OAKLAND -- A crowd of as many as 100 protesters marched through downtown Friday, breaking car windows and a window at Barack Obama's local campaign office.
Officer Johnna Watson, a spokeswoman for the Oakland police, confirmed in an email that a window of Obama's campaign office at 16th Street and Telegraph Avenue was smashed.
Police also confirmed that several car windows were broken. The protesters began organizing about 9 p.m. and marched up Broadway.
Police also said they were following the protesters during the march.
Can’t say I am sad they vandalized obama’s campaign office. lol
Wait for it:
ABC says it was Tea Party
Since they’re lawless - and the political persuasion isn’t mentioned in the first paragraph - can we assume ‘democrat’ or democrat protected victim group?
Hmmmm, I can’t seem to find what they were protesting about. Must have been something the msm does not want us to know.
NBC has doctored the tapes to make it look like middle class white men...
Yes indeed. Your comments are then backed by a lack of photos which would most likely confirm their membership in one or more victimhood groups. We’re a cynical bunch, aren’t we??!!?? LOL
A report on FoxNews identified them as the Occupy movement.
The DNCp now says they were Tea Partiers? Just once I’d like to see the DNCp taken to court and have to pay out a massive settlement or fine.
I'm guessing that particular act of vandalism was performed by a false flag provocateur in the otherwise clueless crowd.
This will appear to distance Obama from the general Occupy movement, and be used by the media to portray Obama as more centrist.
The article doesn't say, but I'm reasonably sure it was Holder's people, trying to re-distribute wealth. Were there stores to loot? (If they voted on the merits of a candidate, rather than his race, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.)
Once they start destroying property, they aren’t “protesters” anymore.
Sorry, I don’t do sarcasm tags. I know it makes some of my comments a little hard to follow, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.
No doubt Christian conservatives miffed that Chick-fil-A ran out of food.
OAKLAND, Calif. President Barack Obama's campaign office in Oakland had a mess to clean up Saturday morning.
Around 9:30 p.m. Friday night, some demonstrators broke away from an Occupy Oakland protest march and smashed the windows of the campaign office on Telegraph Avenue.
They were protesting a police shooting that took the life of an 18-year-old high school student in May.
Just wait until Nov. 6th it will get worst, as Obama will be defeated...
so prepare..its how they get attention
What you said BUMP. I feel the same way.
