"The Black Bloc" is sometimes incorrectly reported as being the name of a specific anarchist group. It is, rather, a tactic that may be adopted by groups of various motivations and methods.

That's some great reporting there.

@soulwound1 Actually according to Police sources that is the name they are calling themselves.

I'm glad you followed Elmo shirt guy's advice on covering Oakland.

@RMurray8874 Listen to the track closely, I had no intention because I feel everyone has the right to protest however with the vandalism that took place it became my department. It had nothing to do with Elmo Shirt Guy LOL

In Mexico, groups like those are paid by high officials to discredit the peaceful protesters.

It's something to seriously think about.

the true 99% don't destroy properties, it those Professional protesters; whom regardless of the issues enjoys tearing things apart. Marxist is great!

@blackmesa176 He did not say, you are not from the Oakland area moron. He said the Black Bloc is not from the Oakland area.

@soulwound1 Nice plagiarism. Copied and pasted straight from Wikipedia.

@TVman1981 What the hell i am from an anarchist collective in oakland and your saying we are not from oakland or cali sir you are misinformed... Revolt is coming...

[fourthgirl]

Funny how these folks probably feared Oakland a few months ago and would not dream of living here. But squatting, free living and random acts of violence and destruction and they are coming over in droves. I hate my city council.

You are an ass hat.

@feldman30012 It was a few years ago and I watched it on the news (from Mexico).

From what I recall, many students from a university were having a peaceful protest to pressure the state governor to resign after accusations of corruption.

The protest turned sour (riot) after a group of "students" started to act aggressively against the police. That of course allowed the media to portray the students as violent hoodlums discrediting their peaceful protest.

Don't quote me on that ;)

@mrkotfw god i'd love to hear the story.
