[GCCmember]

I have a decent job and no college education. I did however cut my hair, removed all piercings, covered all tattoos and was able to pass a drug test to get in the door at a fairly entry-level position. Many years later, I'm doing pretty good. Perhaps some of the upset folks should give that a try?

[mrrossn]

my thought, your rights end when you start infringing on others rights ie the bank part of this video.

[goarmy1d]

Hey! Lets make signs from supplies we bought from stores! (capitalism) and lets go invade a business(illegal? and wrong) lets yell about things we dont fully understand! (ignorant) lets trash the streets and break things( like really?)...now lets go eat at a fast food place or go to the store (capitalism). lets record our "movement" with our phones and cameras (capitalism) and upload them on youtube (capitalism) and lets complain cause we werent smart enough to find a way to get a good job!

[TheEvilTuxedo]

@goarmy1d Well, in their defense they ARE the 99%. In the situation where there's a greater number of people it's expected some will act out of turn. I personally found I couldn't judge them. I supposed it's one of those things one didn't or might not understand until it's happened to them as well.

[theotherone81]

someone should remind these useful idiots who bailed the banks out: the government they worship

[usaf317]

they dont look peacefull to me...invading a banck and trying to upset people and throwing shit around. hese people should have been arrested.

[aeomus26]

I would have supported the group but after seeing other privates business vandalized i change my mind

[MovieMakerRobot]

I'm good with protesting, but democracy does NOT look like people covering their face to avoid getting punished for breaking windows. Democracy is getting out on the streets and protesting with signs and getting attention to issues to get added to the public agenda. Since we are the 99% we should be able to determine what goes in the bills to insure fairness and **maximize** equality

[smitty927]

Rude PUNKS!! Seriously?!?! They DO NOT have the right to storm into private business and act like morons!!!

Meh, guess it's good in one sense, shows how immature they are and that they have no capability of respecting others. Just more gimme gimme gimme! Load of crap, GO EARN IT!

[bwanna23]

For some of these people, this is the only positive thing they've done in their lives.

[cjmahoney]

this is stupid.



[2223jason]

You know it's funny. I'm ex Army infantry so when i say this, it's from experience. Your a bunch of sissies. Flash bang and tear gas grenades scare you off? Really? This protest will go no where unless people are willing to die for their cause. You aren't. The Police are. Period.

What's scary, however, is what will these protests morph into when the economy collapses and people are starving? This is going to get ugly. Maybe not this month, or next, but trust me; all hell is about to break loose

[dgtgmom]

thems my mothafuckas!!!

[pjh888]

Hey as*clowns! Google search "civil rights movement." Notice a difference?

You're not going to change anything dressing and acting like a bunch of hooligans. Go to St. Vincent de Paul, Buy a button up and tie and behave with dignity. That way, when the cops shoot you with rubber bullets people will say, "what is going on?" Phase out the drum circles and get serious. Don't let the news dismiss you as a mob of hippy stoners because that is what they are telling hundreds of millions of people.

[STEVOLOVESTHAILAND]

I would have brought in Tanks,, armored vehicles, put a stop to all this mess!!

[STEVOLOVESTHAILAND]

99%,,,, no your not!! Dumb fucks!!!!!

[msjenny420]

lol its more like 80% but "99% is more marketable"

[tsmcauley]

thanks for posting this video....I saw all of the stuff about tear gas and flash grenades and almost came out to support you guys.  Then I saw how you marched.

[eddiehaskell7]

"Take a college humanities department and deprive it of all the support it receives from capitalist enterprises--investment income from the institution's endowment, tuition money from well-heeled parents, subsidies from taxpayers--and what do you get? A bunch of crazy freeloaders sleeping in a park."

[explizittexas]

when will we get mad

[Godlovesallpeople]

Thank you, keep posting these amazing videos!

We have the constitutional right to PROTEST AGAINST the BANKS for stealing 700 BILLION FROM THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!!!!!

[msjenny420]

ok. im all for protesting but why are you all walking into a private institution and causing a major rukus and throwing around unfilled deposit slips? this sort of behavior is counter intuitive to allowing peaceful demonstration. tell me im wrong.

[Godlovesallpeople]

@msjenny420 - We have the constitutional right to PROTEST AGAINST the BANKS for stealing 700 BILLION FROM THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!!!!!

[msjenny420]

yes i understand we have the right, but we dont have the right to go on private property, throwing their stuff around, and make crazy noise. basic law. it makes the group look irresponsible, it makes the movement look bad, it is confusing, it doesn't get a message across.. how do you gain support of the people that have just started hearing about occupations if you commit arrestable, disorderly offenses? you haven't proved me wrong but your answer proves the movement needs better direction.

[newclearist]

Cops just shot tear gas on us downtown!!! About to upload footage!!

[borgeater]

@newclearist

I hope they shoot lead at you next time scumbag.

