This is what happens when you have a whole neighborhood that doesn’t have to get up for work in the morning.

You mean a whole neighborhood from Oakland? LOL Many of the people in this neighborhood have regular jobs and hate what's going on.

Even so that is the intention of that group....and why they want violence to raise the rest of the cities into a revolution...and have stated as much.

Well, time to call it a night. — gotta get up at 6 for work in the a.m. Must be FUN to stay up all night and protest, collect welfare and just generally not give a sh*t about anything.

Suggest a lifetime ban on EBT/SNAP cards for anyone causing trouble.

There are already lifetime bans for felonies and some misdemeanors. But you kind of have to be convicted of something first.

well, it looks like it has settled down for right now, but the night is still young...
prior to the police ramping up, there were crowds all over, walking mostly on boths sides of the street. the crowd started to move on to the street, and the police started to tell everyone to get back on the sidewalks.
I'm not sure what the original incident was, but all of a sudden, the camera switched to show the police rushing into the area, telling the protesters to disperse, as things started to be thrown at the police.
the noise maker and a bunch of vehicles were used to move people off the street, then some of them went off down to what is thought to have been a market down the street where something was happening, and things started to calm down to the stand off that we have here.

Prior to the break: “He said a lot of things. He gave a lengthy response but he didn’t answer the question.” Smith regarding a question to Obama whether he would go to Ferguson.

Because many there probably aren’t working...there’s only a couple hundred and many reporters....the majority have gone home.
