Riot breaks out in downtown Santa Cruz; windows broken on dozens of businesses

Full headline (doesn't fit in Title field): Riot breaks out in downtown Santa Cruz; windows broken on dozens of businesses, porch of cafe set on fire
SANTA CRUZ - A group of protesters demonstrating at a May Day rally for worker's and immigrant rights downtown broke off into a riot vandalizing about a dozen businesses around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.
Windows were left shattered and graffiti including anarchy signs were tagged onto buildings. The Rittenhouse Building, Urban Outfitters, Jamba Juice and Velvet Underground all had windows broken, according to Capt. Steve Clark.
Santa Cruz police asked for help from all agencies in the county to break up the riot. At one point, protesters lit a fire on the porch of Caffe Pergolesi and blocked access to firefighters, officers said. Police were able to clear out the demonstrators before more damage was caused.
A large rock sat outside Verizon Wireless on the 100 block of Cooper Street, where vandals tried to break the window twice, according to Clark.
"The damage that was caused was without purpose," Clark said. "It was senseless violence that victimized a community who cannot afford to be victimized in this manner. This did nothing to add credit to whatever they believed their cause was."

12. Freedom's untidy.

Strangely different reaction from their threads about (the dangerous, violent) Tea-Party demonstrations...that have caused no damage or riots. ::) ::)

11. Same thing happened in Asheville, NC.
Not a good thing.

Vandals destroy downtown Asheville storefronts, car windows
...
The violence is likely linked to the observance of May Day, a day for marking worker solidarity that has been seized upon for anti-capitalism displays of violence, especially by self-proclaimed anarchist groups in Europe.
I'm just waiting for the replies that excuse the rioters...they're "justified" because "the white man" has held them down for so long. ::) ::) I wonder why no one is ever grateful that capitalism has given us such a road UP out of poverty, instead of whining that it hasn't managed to bring the entire world along. Yet.

7. Here is the raw footage of this protest.
To me it looked like either some random anarchists not from the area or police infiltrators. Plus they were all in black hoodies and wearing scarves over there faces. While the majority was moving along and a few from that march were trying to stop them.

I wish those idiots would vandalize my car and break out my windows..... just saying.

Any minute now Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Lord 0 will be on tv denouncing the violence. :whatever:

We truly are living in the bizarro world. Once again the left has actually used violence as a political tool and no mention from our elite leaders.

They're striking at the heart of California capitalism.

They want to blame teabaggers for the violence, but I was at the Santa Cruz riots about ten or twelve years ago, when Food Not Bombs held a protest. A bunch of anarchists from Berkeley came down and were smashing windows... probably the very same people this time.

I think we should use crowd control from the air when events like this take place. Here is a good example of what I mean.

Naw, as long as it's just California, it's not worth the fuel. It's sort of like the riots in the '60s when ML King was killed, and democrats in big cities burned their own neighborhoods.

I've even seen self descrobed conservatives mouth the Marxist dialectic philosophy with no knowledge of what they are saying. Our indoctrination system would make the great propagandists of history smile.

Hell, if these dipshits keep it up, no worries, there won't be any capitalism to give them a job.

Yes, how dare we cowardly Americans defend our system of law against an ever lessening "silent invasion" body...

What a ridiculous idea!

Santa Cruz, like most liberal enclaves, was a nice area until those liberal policies and feel-good ideas turned it into a shithole...not unlike your dog taking a major crap right in the middle of your new white carpet.
