The Anti-Capitalist Brigade started gathering early on May Day at Oakland’s Snow Park. There was free coffee, oatmeal, doughnuts, fliers with the day’s agenda and plenty of pot. A “street medic” — “I just finished a wilderness first-aid course,” he told me when I asked about his training — tended to his first case of the day, a man in his 20s whose leg had been beaten to a purple hue with a metal rod in an overnight fight in the park. Nearby, an organizer reminded protesters to take down the toll-free number for the National Lawyers Guild: “This is important. Do not put it in your cellphones, because if you get arrested, the cops will take those away. Write it on your bodies. In indelible ink. There are Sharpies on the table.”
No central action was planned. A coalition of labor unions had asked Occupy Oakland, with its proven ability to turn out large numbers of militant activists, to blockade the Golden Gate Bridge, but then withdrew the request at the last minute. Instead, thousands of Occupy protesters met at various “strike stations” and fanned out into the streets with shields and gas masks (or the homemade alternative: bandannas soaked in vinegar), transforming downtown Oakland into a roving carnival of keyed-up militants of every shape and size: graduate students, tenured professors, professional revolutionaries, members of the Black Bloc, dressed like ninjas, their faces obscured.

In a rational world these people would die in a hail of gunfire from the property owners.
I hope people read the entire story, because not only does this story reflect badly on Oakland but on the entire state of California liberalism.
This is our future for the entire country if we don’t get rid of liberals at the national level.
California is a lost cause, I reckon, but the rest of the country isn’t.
Now that’s a long article. Keep hope alive and pass the bong!
If this country is ever taken back....
Mexifornia will have to be invaded and re-considered..
Probably Oregon and Washington State as well..
There be malefactors there..
The irony of this is that most of the shops are owned by immigrants who are afraid to say no when they steal stuff and chase away their customers.
Oh, Oakland; how far you have fallen.
They make it sound like a badge of honor, not surpising. This is the cradle of entitlement and dependency created, nurtured, encouraged and supported by the community organizer and chief
