Yo,but I heard the moms and pops stores got vandalized to. Not to mention peoples cars cut demolished as well. How come no ones tearing up the Bart Stations? You know what would really hurt BART. If the Bay Area as a whole took a stance and said we're not going to RIDE BART for a WEEK. You know how much money they'd loose? Breaking windows @ Quiznos doesn't help the cause.

i don't condone rioting at all but i didn't see any mom and pop stores get vandalized this time around they where mostly corporate owned either way it dosen't make sense to destroy things there just dumb ass kids who had nothing to do with the protest.....

To some extent, that may be true, but there were also plenty of kids who had legitimate political reasons for trashing corporate businesses.

Ima quote a old school rap from the west coast all stars. THEY SAY WE ACT LIKE RATS IN A CAGE, I TRY TO ARGUE BUT CHECK IT EVERY NIGHT IN THE NEWS, WE PROVE THEM SUCKAS RIGHT, NOW I GOT THE BLUES!" Too Short was out there sayin the same thing. People we have this fool in jail, lets just see what happens! Thanks for posting!
