Occupy Oakland clashes: Video of masked youths smashing windows

The General Strike in Oakland had many marches throughout the day including this march against Capitalism. Thousands took to the streets in the Californian city and shut down operations in one of America's major sea ports. ­This follows last week's violent police dispersal of a demonstrators' camp, which resulted in a former US marine being severely injured.

I would be pissed off too if they started throughing tear gas and flashbang gernades, injurring countless people. the truth is that it started as a peacefull protest and was escaladed by the oakland police. so i support the anarchy i support the peacful protesters aswell as the non peacful protesters. any attention to the movment is a great step in the right direction. and fuck all you miss informed people

Lol this would happen very differently in Texas. My guess is that the store owners would open fire on the law-breakers.

protesters really need to stand up to the "black Bloc"  because they turn anything peaceful into something violent.

[2pac057]

they know how to fight

and you give them a reason because you are vandalising

the only way they dont know how to fight is peace

@1cantxwontx4 you ARE A COMPLETE FUCKING MORON. Police RESPOND to attacks like this. Tear Gas and flashbangs are basic non-lethal croud control, if it was any other country in the world they would be beaten. So go ahead and support these "protesters" who are destroying small buisnesses in my hometown of Oakland and adding to the problem. Idiot

I would have started shooting with my ccw flock at the protetsters attacking that guy

Your an idiot brent.  Notice

[CrackBerryTorch]

The funny thing about the Black Bloc is that they say they are anarchists. Anarchy is one person doing whatever they please, whenever and whatever and not following directions. The Black Bloc is actually a dictatorship like Syria and they blindly follow what another person is doing or what the leader says. If your gonna claim that your anarchists might as well be doing things on your own and not part of a group.
