OAKLAND (KCBS) — Glass from shattered windows, graffiti, and debris littered the streets Saturday in the aftermath of Friday’s May Day demonstration in Oakland. As the cleanup effort got underway, the damage was described as the worst seen in years.
Late Friday night, violent protesters broke windows at businesses and damaged dozens of vehicles along Broadway’s Auto Row. They even set cars on fire.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff said it was a very small band within the group of 300 or so demonstrators, who were responsible for the damage.
“They came with rocks in their pockets and malice in their hearts,” said Schaff. “There is a huge difference between cowardly vandalism in the dark of night, masked and cloaked by large crowds and what is an incredibly important conversation that this country is having.”

Plus side?
Riots are, naturally, occurring in places run by liberals. It's become a cyclical issue where they create more losers, who elect more losers, who create more losers.
And that makes me happy.

The liberal mayors of cities hit by domestic terrorists seem to think that claiming the riots and destruction come only from a handful of outsiders will keep sentient Americans from concluding these mayors are nothing but leftist traitors.

Although there are a lot of black skinned Americans in Oakland, and they've been involved in a lot of these demonstrations/protests/mini-riots of late (Oscar Grant; Occupy Wall Street, ‘Black Lives Matters’) — the real trash causing the damage, and inciting the mob, are the white skinned Anarchists. You want find more anti-Americans outside of the White House (or a DNC convention). A bunch of them in the Oakland/SF/Berkeley area.

” What incredibly important conversation are we having?”
I noticed that too,and found it quite humorous.
I wasn’t aware that looting and burning were conversations.

Yes, it is the George Soros Rent-A-Mob!
These kids are paid to disrupt the civil society.
Their problem is the same problem ALL LIEberals have:
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR WORDS OR ACTIONS!
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN KNOCKED ON THEIR ASS, EITHER.
A LARGE CAN OF WHOOP ASS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SETTLE THIS SCORE!
