I’m starting a fresh thread on tonight’s Occupy Oakland “strike.” (Previous post and background here.)
They’ve welcomed the Black Panthers and Communist revolutionary thug Angela Davis, and are currently marching to the Port of Oakland.
Various sympathizers and observers are tweeting live. Mother Jones reports that the Oakland Whole Foods store — after being falsely accused of threatening to punish workers who walked out on the job today — has been vandalized.
One person on scene writes: “Straight into window breaking and street furniture smashing at whole foods. #generalstrike #occupyoaklandwindow breaking and street furniture smashing at whole foods.”
Whole Foods is defending itself online. To no avail.
A big mob dressed in black is roaming around the streets. They’ve sprayed graffiti on the walls of businesses.
Wells Fargo windows have also been reportedly smashed.
Chase Bank vandalized.
Maybe the city enablers will use federal stimulus money to clean it up.
Overheard on livestream: Occupier sneers: “They can afford new windows.”
East Bay Express reports that approximately 75 shoppers were barricaded inside the Whole Foods as protesters threw rocks and smashed the windows.
Livestream here.
I’ll keep you posted as they head to the port.
These professionas protesters are just like the Muzzies. The only way to beat them is to make them fear you!
IMHO, if this continues, what the city and state authorities need to do is cll in the Guard and use Federal Troops to put this down.
Nobody got killed by the police, but they knew he was not kidding.
Still early on the west coast...I am sure these goons are just getting started.
Mayor’s fault , Mayor’s fault
These people are only going to get more violent.
tear the whole city down nobody cares about California.
If the firefighters are on strike too, we could be rid of most of Oakland by morning.
Just shoot the basterds.
these actions get the Obama approval thumbs up
I think I’ll go throw some bricks through the windows of jewelry stores and take expensive watches that only the 1% can afford and redistribute them to me.
And if a police officer tries to stop me I’ll flash my Occupy card and he’ll give me an escort home.
Time to bring in the Quincy Ill. Riot Police!
"This does not represent our movement, we're peaceful protestors"
What am I looking at in the live feed ?
