OAKLAND, Calif. (The Blaze/AP) — A day of demonstrations in Oakland that began as a significant step toward expanding the political and economic influence of the Occupy Wall Street movement, ended with police in riot gear arresting dozens of protesters who had marched through downtown to break into a vacant building, shattering windows, spraying graffiti and setting fires along the way.
“We go from having a peaceful movement to now just chaos,” said protester Monique Agnew, 40.
KTVU-TV has more:
The confrontation began after protesters started a large bonfire in the middle of a downtown street. Dozens of police in riot gear moved in on hundreds of protesters as the flames leapt more than 15 feet in the air from several large metal and plastic trash bins that had been pushed together.
Police warned protesters to clear out before firing several rounds of tear gas and “flash bang” grenades to clear the area.
In the aftermath of the police actions, protesters with cloth wrapped around their faces to protect them from the stench of the gas marched through the area chanting, “Whose streets? Our streets.”
Some marchers wore gas masks.
Glass covered streets and sidewalks from windows of area businesses that were shattered.
Graffiti on the wall next to one of the damaged shops read, “This act of vandalism was not authorized by the general assembly. Peaceful protest.”

The far-flung movement of protesters challenging the world’s economic systems and distribution of wealth has gained momentum in recent weeks, capturing the world‘s attention by shutting down one of the nation’s busiest shipping ports toward the end of a daylong “general strike” that prompted solidarity rallies across the U.S.
About 3,000 people converged on the Port of Oakland, the nation’s fifth-busiest harbor, in a nearly five-hour protest Wednesday, swarming the area and blocking exits and streets with illegally parked vehicles and hastily-erected, chain-link fences.
Port officials said they were forced to cease maritime operations, citing concerns for workers’ safety. They said in a statement they hope to resume operations Thursday “and that Port workers will be allowed to get to their jobs without incident. Continued missed shifts represent economic hardship for maritime workers, truckers, and their families, as well as lost jobs and lost tax revenue for our region.”
Supporters in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere staged smaller-scale demonstrations; each group saying its protest was a show of support for the Oakland movement, which became a rallying point when an Iraq War veteran was seriously injured in a clash with police last week.
The larger Occupy movement has yet to coalesce into an organized association and until the port shut down had largely been limited scattershot marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September.
Organizers in Oakland had viewed the day as a significant victory. Police said that about 7,000 people participated in demonstrations throughout the day that were peaceful except for a few incidents of vandalism. In fact, the city’s mayor called it a “good day” for the protesters and the “99 percent movement:”
One of the protest leaders, Boots Riley, touted the day as a success, saying “we put together an ideological principle that the mainstream media wouldn’t talk about two months ago.”
His comments came before a group of demonstrators moved to break into the Travelers Aid building in order to, as some shouting protesters put it, “reclaim the building for the people.”
Riley, whose anti-capitalist views are well-documented, considered the port shut down particularly significant for organizers who targeted it in an effort to stop the “flow of capital.” The port sends goods primarily to Asia, including wine as well as rice, fruits and nuts, and handles imported electronics, apparel and manufacturing equipment, mostly from Asia, as well as cars and parts from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai. An accounting of the financial toll from the shutdown was not immediately available.
The potential for the chaos that ultimately erupted was not something Riley wanted to even consider.
“If they do that after all this …” He paused, then added, “They’re smarter than that.”
But the peace that abided throughout the day, did not last into the night.
Occupy protesters voicing anger over a budget trim that forced the closure of a homeless aid program converged on the empty building where it had been housed. They blocked off city streets with Dumpsters and other large trash bins, starting bonfires that leapt 15-feet in the air.
City officials released a statement describing the spasm of unrest.
“Oakland Police responded to a late night call that protesters had broken into and occupied a downtown building and set several simultaneous fires,” the statement read. “The protesters began hurling rocks, explosives, bottles, and flaming objects at responding officers. Several private and municipal buildings sustained heavy vandalism. Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested.”
Protesters reported running from several rounds of tear gas and bright flashes and deafening pops that some thought were caused by “flash bang” grenades. Fire crews arrived and suppressed the flames.
Meanwhile, protesters and police faced off for the rest of the night in an uneasy standoff.

