Riding the bus in Oakland this morning, I witnessed a bit of that sentiment. The lines were experiencing delays and detours due to the "Occupy" protests downtown.
So at one stop we picked up this older gentleman, about in his sixties or seventies, overweight, irritated, with a face as pink as the sport shirt he wore.
He began ranting about the protestors, saying at first that he supported them because they were for the resurgence of "the working class" and he was "a union man" from a long ways back, but then paused and said he wasn't so sure about that now because they'd caused his bus to be delayed by 35 minutes.