[GayWorldOrder]

[TacticalSoleSurvivor]

Nice vid. Thank you for your work.

[BiscoGrooveDrew]

about two days later--- police tear gas, etc as well kick out everyone from their occupation at around 5am

[TheRapala]

it is a real shame how confused the American people really are, America was never a Democracy it is a Republic with a constitution

[TacticalSoleSurvivor]

@TheRapala What can you expect from a bunch of socialist, hippys and revolutionaries.

[LARonPaul2012]

@TacticalSoleSurvivor you moron... I FUCKING WORK at Bank of America and MYSELF AND 9 OTHER COWORKERS WALKED IN WITH THEM ALL AS WELL WHEN THEY STORMED OUR BANK!!!!

IDIOTS LIKE YOU CLAIM WERE ALL 20 YEAR OLD HIPPIES ON UNEMPLOYMENT WHEN THAT COULDNT BE FARTHER from the truth. Its brainwashed FUCKING IDIOTS like you that are going to marginalize a revolution dedicated to take back the country for our children and grandchildren. You should be ASHAMED of yourself for falling for the MSM RHETORIC!!

[TacticalSoleSurvivor]

@LARonPaul2012 Ok, you are not a hippy, but are a socilaist revolutionary that works for the most oppressive bank in the world? Why are you angry with me?

[LARonPaul2012]

@TacticalSoleSurvivor fascinating how you are h3llbent on categorizing people. It seems as if your inadequacies on your own life require you to obsessively try to put people in certain judgemental boxes. I feel sorry for you princess.. its unfortunate that such a waste of life exists in a human body such as yours. :/ Don't you think it is a tad bit presumptuous to be calling me a socialist revolutionary when you have NEVER EVEN MET ME? Why the fuck you do think we walked out of the bank idiot?!

[LARonPaul2012]

Im not angry just so sad that people in this country are as ignorant & divided that they feel the need so obsessively to try to place people into categories as you do. Does it help you sleep at night controlling that obsession by labeling people? I bet ur one of those losers who fell for the "terror threat levels" the news used to air am I right? One of those fearful Americans that feels unsafe at night unless you put labels on people to help you rationalize & organize ur fears? LOL fuckin loser

[christianz2010]

@TheRapala STFU, we fucking know what going you dumbfuck, your feeding off the American stereo type and thats why we will never really be united as the world wide 99%. Its happening all over the world so stfu!!

[goarmy1d]

@TheRapala Democratic Republic to be exact

[AZStarYT]

You're in the WRONG bank, people! You need to be ACROSS the bay.

[SofaKingAwesome89]

Los Angeles has your back Oakland! Long live the Revolution!

[missadvice]

We see you Oakland here in Maryland, continue the fight everyday every night !

[bamboozlefcb]

yeahhh yall killed it go ahead oakland!

[butterflyeaves]

thanks for posting this. oakland is my home and am in UK right now. appreciate the view. yes, the chant is problematic but is no surprise. i really hope we can do this peacefully. this is so much power in facing violence and hate with with peace and love an yet it takes much courage to react in that manner when you feel cornered and scared. sending much love and support from abroad.

[MrViTopol]

@butterflyeaves FUCKLAND

[shutcha]

Great video, great editing. Thanks for getting it up so fast. I was there and this is a good depiction of the march. Thanks again!!!

[MaxwellSage]

LOL Going HAM in Chase!

[newclearist]

@Elin48 It was a great march and I'm glad so many people came out! I know the F@ck the Police rhetoric is problematic. But people are frustrated, especially in Oakland where the OPD have a federal injunction against them for civil rights abuses. But I love your sentiments Elin48. This movement feels so hopeful because it's so inclusive and hopefully we can get everyone on board. Like the Marines in NYC!

And feel free to Repost or remix this video. Gotta get the word out there!!!

[Democracide]

@newclearist No. Fuck tha Po-lice. Seriously. As we speak they're trying to break Occupy Oakland. Same thing is happening in Atlanta. What do those cities have in common? Angry minorities. The Man is trying to start the rioting TONIGHT. So far the Occupation has not risen to the bait, but merely stood their ground. If you roll over when the pigs snap their fingers you're not protesting.

[Elin48]

I was there and marching with a banner. Loved it...loved every part of this video except I have to wince every time I hear the words F_ _ K the police. I know there are those who do bad, but they are also part of the 99%. I want the police to turn and join Occupy just as they turned and joined the million strong in Venezuela after Hugo Chavez was kidnapped, and as they joined those in Egypt's revolution. I would have posted this on my facebook if those words were not included in your video.

[eternalstarsurfer]

@Elin48 i agree with you so much.

[usaf317]

@Elin48 hugo chavez? he is a communist! we dont want communism in America and you dont represent anyone but yourself. the police should have been more harsh in their responce
