OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Hundreds marched in downtown Oakland Saturday night, demanding social justice and showing solidiarty for protesters in the streets of Portland who have been in a standoff with federal agents for more than a week.
While the majority of crowd peacefully protested, a handful of demonstrators turned violent, vandalizing Oakland Police headquarters and setting a fire inside the Alameda County courthouse.
Agitators within the crowd of demonstrators have set the Alameda County Superior Courthouse on fire. Please avoid the area. We are calling for peace and to have safe spaces and safe places for tonight's demonstration. #WallofMoms pic.twitter.com/qYIcUONlgh

Giving us the excuse we need!
However, the windows were smashed peacefully, indeed, the windows sacrificed themselves to show solidarity with BLM...

It’s a little like Hamas’s civilian vs military wing. Or the Sinn Fein vs the IRA.
“a handful of demonstrators turned violent”.
SO IT WAS FIVE VIOLENT PROTESTERS?
FakeNewsMSM is complicit.
I’m so happy these riots are mostly peaceful!
It is to laugh.

Burn. BURN!!!
Let’s say that 500 people are protesting “peacefully.” And 50 are “agitators.” The “peaceful” folks outnumber the agitators 10:1. If they really wanted peace, wouldn’t they be able to surround each agitator with 10 people and force the issue?
Now pull the other one.
Those elusive oh so “peaceful protesters” again.
Aren't they just cute in their serene peacefulness.
Maybe we should just import some non peaceful protesters from Mars to do the real burning, looting and anarchy.
Oh wait.
Well, yeah.
SF Chronicle, for some reason, had no news coverage of this.
I guess we'll read more about it tomorrow morning.
More stores looted and gutted in the name of "social justice."
Funny thing, when I asked the security guard at the bank (earlier this afternoon) if it was being boarded up because of the rioters, he corrected me and said "protestors."
Looks like that racist POS CONgriftwimmen Babs Lee owns this little shindig.
Those who point lasers at police officers and firemen should be shot as armed attackers. They want to shine lights in the eyes of the police? Well, let the police return the favor with laser sights and “light them up” with lasers and bullets. Fair is fair.
I know that is any Marxist/anarchist shit tried that to my son when he was a federal police officer (and combat sharpshooter), the only light remaining would be from the big hole in their head.
Screw with the best, die with the rest!
It was a “mostly peaceful” fire.
Someone with cancer has “mostly peaceful cells,” after all. Are they called healthy?
Why should the president have a plan for dem cities allowing their own destruction.
This is a republic.
Trump is not a dictator. He can’t send in the military and shoot them all down (too bad)
The tens of thousands of troops needed are already in each city...in the form of police departments.
Not Trump’s fault they won’t use them.
Gonna make voting very difficult in these big cities in November.
Who knows? Might work in our favor.
These freaks don’t want a fair election.
They want an overthrow and EVERYTHING FREE.
I’m sure there are fine people on both sides of the issue!
;)
Is this still about Loyd George? Do they even know why they are protesting? Probably not.
It doesn’t really matter.
That is it. Let these hell holes burn. They reap what they sow.