In Philadelphia, protesters were arrested earlier Wednesday as they held a sit-in at the headquarters of cable giant Comcast
In New York, about 100 military veterans marched in uniform and stopped in front of the New York Stock Exchange, standing in loose formation as police officers on scooters separated them from the entrance. On the other side was a lineup of NYPD horses carrying officers with nightsticks.
“We are marching to express support for our brother, (Iraq war veteran) Scott Olsen, who was injured in Oakland,” said Jerry Bordeleau, a former Army specialist who served in Iraq through 2009.
The veterans were also angry that returned from war to find few job prospects.
“Wall Street corporations have played a big role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Bordeleau, now a college student. He said private contractors have reaped big profits in those countries.
In Boston, college students and union workers marched on Bank of America offices, the Harvard Club and the Statehouse to protest the nation’s burgeoning student debt crisis.
They say total outstanding student loans exceed credit card debt, increase by $1 million every six minutes and will reach $1 trillion this year, potentially undermining the economy.
“There are so many students that are trying to get jobs and go on with their lives,” said Sarvenaz Asasy of Boston, who joined the march after recently graduating with a master’s degree and $60,000 in loan debt. “They‘ve educated themselves and there are no jobs and we’re paying tons of student loans. For what?”
And among the other protests in Oakland, parents and their kids, some in strollers, joined in by forming a “children’s brigade.”
“There’s absolutely something wrong with the system,” said Jessica Medina, a single mother who attends school part time and works at an Oakland cafe. “We need to change that.”

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 10:57amRight on. I would also add that this speaks strongly of Unions taking charge to the protest. Protesters at the Port makes no sense. Unions are what is causing problems at the Port.. Whether these people are hired or are union members, it is backed by the Unions for destruction and to keep people who want to work from wroking this is how Unions work.

We must just wait them out if they don’t get the reaction they want they will get bored and move on but if we react then it will give Obama reason to use Martial law to close down our Constitution if cops all across the United States start to us force to fight these thugs, then Obama will say look we have riots in the streets all across the country so I NEED TO TAKE CONTROL for the good of my country, so be careful what you wish for because i am sure we won’t like the out come.

Now any one with any brains in their head, and you do not have to be super intelligent to know what will happen in that scenario; the ones with no morals, no qualms about violence against anyone, having a sadistic nature and willing to act out on their impulses would control everyone else, there would be rapes, murders, assaults, acts of depravity not only on adults but also on children, anarchists have no real concern for any one other than themselves. I can tell you that these gatherings are going to get more and more violent, if the authorities where these are taking place and take some very drastic measures to control it before it turns into a full blown, down and dirty vicious rioting where a lot of people will be harmed and massive amount of property will be destroyed. They need to be like Japan and bring in the Fire Engines with the water cannons mounted on the upper part of truck and turn the water on the rioters and hit them with a stream of water at about 175 pounds per square inch, don’t need the shields of the police or the batons, or tear gas, just knock them on their ass and round them up.

She‘s chosen evil and hatred on EVERY issue I’ve seen except that one. There must be some twisted thinking for it. It’s obviously not because she cares about protecting the innocent. In her twisted mind she says she justifies their idiotic behavior for a revolution while completely disregarding the innocents being hurt in the camps and the likelihood of millions dying of starvation if that were to happen. He/she must be a Muslim extremist because she always talks about Muslims even when the story has nothing to do with them.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 2:31pmImagine this: Oakland is the template. It will recede and the organizers just try to keep the movement alive to an extent throughout the cold months of winter and begin a planned surge during the Spring and Summer of 2012. As the movement grows the violence escalates. The protests turn into sustained riots in multiple metropolitan areas of the nation. As the election draws near, and if the numbers are not polling well for BHO, it is discovered that the OWS is planning to “Occupy Polling Stations” and create riots at polling stations nationwide. Reluctantly, Obama is forced to implement unprecedented measures in modern times to ensure the safety of the citizenry including the curtailing of 2nd Amendment rights and a postponement of the 2012 election until order is restored. The left will try to entice a violent right-wing response as the collection of now illegal weapons is undertaken in conjunction with the election postponement. If such a response occurs in various locations, lets say from a well-armed militia(s), and politicians become targets, a full-fledged implementation of martial law may take place. Being that the majority of our troops will be fulfilling their roles overseas, a well-equipped, well armed civilian security force will be needed to be quickly assembled. Various Union organizations may quickly offer their services to the President in this time of national crisis……..DONT PLAY THE ROLE THE LEFT HAS SCRIPTED FOR US.

Oakland is a total writeoff, and nobody outside of Oakland (and hardly anybody in Oakland) gives a rat’s patootie about it. Oakland was already occupied with criminals, riffraff, and ne’er-do-wells, and it was already “governed” by the usual bunch of California moonbats. Oakland shut down a very long time ago, and I doubt very much that it will ever start up again.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 8:03amPresident Obama’s agenda is entering its final phase! http://commonsense21c.com/
An economic crisis, ending in violent chaos is the prescription for replacing a Republic with a Dictatorship. Since taking office, Mr. Obama’s agenda has been a blueprint for establishing that economic crisis.
That agenda is approaching completion. The economic crisis is almost upon us and the civil unrest to justify a declaration of martial law and suspension of the Constitution has started with the “OCCUPY WALL STREET” campaign.
On February 24, 2011 President Obama informed Congress that he would not enforce the laws that he disagreed with. Thus, Mr. Obama declared himself a Dictator? Is this our new form of government? A Dictator does not require the approval of Congress! Dictators don’t resign and dictators don’t allow free elections! The “OCCUPY WALL STREET” is the beginning of the final step to consolidate tyrant’s power!
The American Revolution has not been in such danger since the War of 1812, will we allow the tyranny of King George III to return under new management?

