An unrelated shooting - the 101st homicide in Oakland this year - drew media attention due to it's near proximity to Occupy Oakland. Occupants blamed the shooting partially on the unsafe conditions created by the lack of lighting in the plaza.
The shooting happened in broad daylight and had nothing to do with lights being off. But the main speaker's comments are well taken. Violence in Oakland is a BIG problem, and this one incident puts it much more in the face of a segment of society that normally is not affected by the violence.
TURN THE LIGHTS ON!!!! I hate 'public servants' that are stupid, dismissive and ignorant of the People's wants. If you take office, YOU'D BETTER be deeply committed hearing and obeying the People.

We want the occupy people to vacate. The PEOPLE are tired of the trash that is the occupy movement.
