300 arrested in daylong Occupy Oakland protests

OAKLAND - Dozens of police maintained a late-night guard around City Hall following daylong protests that resulted in 300 arrests. Occupy Oakland demonstrators broke into the historic building and burned a U.S. flag, as officers earlier fired tear gas to disperse people throwing rocks and tearing down fencing at a convention center.
Saturday's protests - the most turbulent since Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment in November - came just days after the group said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub and threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.
An exasperated Mayor Jean Quan, who faced heavy criticism for the police action last fall, called on the Occupy movement to "stop using Oakland as its playground."
"People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior," Quan said.
Protesters clashed with police throughout the day, at times throwing rocks, bottles and other objects at officers. And police responded by deploying smoke, tear gas and bean bag rounds, City Administrator Deanna Santanta said.

There is no legal defense. She is powerless to really stop them.
Unless she jails them for terrorism and holds them indefinitely without bail they will be free to continue indefinitely.
Until the price becomes prohibitively costly for the bad guys, there is incentive to continue.
I’m a bit confused. I thought the DIMocRATs Convention wasn’t until, late summer...and then in North Carolina.
Fixed.
"Yyyyyyyeahhhh. Ummm. I'm gonna need you to forward that sentiment to Pennsylvania Avenue. So-o-o-, if you could just do that, that would be great."
That is a good thought.
On consideration we might conclude the raids in Oakland are actually rehearsal and tactical training exercises for the convention.
It is California and there is likely a series of film crews recording the events for training seminars across the country. Although they were not able to be there, moonbats in Cleavland will be able to see the film and attend a training lecture prior to their trip to Charlotte
"Mary Jane, you ignorant, misguided Mayorette. If America-hating Commies like yourself and your friends stopped making excuses for this kind of behavior, Liberalism itself would cease to exist."
Stop arresting people and fining them $10.00 and turning them loose 30 days will slow them down a bit.
Are they still doing that? I would think they would have gotten tired of living in their own filth by now..
If this is Oakland California there will be a handful of occupiers camped out ten years from now.
***Until the price becomes prohibitively costly for the bad guys, there is incentive to continue.***
The expenditure of a couple of hundred rounds of 7.62 BALL might wake them up-fast.
“HEY! Rioting ain’t fun no more!”
Thanks Libloather.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
One funny thing about OWS is that they make life miserable for people in urban, left-leaning locales. I think they call it Karma.
I am glad to see everyone fall into line with the CorpaGovernment/Bank divide-and-conquer scenario, but I look at it this in a different way. The “class warfare” is being incited by the banks that destroyed the economy, so we fight with each other instead of the people who really run the country and tell Obama what to do. (Obama’s second biggest contributor is goldman-sachs, where his eminence grise’, little Timmy Geithner, is from.)
It’s amazing how some of the MSM is spinning things.
A lot of papers are saying OWS threw rocks and the police used teargas and flash grenades, and OWS wantonly tore down a fence. It certainly looks like fair action-reaction. Yet the British newspapers say the police used teargas and grenades First, so the crowd threw rocks in defense, and tore down a fence to escape since they were boxed in.
Teargas and flashbang is nasty stuff - if you’re Sure you wouldn’t throw a rock and try to escape, maybe you’ve never suffered either. Teargas doesn’t just make you cry - it makes you retch and puke out every bit of mucus in your body, for an extended period. People need to stop living in comic books. But my point is, there is a Big difference between cause and effect as reported by some of our MSM, as opposed to British papers. Personally, I tend to believe British papers more than our own corrupt media, which I have noticed often gets it dead wrong.
Hateradio, meanwhile, is saying they’re all communists. Well, communism is dead and I doubt many OWSers have even read the Manifesto. That’s fantasy and agitprop. But those lies are inciting many uglies to say the OWSers should just be shot for simply exercising their First Amendment rights. I might note that the DHS says “rightwing agitators” are potential terrorists, so many we shouldn’t be so smug that “it’s okay cuz’ it’s happening to them.”. Remember Martin Neimoller: “..and then they came for me.”
Most OWSers are just students and Former victims of globalization and banks, who cannot find jobs in a wrecked economy. You could be next so again, don’t be smug. I’d sure hate trying to find one, now. But I worked all my life and now have Social Security. Although I’m getting damn tired of hearing it’s an “entitlement” when I had Real money taken out of my paycheck for it every week. It was an “investment” the same as any other you would deposit real money for every week Calling it an “entitlement” is another hateradio lie.
Personally, I think the people who advocate shooting those who exercise the increasingly weakened First Amendment or the rest of the Bill of Rights, are the ones who should be shot as traitors. Don’t they realize how the Bill of Rights is under assault, and they are using Division to get us hating each other so they can kill the Bill entirely?
Thjs is all done, of course, on behalf of the Banksters. People forget that is who OWS is really criticizing. The monsters who destroyed the economy and control the President, are getting off Scott free, and those who dare criticize them are made the bad guys by government-inspired agitprop, as the media falls in line with our new police state, a la the NDAA.
I’m just Amazed people don’t see this, from either the right or the left. They will have us hating each other until the Powers march us all into camps.
It’s no coincidence that the biggest donors to Congress and the President come from the financial industry - and “donation” (bribes” are up five hundred percent.
But the CorpaGovernment’s divide-and-conquer routine is working well. Protect the banksters by getting the hateradio crowd, who will also end up in NDAA camps when the time comes, to hate those who are trying to protect the nation from the ultimate power of the Fed.
BTW, the police are not to blame. They are doing what they are ordered to do, and taking orders from the Department of Homeland Security, which takes its orders from the banks.
Utter and total nonsense.
I spent weeks researchging OWSers and they were planned, organized and funded by Communist Party front organizations, Soros funded organizations, Axelrod friends and former Weathermen, ACORN founder Wade Rathke, Unions, and the like.
At many of the OWSer groups they have had ultra hard core leftist books for sale, anarchist/communist flags and symbols and the like.
You are full of excrement, sorry to be so crude, but you are. This sentence is so crazy:
Most OWSers are just students and Former victims of globalization and banks, who cannot find jobs in a wrecked economy.
No, most OWSers are either hardcore leftists, professional rabble rousers, professional street people, losers, dopers, Ron Paul supporters, and the like. I’ve done my homework, and I call your bluff.
This is liberal performance art gearing up to thump old Romney 1% like a drum.
