A minor rioting, looting opportunity and a general desire to raise Hell is what the demonstration is really about for most of the players.
I read about the Friday sentencing yesterday and didn’t think anything about it until I was on my way home this evening. A drugstore (Walgreens, 51st and Telegraph, Oakland) had its windows boarded up. Two employees were sitting outside. I asked them why the windows were boarded up, and one of them said “Just in case.”
Further west and toward downtown, there were some rough-looking people walking around, and they looked angry. I got home safely, but I was wondering if another riot was going to erupt.
Lots of angry people in Oakland.
How many of them voted for BO?
