I met separately with Oakland City Attorney John Russo and California Commericial Investments' Managing Partner Phil Tagami regarding their view of the riots. Tagami has several well-known buildings including the Rotunda and the Fox, which opens Feb 5th.

  • The police shot tear gas at protesters...not the people doing the vandalism. Look...if anybody from bart reads this....SAY SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!! JUST SAY SOMETHING!! THE LONGER YOU GO WITHOUT MAKING A STATEMENT...THE MORE MALICIOUS THIS ACT APPEARS!! THE COP THAT DID THE SHOOTING HAS BEEN OFF THE HOOK FOR A WEEK NOW!!! MURDER IS MURDER AND THE LONGER YOU REMAIN SILENT THE MORE BLOOD YOU WILL HAVE ON YOUR HANDS!!

  • I haven't seen any chi-city niggaz doing shit recently. LOL. the most was some running fight/brawl which got attention because it was in an OMG TRENDY part of the city....

  • they've done this shit in G8 protests trying to fuck with the anarchists and black bloc people.

  • Riots are spontaneous and take advantage of popular anger-people often either get involved on a 'whimwith mob mentality (Angry Black Man) or they're prepared in advance (Black Bloc) The higher densities of downtown contribute to it-then there's people planning for shit in advance and go there via bus or car as you stated (protestors who get violent). People who bike in too. Also IIRC Oakland's city center isn't as large as say Chicago-so it should be easy to get to places in there.

  • Quite a few of these guys and gals already lived downtown, no?

  • with cops like this you can say that Oakland is proud peaceful and rightest

  • We have not had a riot in DC since the assassination of King. How dare he say we riot all the time here.
