Getting ready to be cleared once and for all.

Police surround Occupy Oakland camp

Quote:
Clad in armor and riot helmets, they stood in lines and surrounded the camp near the corner of 14th Street and Broadway adjacent to Frank Ogawa Plaza, where dozens of demonstrators have been camping to protest economic inequity and corporate greed.

Although the camp has dwindled in recent days from about 150 tents to 60 or 70, some protesters have defied repeated orders by Oakland police to leave.
This is the MOST violent of the occupy sites, with a number of violent anarchists as members. They rioted, vandalized and attacked the police last time they were "cleared"....let's see how this one goes.

Quote:
Drug use and violence have increased at the camps, leaving downtown workers intimidated and business owners crippled economically, city officials said.
You'll find this at virtually EVERY occupy encampment.

Hope we get a live feed.

We.are....the99%

Video - Live video: Police raid Occupy Oakland encampment at Frank Ogawa Plaza - San Francisco | Examiner.com

That chant is so dang stupid.

Thepeopleunited...willneverbedefeated!

Your problem? The only ones you've united are the FRINGE Left, anarchist, commies and socialists...and really, not even a very good job at that.

Take all their stuff and dump it in the nearest dumpster.

Wow, a rooster is calling.

Surely these idiots must realize they DON'T have the people behind them?

If they did, if they really represented Americans, you would see tens of thousands out in force.

God, can that juvenile guy screaming "we've got the power" please stop. This is something you'd hear at a playground full of spoiled brats.

They are so concerned about the press they're getting, the tweets, what people are saying, who's watching the video, but if they had a lick of reality to them, they'd realize most watching are waiting for the circus to start, LAUGHING at them.

OMG, she just quoted that poem obama used - we are the one we've been waiting for.

Do these imbeciles realize how stupid they look?
