Graffiti, attacking police, smashing windows to stores, shutting down banks that innocent citizens want to use

I knew this movement was just a bunch of angry, ignorant, anarchists.
It really is time to shut down this riot and tell the kids to go home. They definitely DO NOT represent the 99% of us.

The protestors plan on opening plants to make up for lost imports?

They have a right to protest peacefully which this is not. They do stuff like this and count on the restraint of others. However, they give up the right to have a legitmate complaint when they wear out that restraint and are introduced to sticks, tear gas and fire hoses.

No kidding. The Tea Party protests, who were committed to staying peaceful, were labeled violent extremists by the botoxed one. Yet these criminals, who have destroyed private property, taken over a homeless shelter, burned private property and bombed the cops, are heroes.

Here is the real story! Cops shooting peaceful protestors point blank with tear gas canisters in obvious attempt to injure or kill them.
Once the people try to establish their natural place as the rulers of this country, violence will occur.
Government knows no other way than overwhelming force.
Before this is over, you will see drones attacking American citizens in the name of fighting domestic terrorism.
The truth is the terrorists are the corporations, and Wall St.
This video does not show Scott Olsen being shot with tear gas. As far as we know he could have been hit with a rock thrown by a protester. Interesting how the video captures him moments before and moments after but not the actual injury or him on the ground with the tear gas going off next to him. This video is doctored to make it look like he was hit by the tear gas can.

Property destruction is "peaceful protest"? Really?

Why do people in the OWS wear solid black and cover their faces like Middle Eastern terrorists? Why should they hide their faces if they are "peaceful"?

The OWS people now saying they are upset with the anarchist in the mix causing all the trouble. LOL. What did these loons think would happen? I guess you get a bunch of stupid people together this is the result.

This is going to spiral into a G-20 style protest as time goes on.

Occupy Oakland General Strike Shuts Down Port; Anarchists ‘Bent On Creating Problems’ « CBS San Francisco
Quote:
The group at Maritime and Seventh streets had blocked trucks from entering and exiting the Port all night and the numbers appear to be growing.

Trucks that tried to exit with cargo were forced to turn around. However, drivers who attempted to leave without cargo are allowed to pass.

One big-rig driver who was trapped by the crowd Wednesday night said, “I just wanna go home. Why are they on top of my truck?”
Of course, OWS doesn't care that these truck drivers are part of the 99% and don't get paid if they cannot pick up and deliver their cargo.

Gov. Moonbeam seems absent on the riots. Did Obama instruct him to stand down?

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - A protest that shut down the Port of Oakland to show the broadening reach of the Occupy Wall Street movement ended in violence when police in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters overnight who broke into a vacant building, shattered downtown windows, sprayed graffiti and set blazes along the way.

At least four protesters were hospitalized Thursday with various injuries, including one needing stitches after fighting with an officer, police said. Several officers were also injured but didn't need hospitalization.

"We go from having a peaceful movement to now just chaos," protester Monique Agnew, 40, said early Thursday.

Protesters also threw concrete chunks, metal pipes, lit roman candles and molotov cocktails, police said.
