Oakland police dispersed hundreds of protesters using tear gas and flash bombs on Tuesday night as crowds tried to re-enter a plaza outside of City Hall that the authorities had cleared earlier in the day. Oakland – not only, as Gertrude Stein said, is there no there there, there will soon be no occupiers there, either. Oh, and citizens of Oakland: Elizabeth Warren says she “created the intellectual foundation” for all the “occupy” poop. Keep that in mind as you watch this…

These people make it sound like the cops just appeared without warning in the middle of the night and started rousting them out oif their tents. In reality, they were given adequate notice to leave the park, with the knowledge that the police would remove them if they did not move voluntarily. Screw 'em!
Don't you know about the magic Police? They appear out of nowhere just when you did something really stupid.....hehe
THE VIDEO SHOWS NO FLASH BANG GRENADES BEING USED. LOTS OF SMOKE AND FLASH CAMERAS.....A FLASH BANG IS WAAAY MORE!
Having tossed a few in my career, you are right. You know when its a flash bang...it leaves a lasting impression..:) there was also some silly looking liberal woman who claimed they were shooting rubber bullets, also having been on the receiving end of those during training,You know when they hit you....They are of course embellishing to make themselves seem like victims...instead of what they really are..suspects...
Take a piece of rubber hose and beat the sh itzki out of each one that is rioting.
You can beat someones a s$ bad enough they will stop
What cracks me up is that the only person interviewed in the article was "Joaquin Jutt, 24, a digital animator".
Hmmm, how much does a digital animator make in California? Certainly enough money to make him want to go to work and not hang out with these idiots!
Digital animator is one of those "jobs" that you can say you have, yet nobody has actually paid you to do any of it yet. Sometimes because you haven't found the right niche, other times because you're just not good at it.
Kinda like my photography. Yes, I consider myself a professional photographer, because people come to me and pay me to take their pictures. But, since I'm just starting out, I'm not taking enough pictures to call it a living. But I'm working on it.
poppa, I believe you've hit at the core of this thing: the Occupiers want money for nothing... and their chicks for free.
Remember when the Tea Party rallies turned into violent riots? Ummm, me neither.
I think they should have just let them be. After all if you substituted the tents for mud huts or tin shacks they would have the utopia of N. Korea or Cuba that they so desperately want. Followed shortly by internal strife, fights, rape, thievery, and anarchism. Their own "security force" would be beating the crap out of them and taking what ever valuables they have. They would soon be running back to mommy and daddy. These idiots think the police just decided to oust them. IT WAS THE COMMIE POLITICIANS IN OAKLAND WHO DECIDED IT YOU DRUG ADDLED MORONS!!!!!
I have always been in favor of the water cannon trucks they use in Europe during soccer riots..200 mile per hour ice cold water works better than tear gas, it knocks you down, tears up your clothes, takes the fight out of you and it's environmentally friendly and cleans the stench of the protesters at the same time..Win Win..
There is nothing like the sight of a little commie protester rolling down the gutter soaking wet with their clothing in shreds looking like a drowned rat. Kinda warms my heart just thinking about it.
There's some great news stories today about the debris, drug paraphernalia, used condoms, buckets of raw sewage and other wonderful items left behind. Now the protesters are "out for blood" and coming back tonight to smash the "fucking" police according to some of their blogs in the Bay Area.
I sincerely hope they get the ass whopping of a lifetime tonight by O.P.D.
These are nothing but hired anarchists who are paid to do this. For once I would like to see it end very, very badly for these folks, and give the rest of these pieces of garbage some food for thought.
They fit the term "useful idiots" to a T.
Hey the little communist pupa want socialism they should be treated like a socialist government would handle rabble rousers...
I say that we need another stimulus, but this time it only goes to OWSers.. Heres the kicker though, they can only use the money to head to a current Socialist country... 2 weeks and a return flight and see if they wanna go sit on the street for it anymore.
Yea, 2 weeks isn't long enough.
NO return flight, let them earn their way back.
You mean, bring on the tanks?
The Oakland PD's tactics were a waste of good tear gas and time. To disperse an "Occupy" crowd, all a police department needs to do is spray disinfectant.
.........................
Parenthetically, do you know how to starve an OWS protester? Hide their trust fund dividends check under their work boots.
..........................
Superman had kryptonite. "Occupiers" have deodorant.
...........................
How do Occupiers settle disputes with one another? A mediator chooses and makes the parties guess a number between one and tent.
............................
During the "Occupy Cheyenne" event in Wyoming, a protester slipped away to a saloon for a break.
Fifteen minutes after the protester arrived. an old cowboy busted through the swinging doors. Beating the dust of the cattle drive off of him, he hollered, "Barkeep... set me up with a pitcher o' beer! I'm so thirsty, I could lick the sweat off a bull's balls!"
Foolishly thinking he might have a shot at love, the protester yells out, "Moo moo, Buckaroo!"
At least they don't have to get up for work.
