Oakland Occupiers Go On A Rampage…
Of course, because didn’t all Tea Party events devolve into mayhem? Errr, maybe not.

The police did nothing. The politicians laughed and cheered them on. The people stood helpless. This crime wave is getting worse.
expect the same during the elections
it’ll be much much worse during the elections,you mark my words.
“Persons committing acts of violence and vandalism are, by definition, not a part of OWS”
Wow! What a bunch of Emo douchebags.
These Occuparasites® are finally earning their Soros paychecks.
And thus it begins;
wait until these malignant-tumors-on-legs metastasize across America.
May God help this Nation.
Bravo Mayor! Well Done. You (mayor of Oakland) are a fucking Idiot!
Shame someone didn’t have balls enough to shoot the bastards.
Next will be the anarchist weapon of choice, FIRE.
Shhhhh. Let them do their thing. They are protesting. They have no clue as to WHAT they’re protesting, but let them do their damage. They acknowledge they are representing the Left, and the Left acknowledges their support. Shhhhh. Let them do their thing.
So much for breaking the law!
Our president is promoting this crap.
Congress needs to act to stop this crap, and reign in the littlest dictator and his anarchists.
Agree minuteman26, but the trigger puller would be cuffed and riding in the back seat while these thugs continued to godzilla the city.
..atease
I’m disgusted.
I feel sorry for the people who have to live amongst those criminals.
The police did nothing?
All companies would be wise to close down for good in Oakland.
And the people who are able to move away should.
This is what you get when a fucking nation of idiots votes in a stranger they know nothing about except his skin color.
I hope those people in Oakland supporting the fucking anarchists have their due coming – especially that disgusting excuse for an affirmative action mayor.
Citizens, defend yourselves and your property. The authorities have abandoned their trust.
Why is this being allowed to happen.
THIS IS EXACTLY JUST LIKE THE TEA PARTY!?!?!?
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope police get serious, and arrest these lousy, piece of shit bastards.
I look at it this way. These people in the uber liberal inner cities deserve everything they’re going to receive. I have absolutely 0 pity for anyone that resides or works in Oakland.
In an interview a few minutes ago, a police spokesman said the rank and file were assigned to the fringes of the protests and had zero presence at the core.
KRON4 news has completely ignored the damage at the banks and focused entirely on the grocery store shown in the photos above.
Those “anarchist” are staged. They always are, every time.
Notice its the same bunch of folks, doing the same stuff, with the police letting them do it, right in front of the Media!!!
How in the world can the media film them but police can’t stop them!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I remember news video of riots in Oakland or Watts back in the late 60s or early 70s. Angry people were protesting and it eventually deteriorated into riots, looting and fire bombing. The one thing that stands out in my memory is a bunch of Koreans defending their little store from the looters and idiots. The Koreans had machine guns of all things, and by golly their store was not molested.
Hot lead trumps misguided indignance and and mindless protest.
Cops=Union goons.
@tarkas:
Trouble is, however, that the Koreans were put through the legal shredder so-to-speak just for defending their property.
Wow! What did the supermarket do wrong?
aren’t they just some lovely people?
/sarc
@SandyfromChesterfield
There was a rumor (since proven untrue) that the supermarket said they would fire any employees who participated in the protests. 75 people were trapped inside for 15 minutes while the vandalism occurred.
I’m amazed that no one shot one of these violent people.

It certainly won’t be a union cop.
DEAR PARENTS, I BET YOUR KIDS WEAR SKINNY JEANS. LIKE THESE JACKOFFS. PLEASE LOOK IN THEIR CLOSET, TY.
Don’t come to my hillbilly town, or even the country outside. They’d have to bus the people in because we don’t have those idiots in this part of the woods. Once they get here, they’ll be surprised at the reception they get. This is big city crap; the majority of Americans don’t abide by this. Here in the countryside, we take care of this stuff ourselves. Wait on the police? Get real.
Aren’t there ANY law abiding LEGAL gun owners in Oakland?
Isn’t The Castle Doctrine a reality in California?
How in the HELL can GOOD people stand back and do nothing?? This is sheer anarchy, and if the police WON’T act, Patriots MUST act!
