Crowd forces way into Oakland store amid protests

Note: I’ve seen a number of white people who were arrested, not sure if they’re the white-guilt Obama types or the anarchist-commie types.

Getting dressed up for a night on the town? Next stop: liquor stores.

I’m just curious about this athletic store, are its employees and clientele mostly Afro-American? Why don’t race-relation enraged blacks quit trashing their own neighborhoods and go trash some remote white suburb? Nah, that would be closer to being logical.

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of these are white anarchists who wouldn't dare to walk around East Oakland at night--or for that matter during the day either.

I remember, after they trashed Watts over the King beating trial, all their whining about not having anywhere to shop.
Watch them do the same here. Smash windows, loot, burn down stores, then complain about the condition of their neighborhood.

Law of the jungle!

Its going to be cold in Oakland tonight (47 deg); they’ll all go home to stay comfey.

Yeah, these white anarchist pukes are only “brave” in large crowds where they can disappear into.

LOL

Let them touch those things for once.

Mais oui! The immortal words of heartstrong and brainweak Celine. I wish that interviewer had asked her if the masses could visit her Malibu home and touch some things.

The area of the “protest” was 14th and Broadway, which is mostly middle class shopping. (close to civic center)

Let’s hope you are right!

Anyone know what the “Rules of Engagement” might be? Will there be medals given for restraint?

That photo will, forever, remain a “classic!”

“Why is everyone so shocked? This happens every week in Oakland.”

.
Yes, but at 73rd and Macarthur, not 14th and Broadway.

[old school]

Well...not “every” week.

[editor-surveyor]

Most of the initial crowd seemed to be white union members.

The AP article is a bit oversimplified. All the jury would need to see would be a reasonable doubt for it to be able to properly acquit Mehserle of anything worse than involuntary manslaughter. That means a non-negligible likelihood that it was as he claimed, an “oops that was supposed to be a Taser” moment, even if that was the less probable explanation in the jury’s mind. If, a big if, they understood their duty clearly.

Now that the Taser mistake meme has been let out of the bottle, however, will it be difficult to put back in? Will we start seeing a rash of new “Taser mistakes” all over the country along with much blue winking and nodding?

I meant..after every raiders loss.

And of course, the logical solution is to break into a Foot Locker store and steal shoes.

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of these are white anarchists who wouldn't dare to walk around East Oakland at night--or for that matter during the day either.

Most of the people that have been arrested and are in line to be loaded into vans or a bus are the anarchists, and they are white.
