organized in several cities. See Ray76’s info upthread.

I think the Riots Near You app is pre-loaded on every obamaphone.

[txhurl]

I’m looking around for the Louisville KY PURGE movement afoot and not seeing any threads?

[biff]

The hell with these people. People that are just looking for any excuse to steal from stores and burn them down. Let em burn their own damn houses down and then they can live in a dumpster. No more of my tax dollars for them to just pee away.

Congress needs to pass a law that says that every time the freeloaders act up and misbehave like this, their welfare is cutoff for that month so the money can be used to pay overtime to the police and firemen.
