Hapless Oakland Mayor To Ask “National” Occupy Wall Street Leaders To Help Stop Violent Oakland Occupiers…

Doesn’t she have a police force?

OAKLAND — Faced with ever-increasing violence between police and Occupy protesters, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan is seeking help from a new source: Occupy Wall Street.

Quan plans to ask leaders of the national Occupy movement to convince their Oakland cohorts to shun violence during their protests over economic inequality, officials said Monday.

“This splinter group inside Occupy Oakland — the ones who advocate violence — are not in sync with the rest of the movement,” said Sue Piper, Quan’s spokeswoman. “People who have been involved with the national movement — and a lot of people who live in Oakland — are really fed up with this splinter group. This is not what Occupy is supposed to be about.”

City officials estimated that about 400 people were arrested Saturday night following protesters’ attempt to take over the vacant Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center near Lake Merritt. Three police officers and several protesters were injured in a melee that stretched across downtown.

She might have a tough time reaching anyone, though. Occupy Wall Street, like all Occupy offshoots, has no formal leadership and little connection with other Occupy groups. Calls and e-mails from The Chronicle to activists within Occupy Wall Street were not returned Monday.

    Is she a MAYOR? I am clueless. Aren’t orientals supposed to be on the average….smart?

    She should ask the governor to send in the National Guard. The police are worn out from the battlefield conditions.

    I fail to be able to have sympathy for the pathetic leftist who is mayor of Oakland or for her constituency which elected her.

    She is a typical, feckless, faltering, leftist politician. No moral compass, no courage, no common sense, no clear thinking. That photo says it all. She is confused, tired, and utterly defeated.

    This is your brain on p.c. nonsense 24/7.

    I have no sympathy for this Marxist loon. She is the reason OWS Oakland gained traction to begin with. Now that she has to pay the piper, she runs crying for mommy. Boo-fucking-hoo.

  10. Xavier says:
    January 30, 2012 at 10:35 pm

    I think this is wonderful. Let the Mayor dither while the protesters run wild in the streets. Oakland has allowed this to happen by not following the law from the first day the occupiers arrived, so let them be the petri dish the rest of the country learns from.

  11. Sickofobama says:
    January 30, 2012 at 10:35 pm

    Stupid Commie mayor lets the occu-squatters destroy the city the first time around and now expects the libtards to back down?

    Soros and Obama and Van Jones have released the genie and it is not going back into the bottle.

    Oakland breeds rats, feeds rats, praises rats, and loves rats. Now they’re shocked – SHOCKED, I tell you – to discover that they have a rat problem.

    Stupid bastards.

    She has a house full of mice and her solution is to invite in the really big rats to try and talk sense to their brothers?
    I guess the next step after that when things get worse is to ask the Unions to send some folk to talk to the Occupiers.

    I knew an old lady that swallowed a spider.
    She swallowed a spider to catch the fly…..

    Obama eligibility challenges spread to 6 states

    An administrative law judge in Georgia could decide as early as this week whether voters in the state convinced him Barack Obama’s name should be removed from the 2012 presidential ballot because he is not qualified to hold the office.

    But win, lose or draw, the fight isn’t going to be over, as other cases are erupting across the nation, with challenges being raised anew even in Obama’s own adopted political network in Illinois.

    The Georgia hearing was before Judge Michael Malihi, and while none of the lawyers who appeared in the proceedings was willing to predict what the decision will be, several did confirm that Malihi had considered simply granting them a default victory, because Obama and his lawyers expressly stated they would not participate in a hearing to provide evidence that he is qualified to be on the ballot.

    It’s been obvious since it started, and now it’s obvious to the general public that gives a shit. Affirmative Action was a train wreck, and here we are! I’ve spent the last twenty five years working with and around government, and it’s been pretty knuckle biting to watch.

    It’s becoming a very sad time in American history.

    I do believe Ms. Kumquat has lost control of this situation and now needs
    to call in Captain Kickazz Barry with the navy seals and through his moral
    compass and leadership he can whip this little doggie doo in shape in no time
    flat.. Just look how quick he turned our economy around and saved or
    created 22 million jobs and this was by himself, just think what would have
    happen if Joe and his razor sharp mind had chipped in…

    I like to call Barry, Captain Kickazz because he is so verile, dontcha know!!

    Didnt that stupid RON DELLUMS used to be their mayor? If he was still in city hall he would have barred the police fro arresting the occupyers and would have allowed the burning of old glory himself

  32. Snowblind says:
    January 31, 2012 at 12:44 am

    @plover
    Yes, and Jerry Brown. Veritable who’s who of idiots.

    I think the problem is she knows exactly their plan, provoke the Mayor/Police into a showdown and then pull a Dennis:

    Help Help! I’m being repressed!

    I mean, she should know, it is the Democrat playbook.

    Something tells me that her time as mayor is running out…

    Sure, she was elected by the same constituents that elected Jerry Brown, but you’ve got to think that her dithering and inconsistency with the OWS mob is beginning to wear on the voters of Oakland.

  35. Katherine says:
    January 31, 2012 at 1:31 am

    This is what happens when you elect someone to an office simply because of arbitrary traits like race and gender.

    Unfortunately, those who didn’t vote for her will have to suffer the same consequences as those that did. And those that did vote for her will NEVER admit that their politically correct selection process was at fault. They’ll turn around and do it all over again.

    God I wish the TEA PARTY and OWS would find common ground and bring the corrupt democratic and republican party to their knees.

    We all have so much in common than we do apart.

    As long as they keep us Americans divided they have us under their control.

    Oakland is no longer under control by the City.

    Barry and his OWS Jihadists have assumed full working control of the City.
    It will be the epicenter of the Election Riots of 2012.

    Wasn’t the OWS Riots Squad a “leaderless” revolution?
    Now they are admitting to national leadership?

    Dear Mayorette…

    The leaders are counting on their troopers to take control of your City. They are NOT going to give it back.
    You might as well step down.

    maybe she could appease her city campers.. patchouli oil, maybe she encourage ows Oakland to set up a medical-marijuana tent and give free patchouli oil with every purchase of any size..

    that way, even if a ows-marijuana-patient can only afford to buy a 1g joint, they can still have some patchouli oil which will help to soothe their souls..

    man

    and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.. they are supposed to play CSN&Y man..

    I do remember that

    they’re doing it wrong..

    where are the Hell’s Angels? Did ows even bother to call them? bduh

    @friday – your news is good news, almost too good to be true news -
    if only the states have the stamina to see these challenges through

    If OWS spreads violence across the country (incited by the Pres, et al) – followed by martial law -
    and the likes of the Black Panthers patrol the voting sites . . . there is no way on earth we will have fair elections . . . and Chavez will, indeed, welcome, Zero into the fold

    The OWS violence will only be in cities that allow them to gather in their Ocupooper nests. Quan is an enabler that just got what she created, anarchy.

    Doesn’t she have a police force? From the picture, I’d say she doesn’t even have a brain.
    First she gave aid and comfort to the great unwashed mass of communist stooges, now when they have multiplied and been let off their leashes, she’s all scared and regretful that they are on a path of destruction that seemingly will not be stopped except at the point of a cannon.
