These people are trying to gin up their “Kent State moment”. Rekindling the 60’s is what this is all about. Everything they are doing is escalating towards baiting a violence. Hopefully police are coordinating intelligence and began taking these occupypublicpark encampments down before anything spirals out of control.

I’d like nothing better than see these vermin tear gassed, beaten, arrested and locked up for a good long while - but that is exactly what they want.

Start playing classical music on big-ass speakers.

They will clear out right away.

You are correct.

I'm watching a live stream and the police are holding their line....punks milling around. Still very tense.

When my wife and I were at Cal in the early to mid 60’s, the Oakland cops were known as “The Blue Meanies” -— and wise marchers stopped just on the Berkeley side of the line ... :))

Oh, how our perspectives change: Up Blue Meanies! Down Occupiers!

Play the Chipmunk’s version of Achey Breaky Heart on a repeating loop.

That ought to violate the constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.

If I was them, I would want someone to shoot me.
