"OAKLAND, Calif. – Police clashed with protesters in Oakland after thousands of demonstrators shut down one of the nation's busiest shipping ports, escalating a movement whose tactics had largely been limited to marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September.
The confrontation began after protesters started a large bonfire in the middle of a downtown street. Dozens of police in riot gear moved in on hundreds of protesters as the flames leapt more than 15 feet in the air from several large metal and plastic trash bins that had been pushed together."
So these rioters shut down one of the nations largest shipping ports? How many people were kept from going to work because of this? How many shiploads of product were not unloaded? How many more businesses will collapse due to these mobs driving away customers?
You have a right to free speach and a right to assemble. These rights end when they infringe on the rights of others, including their right to use public space or to movement. It should have long sense been obvious that these mobs care nothing about the workers they are putting out of work.
Here is the real story! Cops shooting peaceful protestors point blank with tear gas canisters in obvious attempt to injure or kill them.
Once the people try to establish their natural place as the rulers of this country, violence will occur.
Government knows no other way than overwhelming force.
Before this is over, you will see drones attacking American citizens in the name of fighting domestic terrorism.
The truth is the terrorists are the corporations, and Wall St.
I wonder how a bunch of spoiled brats would fare against the police and the National Guard? I guess libs should have learned how to use guns if they were going to start a revolution.
Who in thier right mind supports violence in the streets? I guess liberals do.

Considering that the ratio of imports to exports through this port is probably over 20:1 the protesters are hitting our plutocrats where it hurts. Good move.
