I saw pictures about the strike in Oakland I think they give bad name to OWS. We should not encourage this type of behaviour. I heard about a trucker who wanted to go home but people occupied his truck.
at San Diego
I would have had to cross a line of patrol cars and police officers to reach the protest who were hedged on 10' strip of grass against the building.
The police were more visible than the protesters limiting the freedom of speech through intimidation by overwhelming presence.
I do not care how much police is there. I have been in protest. Any violence turns public away from the movement.
or threat of violence
Is Occupy Oakland giving black eye to OWS?

OWS is a brand, those protesters are Americans. get your priorities in order.
