Vandalism, violence, burning and shutting down the nation’s fifth busiest port weren’t enough for Occupy Oakland. On Friday, the General Assembly for the group voted unanimously for “a coordinated shutdown of ports on the entire West Coast on December 12."

According to a statement from Occupy Oakland, this move is in “response to coordinated attacks on the occupations and attacks on workers across the nation.” “We call on each West Coast occupation to organize a mass mobilization to shut down its local port.”

Occupy Los Angeles had already called for action against one shipper at that port, stating, “occupation will take place at at least one facility owned by SSA Marine, a shipping company belonging to Goldman Sachs, (coordinated with a possible port shut down by the port truck drivers).

Yeah, but you still have a fresher signup date than I; hence I can be snippy about it. ;)

Welcome aboard DR.

I've been posting this for the past few days to remind us all who's making it possible for these OWS children to have their very public tantrums.

These fine people below will be having their Thanksgiving dinner in a chow hall while most of us are with our loved ones. God bless 'em all.

[Lion Den Dan]

An act of war? An act of terror? Sedition? What ever, it is not a peacable protest and is against the law. Put a stop to it.

[Michael Barnes]

Are you stateside?

HEH! I love that, saw it a few days ago...

[DetroitRight]

I agree.

[Allegra]

Are you stateside?

Yep! 'Til sometime in the first quarter of 2012. I get to be home for Thanksgiving, Christmas and ALL of football season!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

i don’t think the unions will like this.

I don't think the Chinese will like it either.

[dennisw]

You’re OK in my book...not that, that will help you around here

[DetroitRight]

HA! That’s funny. :o)

[Logical me]

The civil war has begun.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Yes, but we have to make them own it during the elections. I drool when I see all the free campaign material they have provided.

[GeronL]

The OWS are NOT about anything other than getting Obama re-elected.

Shutting down the ports will hurt the very people they are pretending to support. The left always seem to do that.

It’s because their true intentions and stated goals are not the same.

[GeronL]

5 people protesting Bush would get network news coverage but most TEA Party rallies with thousands were usually even ignored by the local media.

Its part of the leftist agenda.

[ErnBatavia]

Bullshit....the unions are up to their necks in this sh*t. The goons’ll get their payback down the line.

[Colonel_Flagg]

“a coordinated shutdown of ports on the entire West Coast on December 12."

Way, way past time to take out the trash.

[ErnBatavia]

I hate to say it, but this is just the dress rehearsal for next year.....they’ll learn from their mistakes, fine tune it and have their act together about ten months from now.
