Everything’s quiet in my little corner of Oakland. The idiots are all out trying to loot a freeway ;-)

Quiet where I am, too. Heard some police sirens about an hour and a half ago, but nothing I haven't heard any other weeknight. No gunfire, no hovering choppers with searchlights.

It hasn't been mentioned much, but there's a subtle undercurrent of "Oakland proud" that keeps things from getting too out of hand. Last time the riots were concentrated in Downtown, 14th and Telegraph. No one wants to foul their own nest.

I’m just now getting Choppers over Adam’s Point. Twitter seems to be saying that the protesters are almost entirely White. Wouldn’t surprise me.
