All over #OccupyOakland right now, not fully confirmed.

Apparently attempting to block the road - angry driver hit the protestors.

[Royal Wulff]

Oakland protesters have “re-occupied” the foreclosed building at 520 16th St, Oakland, CA (google map it).

I thought of Bonfire also.

BTW, in England speed bumps are called "sleeping policemen". Not sure why.

[CitizenReporter]

LOL.

[Does so]

A serious injury, and they let the driver go? That part of the story doesn’t sound credible

The woman passenger became "the driver."

[FreedomPoster]

Wow, more people “got” that than I would have expected!

Well-played.

[SunkenCiv]

Enforce the RICO Act! Thanks furquhart.

[CharacterCounts]

Well, they got their Kent State Moment alright.

I don't think so.

By the time of the Kent State shooting (1970), the anti-war protests were already several years in, and a large percentage of the population were against the war.

These people have no where near that kind of public support.

[who knows what evil?]

Arrest them all.

[BobL]

“seems to me people here are forgetting that running over a pedestrian is actually against the law.”

Depends on the circumstances. Since they released the driver, I have to assume the police figured what he did was not so bad.

[stevie_d_64]

50 if they were facing away...75 if they saw it coming...

x2...

Well, they got their Kent State Moment alright.

Re: Occupy Wall Street, 2011

He [NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly] said that following Wednesday's [Oct 12, 2011] 10,000-strong union march, a much smaller group tried to storm police barricades at Wall Street and Broadway.

"They locked their arms. They counted down - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. Then they decided to charge the police. That is going to be met with some physical force," Kelly said.

Re: Kent State, 1969

"the purpose of all this agitation at Kent State was to recruit as much cannon fodder as possible, and then to provoke a "major confrontation." When it came, it would be neither accidental nor spontaneous. It would be exactly what the revolutionaries wanted.

On April 8, 1969, S.D.S. toughs marched through various campus buildings, disrupting classes as planned, chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho chi Minh," and striking campus police officers. One of these hoodlums pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of assault and battery, and drew a fine and jail sentence. The university scheduled a disciplinary hearing for two others on April sixteenth, at which time about one hundred revolutionaries smashed into the Music and Speech building where the hearing was being held, destroyed property, and again attacked police officers. Of the fifty-eight demonstrators arrested, ten were not even students at the school. At the rally preceding the march on the disciplinary hearing, non-student Jim Mellen told the audience as follows: "We're no longer asking you to come and help us make a revolution. We're telling you that the revolution has begun, and the only choice you have to make is which side you're on. And we're also telling you that if you get in the way of the revolution, it's going to run right over you." Mr. Mellen's remarks were included in a liberally distributed S.D.S. pamphlet, which began with a quotation from Mao Tse-tung and the following warning: "The war is on at Kent State University ...."

At a meeting in Williams Hall on April 28, 1969, revolutionary Communist Bernardine Dohrn said that people fighting "oppression" would have to carry weapons for "self defense." On May sixth, at another campus rally, Joyce Cecora called for armed rebellion: "They used guns at Cornell and they got what they wanted. It will come to that here!" And at still another rally on campus on May twenty-second, S.D.S. member Rick Skirvin said this: "We'll start blowing up buildings, we'll start buying guns, we'll do anything to bring this motherf***er down."

Michener quotes a student named Ken Tennant as follows: "With me it goes back to the music festival they held at Fred Fuller Park in September, 1969. Four Weathermen came down from Chicago, with insignia on their bib overalls. They were selling their organization newspaper, and I said, 'I'll buy a copy if you'll tell me what your outfit stands for.' They said, 'We're going to destroy this corrupt American society and build a better.' I asked how, and they explained, 'We've decided to close down schools all over the nation. We're going to start in Chicago. But we have our eye on Kent State, too. It could be ripe.' "

Bear in mind that we have room here to cite only a few examples of the inflammatory agitation and propaganda on the campus at Kent State for almost two years. The evidence establishes—in the words of the revolutionaries—that the goal of S.D.S. was to provoke a violent confrontation in which somebody would be hurt, or even worse.

