OAKLAND (KCBS) — Glass from shattered windows, graffiti, and debris littered the streets Saturday in the aftermath of Friday’s May Day demonstration in Oakland. As the cleanup effort got underway, the damage was described as the worst seen in years.
Late Friday night, violent protesters broke windows at businesses and damaged dozens of vehicles along Broadway’s Auto Row. They even set cars on fire.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff said it was a very small band within the group of 300 or so demonstrators, who were responsible for the damage.
“They came with rocks in their pockets and malice in their hearts,” said Schaff. “There is a huge difference between cowardly vandalism in the dark of night, masked and cloaked by large crowds and what is an incredibly important conversation that this country is having.”

The Democrat base is having a little fun and exercise, doing what they do best, giving us hope and change.

Started by labor unions, including one that represents gov’t workers for the city.

Yea, it’s always those outsiders, probably from Mayberry.

What incredibly important conversation are we having?
Maybe the Oakland A's should call themselves the Athletics once again and move back to Kansas City or Philadelphia?

Same with the Seattlunatics. The “peaceful” protesters went home around 7:00 and the nutburger ninjas started carousing around the same time.

The rioting is happening in Democrat cities in Democrat states. That’s the only way Obama’s minions can get in and get the rioting started.

A few years back, I had to work in Oakland on occasion.
It is not a nice place, for anyone.

Although there are a lot of black skinned Americans in Oakland, and they've been involved in a lot of these demonstrations/protests/mini-riots of late (Oscar Grant; Occupy Wall Street, ‘Black Lives Matters’) — the real trash causing the damage, and inciting the mob, are the white skinned Anarchists.Looking at the arrests afterwards may be interesting. And if any of you watch live coverage of one of these riots, look for the people wearing clothing that hides their faces.
