RAW VIDEO: Chopper footage of 100,000+ Occupy Oakland Takes back Highway

100,000 source ( San Francisco Chronicle): Oakland's Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan (a capable and politically smart leader in a tough position) got the Occupy Oakland General Strike crowd count massively wrong: it's not 7,000, but 100,000. http://blog.sfgate.com/abraham/2011/11/03/occupy-oakland-strike-draws-100000-...

Absolutely enormous crowd hit the street in Oakland in support of Oakland. They took over a highway; there's got to be a good 100,000 people there.

@510RFL Hmm, no, because I was laid off and can't find anyone who's hiring. I am one of many in this situation, which is one of the many reasons people are upset. Open your eyes dude, just because you have a job doesn't mean our country is okay.

Nice try though. You're just one lay off away from joining the group.

@cjbimage <-- you are uninformed. The politicians are bought and paid for by the corporatocracy -- the banksters, Wall Street crooks, and robber barons who want the entire USA to be a feudal system where nobody but themselves own land or real estate or anything of serious value. Blaming the politicians/gov't is like blaming the hired gun for the hit instead of the mobster who paid them off. While both are responsible, without the one hiring the hitman there would have been no kill.

@tebowisadouche Maybe you should learn how to read, it might benefit you. I've already explained why I was laid off, and I'm not going to do it again, least of all for a troll.

Powerful imagery. Humanity for humanity is a beautiful thing.

im not condoning violence, but imaging if they were all armed? how quickly would our crooked government sing a different tune? in the words of Ben Franklin " from time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants alike"

Half of them just want to protest, half of them want the change. This "revolution" has no future because nobody wants to lead it, or be the voice of it.
