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.

The lefties & race-baiters will run like scattered chickens once someone actually starts fighting back. It’s

I agreee with everything you say except this. The black communities and leftist own as many guns or more and are just as angry.

It will be years of death and destruction. Make Rwanda and Brundi look like small change.

"Obama’s president. All of California is a DNC liberal Mecca."

It is a mistake to think that they would be happy with Obama of San Fransisco's mayor: for far left, all this is insufficient. Witness the FDR, which was a lot more socialist than Obama so far: they grieve that FDR did not go far enough.

Don’t arrest them for breaking the law. We must understand their anger. Yup.

Oakland is one of the most dangerous cities in America. It looks like a nuclear war happened, but it was never cleaned up.

“At 3 AM most of them are up smoking crack and drinking malt liquor. Release the verdict at 8 AM and the thugs will be sleeping. “

Or maybe the third of the month. Can’t leave home because they don’t want their redistributed income stolen from the mailbox.

Sorry, it took me so long to reply, I'm back from the weekend now. I would say the black population is approx 13% of the U.S. population, and I would disagree that the angry black militants & lefties have as many guns as the rest of the conservative U.S. population. Lefties & black thugs are only used to firing at un-armed civilians & drive-by shootings. Once someone starts firing back, they scatter like chickens. That's why a handful of mercenaries in Africa could rout Simba guerrillas of thousands, in the Congolese civil war in 1964. And leftie-socialists in this country would never stand & fight. They're only used to bullying & bluster and then falling back on a corrupted judicial system and dumbed-down demoRAT voters to enact their socialist programs. Socialism will never give up without a fight, but against a determined conservative core population, we can rout the bastards and repeal the last 80 years of socialism....if we are able to get strong principled conservative leaders in place.

All the leftists I know are arming up.

And the corrupted judicial system is better armed than conservatives and belongs to them. They also have the world in their pocket. Conservatives will be fighting not only our leftists but worldwide leftists and anarchists.

No, CWII will be a horror beyond all horrors for our country.

They are pissed off because the cop got convicted of involuntary manslaughter and will be out in 4 years. Mean while, people are threatening the lives of his wife and newborn son.

These people can destroy, but they create nothing, build nothing.

They want everyone else to create and build. After the work is done they want it given to them.

In that case, it will be better to die free, than to live as a slave. Bring on CW II. I think that our true nation's patriots, once aroused will kick the asses of lefties no matter what. The day & hour is now at hand!
