Hundreds of Occupy Oakland goons went on a rampage today in downtown Oakland. The protesters smashed bank windows and roamed the streets with sticks.


USA Today reported:

Protesters supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement smashed the windows of a Wells Fargo bank branch in downtown Oakland on Wednesday during a day of demonstrations in protest of wealth inequalities.

A group of about 300 men, many wearing black, some carrying wooden sticks, was part of a group of hundreds who set out to cause a general strike in the area around City Hall. The smaller group smashed several windows of the Wells Fargo branch while chanting, “Banks got bailed out; we got sold out.” They also spray-painted an expletive on the outer wall of the bank. Employees were inside while this took place, but it did not appear that anyone got hurt.

Nearby, another group of demonstrators sat on the ground in front of a branch of Citibank, blocking one of the entrances and singing “

Michelle Malkin is following the latest violence.

UPDATE: The thugs and goons smashed up a Wholefoods Store.

    Right, ‘a mostly peaceful’ demonstration.

    But the ‘partially unpeaceful’ part was out of effing control.

    Pffft, I have a boom stick that spits lead.

    This is just random acts of destruction. Kinda

    Like my home on Halloween, two black youts

    Broke my fence in the front and back yard.

    Saw them, before they started. BB gun was not

    handy. Wife called the cops, no show as usual.

    Called in a drug deal going down once. License

    Plates and all, no cops, even had the roach they

    tossed out as evidence. No cops. You are on your

    Own. Buy ammo, gun, food, power, become self

    sufficient for your gubmnt could care less. In fact

    They are OK with a little death on the masses.

    Dictators do not care about the masses. Read

    History.

    Cops sit on their hands watching vandalism & anarchy take place right in front of them.

    Time for private enterprise to hire private security firm (like the Hell’s Angels) to protect private property from the mobs. ala Altamont – bring it on.

    The bottom feeder who resides in the White House is condoning it, so it’s okay.

    I guess we should get used to what’s going on because if he’s re-elected, this is our future.

    What is so hard about shutting down these protests. All you need is one guy with an AK47 talking about how he will protect the protesters from the police. Once the democrats realize they lost control of the protest agenda, they’ll shut the protests down.

    It happened in Atlanta:

    And Angela Davis apparently spoke to the protest crowd today in Oakland…
    Remember, that one who once noted, ‘We have to learn how to rejoice when pigs’ blood is spilled…’?

    Mainstream America, Oakland is…also known as a place where people just end up….

    Here is a parallel universe video to play at the same time in a second window as the above Oakland video. They are of the same length and the images between the two videos match up very well when played at the same time because they contain the same spirit…Life immitating art….>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFruWxzcYpo

    Melody Hopkins commented:

    Before you jump the gun, you might want to consider that it COULD be possible that this was a setup to make it look bad for the demonstrators. This happens ALL the time in protests and demonstrations. The opposition will send in people to destroy property….or in the recent case in Egypt where many Christians were killed by the military who are in power….they even go further than just property destruction. And before you jump all over me as being naive or worse, wouldn’t you feel a little foolish if this turns out to be true? Things are not always what they seem to be on the surface in heated situations like this.

    that chinese girl with the bullhorn hails from the communist bookstore in berkeley. she is at EVERY local demonstration, stirring up the proles. there are many such familiar faces in the crowd: professional rabblerousers. the big march to shut down the port was made up of mostly unions who bussed in their astroturf, as they are wont to do. local ‘news’, however, reported the crowd as “people from all walks of life…children, grandmothers, teachers, plumbers, and people in wheelchairs.” blech !

    Whole Foods has an outstanding Enviromental agenda compliance record. However, they are on the Obama grudge list for an embarassing opposition to Obamacare, a rare defection from within the left’s own camp. They are also opposed to unionized help. Attacking Whole Foods is more evidance this rioting is Organized directly by team Obama.

    So we see the democrat obama brown shirts.
    Just wait until next year?
    The unions were bused in with police escort.
    they have shut down the port.
    Remember when Bush was president and the unions shut down the port, Until the American People found out they were making 100k and the backlash started.
    The Backlash is still strong.

    Dem mayors aren’t going to do anything about their OWS protests because they’ve gotten orders from above. Doesn’t make any difference what the local community wants.

    YourMaster commented:

    Dems will seriously pay for not stopping all OWS protests on Nov. 5th 2012
    begin mass libtard layoffs unil election day… :)
    and,,, cutting all union wages and benefits…
    Rich people should make the union’s lives for supporting the OWS communists miserable until 0bama resigns.

    Beth just south of Berkeley and just east of San Francisco commented:

    Where are they from? One video showed a woman from Denver who couldn’t pay her mortgage but had the wherewithal to travel a thousand miles to stir up stuff in a city in which she doesn’t live.

    Coming home from Dia de los Muertes in San Francisco, I saw a preprinted sign on the ground in downtown Oakland … with a Teamsters Union logo.

    Spontaneous action my …
