Stop the Oakland Fruitvale Gang Injunction

After organizing a week of actions, on Friday March 4th 2011 Oakland youth took to the streets. They organized walk outs to boost numbers for a march and rally. Along the way from the Fruitvale BART station to downtown Oakland their numbers grew, they educated the community along the way and they took over intersections and streets refusing to take criminalization lying down.

Telling someone to speak english and spelling it "inglish" is absolutely priceless. In 4 words we learned that you are foul mouthed, racist, that you poorly dominate the english language even while you complain about the linguistic short commings of someone who is probably bilingual and that you don't respect mothers.

I can tell by your comment that you're part of the problem in Oakland. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Tell me, what do the protestors want changed that will make Oakland a better, safer place?

@aroldfut Folks involved in the movement to stop criminalization are actively working on solutions that are actually evidence based and proven to reduce crime and make healthier communities. Restorative Justice, Youth Empowerment Zones, Jobs, educational equity campaigns are all proven to reduce violence. The problem is that when it comes to investing in the future of low-income youth of color, the same people so worried about violence fight hard to resist these proven preventive measures.

Fruitvale was once a quiet, safe, working class bedroom neighborhood. Add illegal aliens....and like EVERY other neighborhood taken over by them the streets become battlegrounds for thugs. Changing the name to politically correct "undocumented workers" doesn't change the culture they bring to the US.

Caifornia is the model for what illegal immigration brings.

@NELASOL Excellent example of what, ignorant people assembling to protest the police doing everything they can to get gangbanging trash off the streets? They're idiots.
