The Chron and the Trib are showing photos of the windows that were smashed in that area of downtown Oakland. Are the people who did this my neighbors?
I guess it’s finally quiet in Oakland after someone gets hit in the head with a hammer. I can’t for the life of me understand the sheer sense of entitlement that act must entail, and why burning the flag or smashing windows of hard-working Oaklanders is supposed to do anything for Trayvon, or anyone else. He’s dead so justice for him will have to come from a higher power, but for me I’m sick to death of mobs smashing things here in the city that I love. They can all go F themselves for all I care as they are so proud of telling the police.
PRE: July 27, 2013 FYI
The Tribune is reporting:
” a doctoral student in anthropology pleaded not guilty to charges he smashed the window of a downtown Men’s Warehouse store during a protest last week”
“The former philosophy lecturer and teaching associate at San Jose State University has described himself as a member of the Occupy movement on the UC Davis campus, where he has been a student since 2010.”
I always thought that San Francisco had wild tourists, but not anymore.
Why not San Francisco? San Francisco is a global symbol of swash buckling capitalism, why not there instead of Oakland?
Well, Professor? What is your answer?
