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.
the live video came up for a few minutes and showed a mob starting to shout and chant as police ordered them to disperse via bullhorn. Didn’t see anyone complying and it looks like they were spoiling for a fight.
That’s when the live feed switched to a canned propaganda ad that they keep looping.
Anyone know of another live feed not associated with the occupiers?
Apparently a guy in a Mercedes got fed up with the mob blocking him and ran a bunch of them over. The police took his info and let him go, probably concerned for his well being if he stuck around. The mob got his plate number though so he’ll probably be hearing from them sometime later tonight. Didn’t see anything on fire... yet.
"Ah is da 99%."

What offense do you believe justifies a “guy in their Mercedes” to “run somebody over” and the police just lets the guy go?
Are we schizopherenia?
This is a complete sham.
I’m suprised that Free Republic would actually proselytize this...
