Occupy Oakland Camp Dismantled by Police -- Again

• You've confused cause and effect. (And I didn't call anyone any names,) I think that the entire debacle is the unfortunate result of trying to apply power (wishing things were different instead of dealing with them as they really are,) which leads to waste of time and resources. Maybe your solution is to simply line them up and waste a single shot to the head. That's hardly very charitable of you. What will you do when somebody starts disliking you the same way?

• Boston tea party awarded the U.S freedom, the occupy movement would relieve them from their clutches, I hope. 

• Great idea! Purposely cost fellow citizens and 99%ers their jobs and unnecessary tax dollars! Yea because making a problem worse always helps solve it! I like how you say they created the problem by being successful, too bad not everyone can be loser bums and part of the solution like you. Then they will all leave and there will be no money in Oakland anymore, jobs will go away, crime will rise, more people will be homeless etc. Boy that sounds like a plan. Thankfully morons like you are never given the opportunity to be in charge of anything. 

• Well don't just demand it, do something about it. Otherwise you are just complaining. That is the OWS attitude and part of the problem. All complainers  and no doers which is probably why most of them don't have jobs or the things they want in life. You rely on others to give it to you. And as TheMan said, much of it is "generation me" having to actually put forth effort for return, it is just so unfair. Things are tough right now and there is much corruption in our government and Wall Street that should be fixed, OWS is not helping that at all so far...

• Well lets see..... They cost thousands in property damage. They cost thousands of taxpayer dollars for public services and law enforcement. They have demonstrated that they have no solution in mind and are not unified on the problem. The only people they have seemed to really inconvenience and piss off are in the 99% they falsely claim to represent. That a pretty good start!!!

• Yes there are and ones that pay more than that as well, and the people who really want them are competing for them instead of sitting on their ass complaining. 

• It won't do any good! They would still actually have to go apply and interview and get the job and maybe even be worth a crap as an employee. Someone with more personal motivation would beat them too it.

• OK here's a start...the FED, got corruption, and wall street. That's what is being protested. But I have yet to see the first protester in front of the white house or the capitol bldg. Why is that?

• Well, YOU are writing about them. There not dead and forgotten...or worse, forgotten and not dead.

• You should believe it, have you been living under a rock? I don't know about you, but I am about fed up with all of the crap going on between the FED, Government corruption, Wall Street ... I would rather stand up and be heard that I demand change than just lay at home and say " it will all be ok..." This may not be the best method of enacting change, but it sure is stimulating thought around not just a city or state, but the country and even the world. What would you do differently?

• Yes and they're accomplishing so much! Uh, what exactly have they achieved again, I forget...

• My personal opinion on the matter is... we are a country founded on squatting on someone's land and it's coming back full circle. We are a nation trying to claim our nation for ourselves.

• What, is every homeless camp now styling itself OWS?  

• Talk about not paying attention...

• And I totally agree. They DO need to get jobs, but there aren't any even minimum-wage retail jobs left. That's why they're occupying all over the country...

• And the Occupy Oakland people are just going to keep on coming back because the SOURCE of the problem is not being addressed. This will continue until the Occupy Oakland people cost the Oakland municipal government too much money, so much that they start having to lay off the OPD officers. What are they going to charge the OO protesters with, and can they afford to keep on arresting them? Eventually the 1%ers, the well paid underlings of the truly rich, are going to realize the true scope of the problem that they have created for themselves by being 1%ers. Oakland's portion of the 12,400 billionaires, as identified by the IRS, will have to go to some other sponge else because there's no money left to be squeezed from Oakland.

• Actually no they didnt.  Go look up the tax records of the land.  Nobody has paid taxes on it since 2004.  The property is not owned by anybody but the people of the state of california.     

• Wow, SFWeekly's bias is showing through with this article.  Who were the owners of the property?   This property was specifically selected because there were no owners of it.  Nobody has paid taxes on the property in over a decade. The property was a piece of blighted land with no construction on it whatsoever.  It is vacant land in the middle of the city.   Whoever called the police is guilty of a crime of filing a false police report.     

• Wow, I can't believe this is still going on... These 'protesters' are the people that, when kids, would cry and act out simply for attention.  Or, if they wanted something, they would cry like a baby and scream until lazy Mom and/or Dad would just give in to their demands and provide their poor little baby with whatever it is they were crying for.  Little did they know they were not doing their little baby any favours as those very baby's have now turned into protesting hippies, who still do not know how to properly get what they want. These protests are useless, and all efforts are futile.  Grow up, and start thinking outside-the-box if you hippies wish to provoke change.  Me, I couldn't care less about what you're all going on about, but I can tell you, if I had the same cares as you all and felt it was time to do something about it, the first idea that pops into my head WILL NOT be to pitch a tent and cry like children 'cause the big bad "Man" isn't playing nice.

• I'll tell them you are hiring, ass haT.

• YOu have to admit dude, that is jsut like totally rocking. WOw. www.Total-Privacy dot US

• @novenator:disqus THEY WERE TRESPASSING YOU MORON!  THEY NEED TO GET JOBS!

• They squatted on someone's land...  I don't care how you feel about their complaints, you can't just take over someone else's property and claim you're being oppressed when they want it back...

• The OPD are only too happy to bash some skulls like the good little protectors of the rich elites that they are.