On the Michael Berry show today the elected rep for the Oakland PD called in saying that the mayor of Oakland sent out a memo on October 28 giving all city workers, except the entire police department, the day off Nov. 2nd to participate in the “general strike.” All scheduled police vacation was canceled too. He sent an open letter on Nov. 1 asking what sense did it make that she would give city workers a day off, with pay, to protest against the very city they work for, and for that matter what was it she expected the police to do? I’m listening to this part of the program at about 4-ish central time today, and the rep was saying at that time the Oakland PD were doing nothing with no forth coming orders from above.
Does anyone know what time this destruction of property was taking place, and what, if any police action was taken? Because I am smelling some stinking, rotten fish.

http://www.opoa.org/uncategorized/an-open-letter-to-the-citizens-of-oakland-from-the-oakland-police-officers%E2%80%99-association/
In part:
“To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.
That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?
Meanwhile, a message has been sent to all police officers: Everyone, including those who have the day off, must show up for work on Wednesday. This is also being paid for by Oakland taxpayers. Last week’s events alone cost Oakland taxpayers over $1 million.”
Today was “Whistleblower Wednesday” on the Brian Sussman morning radio show (KSFO, out of SF Bay Area). It was first-hand reported that some Oakland police were so angry about Mayor Quan’s “handling” of this situation that they were threatening to quit.
The police and the mayor’s office are at loggerheads about this, as she has encouraged and sympathized with the OWS people instead of backing up her police force.
So I’m not at all surprised that there was little police presence at the “core”–they know they’ve been thrown under the bus by the mayor’s office.
(BTW, Bay Area Patriots has been documenting the development of the Occupy Oakland events. Will forward videos as they become available.)
Coming to a city, town, and village near YOU, between tomorrow and Election Day 2012.
.
Watchful waiting.
TexasFred, are you a GOOD people? Then stop standing back and doing nothing. Get involved! Get active! Get angry! Get yourself armed and ready to do business! Everybody else in this nation is armed: Government, military, national guard. Everybody else is UNarmed: citizens. Get the point?
Ah I love one-side reporting. I’m sure none of you will hear or read about reports of protesters physically driving off the Blac Block Anarchists that had latched on after realizing what they were about. Nor will you see the pictures or hear the accounts of protesters cleaning off the spray paint the anarchists sprayed on buildings. Also the police recognized that Blac Block Anarchists were not part of Occupy Oakland (look at them. They’re dressed in all black and wearing bandannas over their faces. Pretty distinct) and dispersed/arrested their group within the hour of their actions. Knowing all this I’m sure you will stop using an extremely small sect of radicals to make general assumptions about all of Occupy Oakland.
Tl;dr
Violent anarchists are not considered apart of the Occupy movements. They were drive out. Have a nice day
Wait until these anarchist dbags run into the crips or bloods. Can’t wait personally.
If we are sure a major earthquake is coming to the SF area someday, am I a bad person for hoping it happens tonight?
That looks like the Seattle WTO riots. However, the businesses eventually got smart and boarded up their windows before all of them were broken. It took months before all of the sprayed paint was gone. Trouble is there doesn’t seem to be an end to this one. For the WTO, we knew eventually the WTO would end and these anarchists would be gone. OWS are nothing but anarchists because they want to destroy anything that has to do with the rule of law.
I do feel sorry for businesses that are probably now ruined because of these people. Smaller, single owner businesses cannot survive this kind of attack.
This is all on the mayor. The cops had them completely cleaned out and then she invited them back in and told the police to leave them alone. In fact, she even encouraged city employees to join in. They need to invoke whatever means possible to get her out of office ASAP before innocent citizens get killed.
@TickTock–
“Blac Block Anarchists” wouldn’t have had any opportunity to perpetrate mayhem if Oakland hadn’t allowed these protests to go on and on and on and on…. If you can recall, OO has been going on for a long time, with plenty of “home-grown” outrages. Any outside anarchistic embellishments are just icing on the cake.

That is criminal action. They are breaking the law. Arrest the vile miscreants. And that means the window breakers as well as the mayor.
@MaryfromMarin:
I did see a video on KRON4 of a guy dressed in black vandalizing a building and being stopped by a fellow wearing a bike helmet. The crowd pulled him off of the vandal who then escaped.
driving off the Blac Block Anarchists that had latched on after realizing what they were about.
