Occupy Encampment At UC Berkeley Torn Down
POSTED: 7:38 am PST November 17, 2011

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Authorities have cleared an encampment set up by Occupy protesters on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley.

Police in riot gear conducted a raid on the encampment around 3:30 a.m. Thursday, removing about 20 tents and arresting two protesters. Television footage showed a bulldozer moving into the area after the raid.

Occupy UC Berkley...sounds redundant to me.

[bigbob]

I dunno, was kinda hoping this would go on for another couple months, to the point where NOBODY supported these jerks. Still, a bulldozer is nice...!

I love the smell of diesel exhaust in the morning!

Amazing occupancy rate you got there, #Occupy.

[mdittmar]

LOL!

I do hope the bulldozer operator is wearing a gas-mask and a hazmat suit.

Where’s Rachel Corrie when you need her?

Great point! How could they tell the difference between the protesters and professors?

Yes. Begs the question, "What's the point?"

Then again, that question couldn't be answered cohesively at the Occupy Wall Street protest either.

I’d love to see a picture of a Cat D9 smashing all that trash.

Yes, I could see the protesters protesting in the city of Berkeley. But why would the “occupy” crowd protest at Berkley? It doesn't make any sense.

Well played. I immediately thought of pancake Corrie.

I can’t believe they had a pancake breakfast for her.

They were probably protesting there because it was close to them. They don’t seem to be the type to go to very much trouble for anything.

Love that movie! Watch it every time it's on.
