    It's Oakland. Any town that had Crack for food stamps as a culture or had M.C. Hammer representing they're hard core. As most know if one doesn't get their way distroy them so no one can have it. Equal, right?

    I'm starting to blame games with "Reset" as an option.

    "Two day party"? Were they protesting being jobless by having a rave?

    I hope we don't end up a socialist country with these people going down in history as something good.

    I grew up in the Oakland hills in the fifties and sixties. Worked in the downtown area for 38 years. Moved to the burbs in '66. It used to be a pretty good place back then. But since the Vietnam War it has been degraded for numerous reasons. Always in San Franciscos shawdow it will forever be the also ran. Far too liberal, way too much crime and inner city decay. I'm afraid that Oakland is doomed just like many other cities in our great nation. Overall, it's a rather sad situation. Many of the protestors are not even from the bay area!! Oakland sure can't afford the lousy publicity and almost constant strife! The cops are damned if they do, and damned if they don't!! May God help all of us!![:(!][:(]