———————————-
after the other leftards realized what the anarchists were about?
Really? What gave it away?
WOW… some super stupid there..idiot leftists..
@TickTock: “I’m sure you will stop using an extremely small sect of radicals to make general assumptions”
Then add in the rapists, commies, nazis, drug sellers, car shitters, guillotine builder(s?), socialists, I’m probably just scraping the surface.
Gander Mountain sporting goods is running a special. 1,000 rounds of 5.56mm for $229. Pretty good price point if you are looking to stock up.
Just sayin.
This is purely the result of public education.
@ MaryfromMarin
Please make sure you post the link to Sally’s videos. I went back to the Bay Area Patriots to find her video interviewing the Owies and I could not find it. I hope Sally puts the videos on YouTube.
The police stood on the sidelines and who can blame them. They would be demonized for any action they took, even if it were to just blow their noses. In the meantime, their pay and pensions stay the same………
And here we are. Just where we knew this was leading.
The stores that were damaged need to sue the mayor for the destruction of their property.
And I don’t blame the police. What were they supposed to do without the Mayor’s consent? The Mayor created this moment with her stupidity, now let her pay the price, all of it.
____________
And this crap about blaming it on a few anarchists who were supposedly ‘outside of the Occupiers’ group is bullshit. We’ve seen the videos, we know how the Occupiers react to any effort at control. They started this whole bullshit movement of complainers, criers, whiners and lazy drug addled, entitlement minded Leftists. They are responsible for whatever happens.

If this doesn’t work, you can go to “American Thinker” and look it up under Sally Zelikovsky, on October 17. The video is embedded at the bottom of Sally’s article.
When the newer ones are distributed, I will post directly to ZIP.
@ MaryfromMarin
I missed Brian this morning – Wednesdays are usually a good blood pressure test.
I’m dying to see the TV news tomorrow morning – either it went completely as planned and was totally peaceful, or (gasp) one or two miscreants ruined it for everybody else, try as they might to make them stop.
Or, most likely it was the police over reacting causing the poor people trying to flee their wrath running into windows and such.
In case you haven’t heard, a vehicle hit 2 protesters earlier in downtown Oakland. Police were on the scene immediately, and the driver of the vehicle was allowed to drive away. Reports started coming in that 1 person died, then they said the driver did it on purpose because he was mad at the protesters. Now they’re saying the protester was murdered, and the police are complicit.
Let me be very clear: there is NO CONFORMATION that anyone has died. I did see photos of an injured but obviously alive person receiving treatment. But given the fact the protesters are leaving the port now and on their way back to the park, and there are lots of rumors flying around about this, things could get messy.
None in the tea parties ever did what these crinimals are doing pandamonium and cuased by masked and hooded cowards Someone should at lease be able to take a gun and plug one of these pigs
If you are running around w/your face covered you get shot. Period. End of story.
A Clockwork Orange
Pull your business out of Oakland.
The SOWS protesting are usually from out side the area and don’t care what happens to the city.
Just keep on voting the same crappy politicians in to office.I noticed that the majority of the protest was centered in Oakland.Is Berkeley a no go zone?
Remember, Obama and select democrat leaders have come out publicly in support of this … In for a penny … In for a pound.

Shoot ‘em… once a shot is fired, guess who’s crapping their pants now! Break a window to show your not happy, well, the cop gets to shoot you because they’re not happy, sound fair? come screw up my office building, I will shoot… I have no tolerance for stupidity like this…
This time the link posting worked! I only wish I knew what I did right….
these occupy folks are useful idiots, morons, leftover and wanna-be hippies, and union astroturfers but, to be fair, the limited amount of vandalism today was committed by a very small group of ‘anarchists’ called the black bloc, not the general crowd.
Start wasting these fuckers. Yesterday.
Looks like a typical day in Oakland.
Maggie:
So did Boehner and Cantor.
They won’t be so tough when the dogs and live rounds are eventually used.
Of course this is all part of the show.
Those glass windows will be paid for on additional charges when you try to get money. Thanks turds.