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 8:01amAny one who gets goes to college and gets a worthless degree then can’t get a job does not deserve sympathy. The mechanical engineering degree I got required “shop” courses to graduate….you actually were required to learn something you could use in the real world. I used my pipe fitting course more than I ever used calculus!

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 8:17amLooking back, I wish I had chosen a more practical career rather than computer science. Sure, it pays good now, but if these idiots get what they want, and destroy the banks and the capitalist system, you have skills that will be valuable in the coming barter system. I don’t see anyone trading food for what skills I can provide.

Computer programming requires high analytical and logic skills. Those kinds of skills are transferable to other occupations. Consider for example being the math teacher for your neighborhood if the schools go down in flames, or if homeschooling becomes “not an option, but a requirement”.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 10:06amMy grandfather once told me that during the great depression their were plenty of jobs, and plenty of people unwilling to do them. Seems to fit now too. Who cares if you gave a degree. Dig a ditch till your dream job rolls around. Today whiny generations need to learn what scraped knuckles and bloody lips feel like.

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 5:09pmThey got you gulled against your own interests. Blaming people for not having a job. Like if you’re not a entreprenaural “genius” or a paper pusher making money off of other peoples labor-you have to justify your existence.Shame how the right wing capitalist class controling your media outlets have gulled you to vilify wealth distribution.The good news is everybody is rising up except you stick in the mud brainwashed gulls.[puritanical, meanspiritued and out of touch with authentic humane values]Watch how even your media abandons you as they’re running scared already.real democracy is coming -[guaranteed job or living wage is just and democratic for a 21stc nation.You'll come along as you right wingers always do -relunctantly till a tipping point is reached then you proclaim it as your own conservative authentic values [civil rights, womens rights ,labor laws etc].

Posted on November 4, 2011 at 10:01amROSE-ELLEN I take it that you do not understand that Muslims in the Middle East do not give one Damn iota about you or any other infidel, the only thing they would do for you is to kill you by smiting your neck, that’s cutting you head off if you do not convert to Islam.As for Israel they have never been defeated in battle since they became a country, and wont be now. If you think Universal Health Care, a guaranteed job from the government where everyone makes the same wage, and free higher education, paying about a 55 to 65 percent income tax to pay for all of the stuff you think is free is cool then why are you still here, go live there in one of those countries. The early retirement age, the universal health care, the free college education, and the early retirement, with their benefits are causing all of those countries to have financial crises worse than ours is right now, they all all looking at bankruptcy or seriously cutting back on everything. They can not borrow enough money to get more than their heads above the water of debt, they have to make drastic cuts in everything, wages, benefits, schooling,any where they can and raising taxes even more.I wont say your stupid you are just misinformed about progressionism, socialisim, liberalism.Europeans will not prevail as socialism is a failure it never works, and sorry we do not dominate the IMF bank. It is run by Progressives, socialists, and liberalist like George Soros who is one of the richest men in the world.

Posted on November 4, 2011 at 11:07am@Rose Ellen. I guess you are not the brightest bulb on the string. European countries are not Democracies, they are nanny states where the citizens suck off the government teat from cradle to grave they are subject to the governments rule not really being free. Hell we had to go and save most of those countries in the last century not only once but twice, and to this day they still can’t defend themselves. Russia is on the path back to communism, Iran is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, China is building up their military, N Korea is making noises again, and all the Muslims still hate all of us infidels including you Rose Ellen, if you are not a believer in Islam you are a infidel and if you will not convert to slam as the Koran states Muslims are to strike you on the neck and decapitate you. All Muslims are taught the same, all are taught Jihad, the Holy War to convert the who world to Islam. They are waiting for the Caliphate Who will supposedly led them in conquering the world and converting the whole world to Islam. Palestinians are not victimized, their Muslims just like the rest of the middle east. Oh by the way I forgot to mention that we also had to save the Middle Fox is not.The richest Senators worth more than 100 million to 450 million, of which there are 7 and 5 are liberals or socialists same meaning. You know who has all the money in socialist countries, the ones that run the government have way more than the citizens, always have you have been scamme
