A statement from Mayor Tom Bates suggested the meeting was scratched because of capacity issues:

Mayor Bates better start crackin the whip, or the OWS will take complete control and make him look as foolish as ex-Oakland Mayor Quan looked, marching arm in arm with the anarchist devils. A lotta good that did her in the elections.

Tom Bates was a military veteran with about 10 years service yet he married a communist from Berkeley named Loni Hancock. They switched seats and mayoralship over the past 20 years.

Why he became a red is very puzzling but with a wife like Hancock (whose red record is extremely long), it is similar to DeBlasio marrying his red wife.

A nice piece on both of them re their communist histories would be very informative and give you an insight into the red asshole known as Berkeley.

Not "again." Occupy never went away. They have been digesting what they learned from their first run-through. They are well financed and organized and represent a serious challenge to the rule of law in America.

Interesting background. Under the category ‘The Things We Do For Love’. I just know I would hate to have a small business on Telegraph Ave. near the University right now. I’m guessing that area, which includes ‘People’s Park” is full of smashed out windows, and the air hangs heavy with California Gold (Medical!) Marijuana.

They “Shut Down The Government”?

I thought that was the worst thing anyone could possibly do.

So the protest did do some good.

Smashed windows and plywood at: Chase Bank at Shattuck Avenue and Center Street, AT&T phone store nearby, Paris Baguette nearby, McDonald's at Shattuck Avenue and University Avenue, Trader Joe's (University Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Way (ne' Grove Street)). That's just a sampling.

How is Half Price Books on Shattuck? I love that store. You can’t go in there without finding an armload of books. Really inexpensive too. It’s worth going into liberal-land Berkeley.

Trader Joes’ probably wonders “What did we do wrong?” They are very ‘green’ in that this store was one of the first to disallow plastic bags. They have aisles full of Organic items. The store decor is gratuitously faux shabby. What’s not to like?” Same with Whole Foods. Suddenly, they too are the enemy.

After all the windows have been smashed for the tenth time that month, after 50% of the business owners decide to move away to Ashby, Point Richmond, Pittsburg or El Cerrito, who then, is ‘the friend? He who has nothing?
