More protests: Highway 24 blocked; vandalism, looting in Berkeley
SFGate ^ | 12-8-2014 | Kale Williams, Erin Allday and Evan Sernoffsky

Hundreds of protesters returned to East Bay streets on Sunday for a second night of raucous demonstrations against police killings of unarmed black men in Missouri and New York.

Sunday’s protest started out largely peaceful in Berkeley, but by 9 p.m. crowds had climbed past lines of California Highway Patrol officers onto Highway 24 in Oakland, where they blocked multiple lanes of eastbound traffic.

Even as the crowd chanted “peaceful protest,” a group of people jumped on top of two law enforcement vehicles and kicked at the sirens, and several set small fires nearby. Police eventually moved protesters away from the cars, one of them damaged by fire.

SNIP---

Later in the evening, large crowds still remained in the streets, migrating to downtown Berkeley. On Shattuck Avenue and nearby streets, some businesses were vandalized and looted, and some trash bins were set on fire. Downtown Berkeley BART station was also closed.

Any reason to go out and cause trouble, the left seizes on. Occupy all over again.

Maybe Whole Foods deserved it.

Remember, that was one of Obama's campaign issues in 2008--the high price of arugula at Whole Foods.

Had they lowered the price of arugula since then? Or had they continued greedily to exploit the downtrodden masses?

“Any reason to go out and cause trouble, the left seizes on. Occupy all over again.”

Take a look at the groups behind these “Protests”.

It’s the Occutards, all over again. WorldCan’tWait, Occupy, and an alphabet soup of Soros-financed radical Socialist groups, along with the Usual race hustlers and poverty pimps, rioting for $$$.

LOTS of video of last night’s rioting and looting, but NONE of it is on CNN. Yet, they are still pimping the “Cops killing Blacks!” meme.

The video doesn’t fit the MediaMatters-approved meme, obviously, and is detrimental to “The Cause!!”.

I wish I was younger... I'd hop a plane to Berkley and gladly put on one of those silly Guy Fawkes masks and make sure every coffee shop, marijuana dispensary and Communist bookstore in town went up in flames.

It would be a lot of fun to turn this on the progressives by destroying everything they love. BURN BERKLEY BURN!

It’s Berkeley. Let it burn down. I hope the fires take the hippies and occutards with it.

None of these protests have been peaceful. They all put innocent people and property at risk. Obama has given thugs a chance to break the law and not get arreted.

Let all protesters through out the land stop what they’re doing and head for Berkeley. You’d be doing us all a favor and would be quite welcome in Berkeley.

Back during the Cold War in the 1980s I used to hear of the USAF missile-men down in those holes going through targeting drills for the ICBMs and I heard that Berkley was always a major fun target to set for a dry run....

But maybe I'm confusing all of this with the movie with Matthew Broderick (sp?) War Games?

My buddy at Lockheed Martin said they used to pick various manhole covers in Moscow Red Square for targets.