These worthless pieces of shit would’nt work if they had a job………this shit needs to end and end now before a police officer gets hurt or worse, killed by one of these low life vermin…..
Where I come from, those people would have had guns pulled on them by the bank owners and fellow citizens.
Our society is so deeply infected by communist wannabes it ain’t funny. I also don’t blame the police on this one – the mayor threw them and the town under the bus. Can you imagine what would have happened had they used bullets and shot a city employee – the mayor and her ilk would have had a field day with the police. The voters need to get rid of her.
Don’t get me wrong – I think it was time for bullets, but without any support, the police would have been screwed and called a rogue organization, etc.
As I’ve been saying for weeks now,
Barry’s OWS Riot Squad.
If this was a Conservative movement (which of course it couldn’t possibly be) that was rioting, Barry would have called out the troops a long time ago.
THIS is exactly what Barry and his minions want… rioting in the streets to be able to declare martial law and cancel the elections.
At what point will the use of deadly force be authorized? I don’t like seeing businesses and personal property being destroyed by people who face no consequences for their actions.
@ El Guapo
Consequences?
In Oakland, the Mayorette will probably give them medals and offer them positions in the City government, as long as they join the Union, of course.
Why aren’t there any pics of the cops stomping these pieces of shit into the cement? What the hell kind of mayor tells their employees to go down and participate in this?
This is the new soft Marxism…………..
Marxist mayors will never attack the base.
Expect a statement from OO this morning blaming the violence on 1) anarchists not involved with OO, 2) the police, and 3) the mayorette.
Just wait until Saturday 11/5.
Who is going to pay for the damage? Was anyone arrested and if so are they being heavily fined? I am so tired of these animals destroying others’ property and livelihood and getting off with no real punishment. They are cowards for hiding behind masks also. Until the punishment is swift and severe this nonsense will continue.
We are seeing the Class War that Barry called for.
He is not going to stop it, not even call for “peace and understanding”.
His next speech will be to rally his troops and shutdown the government.
BTW, this will be the end of Obama. The majority of American voters will now see this as HIS doing, HIS idea, HIS Class War.
He is finished.
uzi.
‘LOOK! I’m only going to say this Once!
You get EVERY one of those mayors on the phone and tell them that ANY interference with my PEEPS! will come with consequences,
Yeah, that’s right, you remind them of all the loot we are sending them to prop up their Failing Pension Plans and ALSO remind them that all That $$ can disappear, REAL quick’
‘Isn’t it beautiful (Beaming), Community Organizing!’
‘I really Miss it.’
‘HEY!! Tell the Acorn and SEIU organizers to MAKE SURE and distribute my old Saying!’
‘They bring a KNIFE!, WE Bring a GUN!’
‘What could Go Wrong?’
“Not a lib says:
I look at it this way. These people in the uber liberal inner cities deserve everything they’re going to receive. I have absolutely 0 pity for anyone that resides or works in Oakland.”
I hate to say it, but you’re right on the money. Those idiots keep voting for socialists and idiots like the mayor of Oakland and other Democrats who support the Occutards. You reap what you sow.
KRON4 now reporting 50 arrested; Mercedes driver intentionally ran down 2 protesters blocking road was let go by police; local blacks tell protesters “go tear up your own city”; port still closed, vehicles being forced to turn around, no police presence.
This was their Goal all along !
But,now the Union Workers can repair all the damage is done during this childish actions.
More Jobs “Saved or Created” !
Last night they blamed the window smashing on local window repairmen drumming up business.
O.* is never at fault, never responsible, never accountable.
Get used to it.
All wearing the latest nike designer trainers, expensive jeans, rucksacks and iphones and ipads: these types of action requires plenty of money for spray paint and their stupid outfits. Send in the army!!
Dang! I forgot to mention that night before last a sudden “emergency” call went out from OO for fire extinguishers. Since they couldn’t have fuel or fires in the camp, it was obvious they’d be used during the strike somehow. They filled them with white paint and used them to spray graffiti, one was shown on video after the Whole Foods incident.
AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE TEA PARTY?
Lock ‘em up and give each one a hammer.
No food, no water, no toilet, just a hammer.
Survivors will be prosecuted for murder……
Wait till the Sharks are eliminated in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
