Costing the taxpayers i.e. the “99 percent” millions of dollars.
Mayor Bloomberg need not worry about planning a Super Bowl parade.
Police fire tear gas at Oakland, 200 arrested - Yahoo! News
When occupy oakland attempted to convert an abandoned building into a community center for the 99%, the police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets and many arrests. Typical state repression. Im on my way to NYC OWS for a show of collective solidarity. 7Pm at Washington Sq park!!
"Attempted to convert"....is that what they are calling it now??????? It's a vacant Building. Somebody owns it, but they thought it was OK just to take it over so they could make a headquarters. They didn't buy the bldg. They didn't rent the bldg. They were stealing the space!!!!!!!!!!
Someone needs to clue in these creeps that it's not done that way in the real world.
Oh, do you think some of the arrests were for breaking into city hall and while inside, burning some of the city's flags, flipping over a model of city hall, destroying the children's art exhibit? Yeah, real peaceniks they are!!
