Man shot and killed near Occupy Oakland

Man shot and killed near Occupy Oakland. “The person on the ground was not part of the occupation. I can verify that,” Shake Anderson, an Occupy Oakland organizer told AP. “This is a street incident. It happens all the time.” Yeah, the dead guy wasn’t on the official guest list. Must’ve been a party crasher. OO is celebrating its one-month birthday, ya know. Whoo, whoo!

  • The OWS had a birthday cake to celebrate their 1 month anniversary and some dude got pissed because they used a candle instead of a crackpipe on top of the cake so he shot the mofo. Next month they best have 2 crackpipes on that cake.

  • He was probably dropping off the daily supply of illegal narcotics to the OWS morons and got robbed by someone who knew what he was carrying.

    I mean this is Oakland...right in the heart of Liberal-land where there are more killings than in any conservative areas of the country....Ahhh another liberal success.

    Pssst its also not racial since a black guy shot another black guy..had it been a white guy shooting back (Oh year the dead guy had a gun) the riots would have started immediately and many OWS'ers would already have new TV's and running shoes, and Ipads and Iphones....
