The Democratic Party Occupies Oakland

Occupy Oakland protesters broke into City Hall, stole an American flag from the City Council chamber and set it on fire Saturday night, punctuating a wild day in which police deployed tear gas, arrested more than 400 marchers and dodged hurling objects.

Demonstrators spent the day trying to break into a convention center and temporarily occupying City Hall and a YMCA, all the while snaking around lines of riot-clad police periodically shooting bean bag projectiles, among other uses of nonlethal force.

Saturday marked the first major clashes between protesters and police since November and left three officers with minor injuries, as protesters threw bottles, metal pipes, rocks, spray cans and "improvised explosive devices," police said.

  1. Mixed feelings here, Boss...

    While I cannot support the goals of the occu-tards, at the same time (a) it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch than demmunist-controlled Oakland (unless it was down the road at than-fran-thithy-co) (b) AN UPRISING IS *LONG* OVERDUE and (c) this is NOTHING compared to what is COMING!

    Wise men on the side of Liberty and Our Founders' Republic ought to be paying VERY close attention to:
    A) What the occu-tards did WELL
    B) What mistakes they made
    and
    C) Pretty much EVERYTHING about the forces of Leviathan

    There are lessons here - and wise men would definitely heed them!
