The Vermont shooting was rumored to be self-inflicted from what I read. Is that the latest?

Yup. There it sits. Darndest thing. One day, it was the good old plaza. Next day, why, there was an encampment sitting there. Just sitting. Not doin' nothin'. Sitting.

I mean, if I were that reporter, I would have written it like this:

"The Occupy Oakland encampment occupies the middle of the plaza."

I mean, you know, in honor of the name they've given themselves.

Soon the leftist politicians who welcomed these protests will be faced with the choice of watching with the rest of us the increasing violence within these infestations or sending in cops to crack skulls.

Either way they're screwed.

A shooting is not very likely to happen there, because Oakland and California have such strict anti-gun laws. We all know that here at FR..

Everything about these people is self-inflicted.

But, yes, the police are saying the Vermont shooting was self-inflicted.

Perhaps they were discussing the allocation of the 20K in donations the OWS group deposited at Wells Fargo. I wouldn't think anyone would be so reckless as to deliberately fire a weapon in downtown Oakland. That carries severe punishments and fines. :)

They said he was shot in the woods, but it turns out he was shot in the lumbar region.
