No offense, but you are reading indymedia too much, their paranoid conspiracies are corrupting your brain!

LOL....probably right.

I read the story about the unions walking off the job because they were caught in the crossfire, but no body is pointing out, these are UNION THUGS for crying out loud. Here in CA Bush had to fight with these same Marxists earlier in his Presidency to force a compromise and keep our ports open. I'm sure they still have an axe to grind against Bush by supporting the Anti-Bush protestors.

I wasn't refering to the story but rather the post cheering on the police. Sure most of FR doesn't have a problem with what happened in Oakland but the post was so obvious, beyond funny comments that are the FR style and with a new poster.....yeah I'm probably paranoid.

But this is their game. They post something outrageous and try and get it covered by the media as the "true" spirit of FR. Thankfully FR has withstood these attacks.

So you think it was somebody on here posting this to give FR a bad name? Now I could also deem that conspiritorial, but I also think its interesting. After all the details of this are schetchy. That can also mean that its all the more reason to FReep the police to let them know we still support them.

Its coming out now that the protestors were throwing rocks at the cops. I'd shoot them with rubber bullets in a heartbeat if this pretentious filth did that to me.

I still stick to my conspiracy, that the Union has protested too much, tipping off an agenda. I think they were INVOLVED with this gathering, given what I said in the earlier post, and they have about as much credibility as the tie died fools. We need other accounts of what happened.

Don't quite get your confusion about the post. Nothing underhanded about it. I think we should let the Oakland Police Department know that we are behind them -- those protesting on the docks were trying to stop supply shipments the troops. That goes beyond freedom of speech or freedom of assembly. We are at war -- their actions are a problem. Still confused -- what is so difficult to understand??
