OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Occupy Wall Street protesters declared victory after thousands of demonstrators shut down evening operations at one of the nation's busiest shipping ports late Wednesday, escalating a movement whose tactics had largely been limited to marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September.
As a voice over a bullhorn said "The night is not over, yet," protest organizers told demonstrators to head back to the downtown plaza where the Oakland movement has been based for more than a month. The Occupy encampment across the street from City Hall also was the scene of intense clashes with authorities last week.

Is this actually a small win for the OWSies? I sincerely hope this does not encite other occupoopers to pick up steam, and ramp up their insanity. I remember it got pretty bad in the Mad City. It did die down though, and that's what I'm hoping is the case here. It dies off very soon.
The protesters in OAK are still going this very minute though. :(

Sure, they'll tout it as a win, until store shelves start emptying, the price of shit starts going up, etc., etc...
They've pretty much blown through all their goodwill with the American public.

These idiots are protesting the effects of 100 years of socialist activism in the United States, and they don't even know it.

The MSM is not reporting the truth about this. A family friend works near the port (he's in HVAC design). The people trying to get to work in the area have been tear gassed, the Poopers are invading the buildings trying to get them to "join" them and the Union dimwits who are taking paid vacation time to "help" the Poopers. He does not know if he will be able to get to work today. He and his co-workers have had enough of the Poopers.
The news says that the poopers are "non violent" though they have set bonfires, broken windows, ect...which caused our friends company to tell everyone yesterday to "get out while you can" (his words).
Typical mob rules bullshit that happens every damn time these Socialist idiots start their crap.

Shutting down a port seems like it would interfere with international trade.
There must be some law... :???:

Erasmus, I watch these protests curious on how how all this will turn out.
Looking back on the crazy days and years of the 1960-1970 era I wonder just how much they did to halt the War in Asia. I remember the burning of Chicago with the Doors music singing Light my fire in the background.
I was an on looker in those days, Hubby and family off to war, scared to death to offer any opinions on anything political, even to my parents as I had to think of Hubby's and family's carears.
Different age and times now to be sure, one thing I notice is back then the protesters 1960-70 were college drop out mostly, kids caught up in the Drug and free love movement. Young kids with family's willing to support the kids as they were on a quest to {FIND Themselves } --- The kids came home hungry needing medical care for flea bites, STD's, beaten, raped, pregnant or in no condition to do much more then apologise to their parents and hope to continue their education and become just like the people they protested against.
The children of the past that headed into unknown territory were run aways, kids flunking out of college or high school, total dead heads that were introduced to drugs by Timothy Leary at their college campuses by the administrates of their colleges. Burn the draft card or get sent into Hell----Parents sent their sons to Canada or Europe ---A live coward was better then a dead Hero, or a living Hero that would come home to be spit on or called a baby killer.
Today the demonstrators seem to have gotten an education but cannot find jobs. By necessity they still at 25-35 still live with their parents. They cannot afford to leave the shelter of their parents to get their own place, get married or afford any children.
My question is, Why are they so against the Cooperate world and not out in DC or their State Capital demanding to know how Obama has in a few short years messed up American life with the help of our State governments controlled by his party.
The problem as I see it is the unemployment of the educated and the willing to be educated. The staggering price for an education even with grants and loans. If college loans are not paid off, then when they do get a job the IRS takes any refund they would get for years.
How do people pay back educational loans if they cannot find a freaking job other then flip burgers with 4-6 years of education under their belt.
I do not want a masters in biology to be handing me fries and a drink, nor do I want laid off Liberians checking out my grocery's.
Interesting thing this new protest, right time, wrong place. [ I visualize the scene from the original Frankstine where the villagers massed with torches and stormed the Castle.]
-
well when the 1000 rioters are met with 2,000,000 pitchforks and torchs. thats when things will get interesting.
-
It was interesting to me, and also angering, that these idiots could shut down an entire port- could disrept their fellow American's lives, and not give ONE IOTA of a damn. I really think this is going to have to come to a head soon, because even though most of the OWSie protests are a barrel of pathetic laughs, the ones like in NYC, and OAK are a major nusiance. They need to be stopped, and fast, becasue I see those two groups escalating violence.

I can foresee an all out civil war.

Best clip I saw on this morning's news was a truck driver getting out of his truck to move the cones blocking his way, and chewing out the protestors telling them to get out of his way, that they didn't represent him.

I wouldn't endanger myself by getting out of the truck. Just keep driving. If they want get hurt or die for their "cause," I'd be glad to assist them in achieving that.

Imagine the outcry if the tea party showed up and shut down an abortion clinic.
Uh-huh. Exactly.

These freaks are nothing more than a waste of good oxygen. :bird:
And this is what needs to be happening when these asshats obstruct traffic
