Oakland Demonstrators Burn Flags, Smash Cop Car After Jul. 14, 2013 7:45am Madeleine Morgenstern

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Protesters angered by the acquittal of George Zimmerman held largely peaceful demonstrations in three California cities, but broke windows and started small street fires Oakland, police said.

The gatherings Saturday night ranged from a few dozen to a couple hundred people turning out to protest the verdict in the Florida courtroom over the death of Trayvon Martin, and police said some of the demonstrations continued into the early hours Sunday.

The Oakland police dispatch office said about 100 people protested, with some in the crowd breaking windows on businesses and starting small fires in the streets. As the protest wound down with the crowd dispersing, the office said that as of 2 a.m. PDT it had no word of any arrests.

Local media reports said some Oakland marchers vandalized a police squad car and police formed a line to block the protesters’ path.

We did not see the large scale rioting that the media told us was coming.

Rejection of the MSM?

Rejection of the race baiters posing as civil rights activist?

Rejection of race baiting elected officials?

BINGO - it's a rejection of hatred and ignorance - a rejection of liberals wolves in sheep's clothing.

Isn’t that pretty much just a normal Saturday night in Oakland?

The politicos and media told them they’re supposed to riot, so that’s what they’re doing.

I wonder what percentage of Oakland residents are on some form of government assistance?I would wager that the percentage is EXTREMELY HIGH!!!!!

Probably not so high, in relative terms compared to, say Detroit. Oakland is diverse, meaning it has a lot of affluent people (on the hills), has some ritzy white neighborhoods. Poor folk down on the flatlands near freeways and bay. The worst parts of Oakland are luxurious compared to Detroit's ghettos. But the black punks in Oakland, while small in number and area, make up for it with craziness. Lots of murders and mayhem in the black portion of Oakland.

Anyway we can send the law-abiding residents a lot of guns?

Sending guns won’t help. Law-abiding folks have too many restrictions on guns in California. However, the black miscreants illegally use guns with abandon. One of my daughters used to live in Oakland, in one of those ritzy areas I spoke of. I feared for her life, because she commuted thru those flatlands to her job a few miles away. On the very same street as carjackings, drive-by shootings and murders that happened with regularity. She now lives in Texas, both she and her husband have AR-15 rifles, and the freedom to own them.

Oakland is crazy, the punks get away with stuff and PC lawmakers protect them.

The press will be doing their best to downplay any riots or acts of retribution by blacks... they’ll tell themselves they’re being ‘responsible’ rather than ‘controlled by democrat handlers’.

Here’s how we could prove it:

Conservatives could ‘fake’ a mildly violent encounter: Five ‘tea party’ members taped throwing one small spitball at a fake gay person or black. Then someone releases the tape to CNN. That ‘violence’ a tiny spitball will be replayed on CNN and NBC every 15 minutes until it’s discovered to be fake. They would run with that story.

The press knows what side they’re on...

Democrats have decided the threat of violence works for them but real violence doesn’t. It’ll be months before we find out all the things that happened in the name of Trayvon...
