freedom is not what America stands for . The Republic is an imperialist organization, ask Chile, ask Vietnam , ask Iraq ,ask the Sioux, ask the Cherokee and the list goes on

So, what you have is a bunch of people rallying against the police and being belligerent and somehow they expected a friendly response? Get real. You do not stand around poking a guy with a gun for hours and expect not to get shot at some point. The police did a fine job at not murdering the fuck out of those idiots, which seems to be what they were begging for.

@TheBannedPoet not yet, but i'll go there eventually. see mine as well, though i've only managed to upload a couple. oakland has been under threat of more police violence for days, so my efforts have been focused locally. eventually...

@wiseoldsnail Thanks a lot. na me neither, werent the best of times i must admit. Thanks again for the support. Have you seen the occupy london and occupy amsterdam vids on my channel?

[wiseoldsnail]

@TheBannedPoet sorry to hear it. i don't fancy you spending even a day in prison for poetry. stay safe while continuing to do your thing!

@CercaTrova2214 i guess you missed the part where the cops who you say are 'standing calm' were preventing citizens from interrupting beatings by police. paint was thrown to mark those officers doing the violence. there aren't small businesses going out of business because of occupy oakland. there are many going out of business due to large banks making policy. if your business is struggling, come request support and you'll get it right away. that's more than you'll ever get from the city.

@wiseoldsnail Init mate. No freedom of speech in britain,only poetic licence.. but any british law can over ride it. Don't stop me doing my thing though, just gotta be a bit smarter with it nowadays.. I don't fancy up to 5 years in prison for poetry you see lol

@uz9991 i'm not being a smart ass when i say google it. i'm asleep at the wheel. try googling rachel maddow and charts, or distribution of wealth tables... the truth is out there. i can discuss some other day, after i sleep in prep for possible police violence in oakland.