And the most incredible such example took place on April 10, 1970, when Jerry Rubin spoke on the campus at Kent State. Jerry Rubin is a Communist, of course. We can be absolutely sure of that because he has said so repeatedly. In fact he said he was a Communist when your reporter asked him about it at the Democrat National Convention in Miami in 1972. At that Convention Rubin also said that, when he and his Comrades take over, your reporter will be gassed. At Kent State, Communist Jerry Rubin said this: "The first part of the Yippie program is to kill your parents. And I mean that quite literally, because until you're prepared to kill your parents, you're not ready to change this country. Our parents are our first oppressors."

Your first reaction on reading a thing like this, of course, is that maybe I have taken it out of context. You refuse to believe that anybody would say this. But Rubin really told the students what you just read. It is important to remember that, at the time, Jerry Rubin was a convicted criminal—he had been convicted for leading the turmoil at the 1968 Democrat National Convention in Chicago, where terrorists attacked the police—which raises the question of how such a man could be permitted to address students on a university campus in Ohio.**

Rubin also told the Kent State students to burn down the suburbs. "The American school system will be ended in two years," he explained. "We are going to bring it down. Quit being students. Become criminals. We have to disrupt every institution and break every law. We should have more laws so we can break them, too. Everybody should have their own law to break." As for the campus itself, Comrade Rubin told the students to ignore their professors, and to "burn all the books. It's quiet here now but things are going to start again."

The campus was now ready. Almost two years of intensive Communist propaganda had their effect. A sufficient number of students was willing to serve as cannon fodder for the revolutionary "cause." The Communists needed only an excuse to provoke their "major confrontation." Three weeks later they got their excuse.

"...it is important to quote at length from the state grand jury report on the affair: "Fifty-eight Guardsmen were injured by rocks and other objects hurled at them as they moved across the 'Commons' to Taylor Hall Hill and down to the practice football field, and were then forced to retreat .... it is clear that from the time the Guard reached the practice football field, they were on the defensive and had every reason to be concerned for their own welfare .... The circumstances present at that time indicate that 74 men surrounded by several hundred hostile rioters were forced to retreat back up the hill toward Taylor Hall under a constant barrage of rocks and other flying objects, accompanied by a constant flow of obscenities and chants such as 'Kill, Kill, Kill.' Photographic evidence has established, beyond any doubt, that as the National Guardsmen approached the top of the hill adjacent to Taylor Hall, a large segment of the crowd surged up the hill, led by smaller groups of agitators approaching to within short distances of the rear ranks of the Guardsmen.

"The testimony of the students and Guardsmen is clear that several members of the Guard were knocked to the ground or to their knees by the force of the objects thrown at them. ..."

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:

Larry Grathwohl:

"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

Someone needs to call the 1% bikers to clean house.

“I think we need new tax laws,” she said. “We all need to share more of the burden.”

I love how people "volunteer" others to share. Stupid me, I always thought that sharing meant you did it willingly.

[Diogenesis]

Would not be surprised if a Democrat Obamaite ran
over the protester (as planned).

[ETL]

They wanted “change and hope”,this is what you get from Obama. Race relations,economy,housing, foreign policy etc....all down the sewer,and yet there are those that want the “monster” voted in again for 4 more years. Sick!

A lot of the far left are actually angry with Obama. They apparently don't think he's destroying America fast enough.

[Lockbox]

Just like the 99%, they bring their body and the 1% brings their body (a Mercedes). Guess who won!

1st the 99% don't understand applied economics, now they don't understand applied physics.

I can see it now, 'I'm Protesting, I'm Protesting' screams the 99%. 'I'm driving' yells the 1%. TWACK

[Celtic Conservative]

That's a real stand up guy, letting His girl take the rap. Losers on both sides of this story apparently.

Frankly, from the reports, I’m not sure what happened. First it said killed, then it said seriously injured, then it said a broken leg (which is serious, but usually not life-threatening) and then it said there were two people and then...well, who knows.

But I’d say the scenario is that these people were in the midst of the crowd, which was no doubt pounding on their car and had them trapped, and then pulled forward to escape without knowing that somebody was lying on the ground in front of them. Be that as it may, this will as you suggest just be propaganda for them, and that’s probably why the reports are so confused.

I remember years ago in New York when some “progressive” minister went and lay down on a construction site where the leftists were protesting the demolition or construction (I don’t recall which) of a building and a bulldozer backed over him. The driver had no idea he was there, was horrified when he found out what had happened, and the leftists had a field day.
