OAKLAND -- Protesters have effectively shut down maritime operations at the Port, Director Omar Benjamin said at a media briefing Tuesday, as more than 4,000 people are at the gates.

The crowd stretched several blocks down Middle Harbor Road leading into the port as they begin their attempt to shut down the port for start of the 7 p.m. night shift.

I guess that means no school tomorrow (Teachers' Union), and no City Services (City Unions), and no staffers at all government offices (SEIU Members, etc.).

Good....Kalifornia reaps what they sow.....

Detroit - but worse. At least Detroit doesn’t have roaming bands of hippies who look as if they have been left behind from a really bad movie about 1968.

Barbarians at the Gates

Black block anarchists / useful idiots for the communists after the revolution they always find themselves standing at the edge of an open mass grave asking the same stupid question “whats going on? why me?” then bang a pistol shot to the back of the head. The booger eating morons never learn.

[Huskrrrr]

As the sun sets in the town of Oakland, they better hope the cops don’t leave.

LOL!! He had to specify "organic" to maintain some hippy cred in the midst of his citrusticly capitalist activity.

Yeah but was that a free range orange? Then he would truly care.

Bay area. How many of them used this as an opportunity to take their clothes off?

[NormsRevenge]

also heard .. one Oakland city council member is marching with the protesters .. hope the city has its ObamaCare insurance paid up. seein’ as how Quan gave the protesters a free waiver to break the law..

[Gator113]

Just another Obama rally.

[NonValueAdded]

lots of longshoremen in that mix, I’ll wager

[livius]

Urp. That’s a scary thought in itself. Unclothed anarchist flesh - they always have scrawny pale white bodies (ecept for the women, who have huge pale white bodies) and look like they probably have every social disease known to God and man.

I suppose they'll be pooping all over everything there, too. Disgusting.

[molson209]

but the Mayor gave us the freedom of the city or the freedom to trash the city

[NormsRevenge]

another Obama ‘shovel ready’ operation, I reckun.

not sure but I think they hit a Whole Foods or maybe a Safeway,, Yes, at least they will be well nourished for a few hours.

[NonValueAdded]

Do the raiders have a home game this weekend? Let's see them try to shut that down. After all, the field will be crawling with 1%-ers.

The Raiders and the Saga of Carlson Palmer
