Gosh, I can't imagine why black Oaklanders would be fed up with Berkeley kiddies invading their town and trashing their businesses in the name of "revolt" or "liberation" or "Oscar Grant" or whatever the cause du jour is.

Uh white Oaklanders are pretty fed up with it too. I can't speak for Asians or Hispanics, but I'm guessing they probably feel the same way.

Let's not make this a race thing, because stupidity and misguided 'activism' are BS regardless of what color you are.

In fact they did it to my motorcycle and several others. Just pushed them right over and smashed them.

But for many of the "anti-gentrification" activists (few of whom actually live in West Oak or wherever) it most certainly is a race thing. Not to mention the Oscar Grant™ crowd. Or the "people" who idolized the man who murdered those four cops. Etc.

I saw a video of them marching down Valencia, and some dude was just breaking car and shop windows randomly. Yeah, great way to stick it to the 1% or police, or whatever you're attempting to do , you asshats. By vandalizing the property of people who are neither wealthy or police officers (not that any vandalism is called for). That will get you guys plenty of support.

I strongly suspect that the proponents do not score highly on the intelligence or sophistication scales, nor those for being able to think for themselves. Such animals usually do need herding.

Later, some snot-nosed little "anarchist" punk wannabe tweeted that I deserved to have my motorcycle smashed, because it was a tool of the capitalist patriarchy or something.

He was just mad he didn't have one.

Tribe of the Twelve Monkeys, Revolt! (or maybe, just don't)

OWS and random dopey anarchists aren't the same people, though the filthy little buggers try to blend in to appear relevant.

Heh. When I asked him how he'd like it if I smashed his iPhone, he said that would be totally different. Just -- like, because, y'know?
