Masked and angry, rioters cause chaos [Oakland, CA - The Bosom of Progressiveness ]
Oakland Tribune and Mercury News ^ | July 9 2010 | Cecily Burt

As the verdict reached the streets, hundreds converged in downtown Oakland for mostly peaceful protests before swelling to a crowd of more than a thousand, with a hard-core splinter group of rioters clashing with police and wreaking havoc in downtown.

By late evening, hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the Bay Area had descended downtown to help local police quell the protesters. Wearing black masks, many looted stores, smashed windows and rolled trash bins into the streets while setting them on fire. At one point, protesters began throwing M-1000 fireworks at law enforcement officers and other demonstrators.

Stephen Allen, a 22-year-old protester from West Oakland, got caught near a mob that broke through the gate of the Foot Locker shoe store and looted the store of sneakers and sportswear. Moments later, a masked man, in one swift and violent blow of a long object, broke the window of the Far East National Bank across the street.

Oakland rioters = Mostly peaceful protesters.

non-violent Tea Party members = dangerous radicals.

The usual suspects among the pictures -- blacks, of course, since they are the designated victim group de jour, but also masked anarchists, liberal Obama voting whites arms locked in a chain, and a lovely wise Latina wearing a "Hecho en Aztlan" shirt.

Keep saying it over and over again -- "Our diversity is our strength!"

They ignore the law with illegal alien support, and riot in the streets when a jury decision doesn't suit them. These people can destroy, but they create nothing, build nothing.

The veneer of our "multiculture" is thin indeed.

The anarchists are merely just misunderstood spoiled children that are just acting out their frustrations with our oppressive social system and have a superior plan for how man/women/unknown should live.No sarcasm line is needed.

If they broke the windows on my store, or damaged my property, I’d shoot them. That is what needs to be done to these worthless thugs. A few masked corpses laying in the street will deter others from joining in the festivities.

Never underestimate. The footage of a Tea Party interspersed with all this mayhem. charlie Sheen could play the defender of rights for looters and even turn a burning Police car over and save one officer. He would be like the big hero. All lies and crap like Nam.

Anyone with new tennis shoes in the Oakland area should be arrested for grand larceny. Especially if they don’t fit too well.
