OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- In Oakland, Occupy protesters gathered Wednesday night and voted to withdraw a resolution calling for future demonstrators to remain peaceful.

A small number of the protesters have openly called for the use of violence as a tactic to get their message out. The vote by the group came just hours after Oakland city leaders called for the camp at Frank Ogawa Plaza to shut down immediately.

City officials have also cut off streetlights at the camp as well as a faucet protesters had been using to get water.

Also Thursday, Oakland City Council President Larry Reid told ABC7 News that the council may take a "no confidence" vote for Mayor Jean Quan.

“Protesters withdraw resolution to remain peaceful”

Did they retain their other resolution to remain jobless?

OWS is like the Red Guard of the Maoist Cultural Revolution. The Dems lost control of the OWS and Mao lost control of the RG. Both ended up destroying the support of the people. In the end Mao had to call in the Army to put down and disarm the RG. The Dems basically tell their Dem mayors, call in the police and dismantle the PR diseaster. All camps outside of NYC will be dismantled. NYC camp is the central symbol of the OWS movement. It will be the last one to clear as soon as the NYPD take notes on how the OWS attempted to resist in other cities as their camps are removed.

You message HAS gotten out, that’s why they’re cutting off lights and water. It’s a message for you: “GO HOME!”

Oh, no. Even more stench - in the dark? (There's a song title in there somewhere...)

It has been known for thousands of years that dead fish and house guests begin to stink after three days.

Irony indeed, in hindsight.

“Karma” is rarely so quick or so easily identified.

I’ve got news for them. Their movement has been about violence from the start. It’s implied in their stated goals of bringing down the system. It is the essence of their philosophy.
