I was saying all day that they wouldn’t get violent again. The Bacon was in custody. And OPD would be all over it.
Well, I was wrong. Right now, on the news they’re saying about 40 people are running around downtown breaking windows.
It apparently started very peacefully, with about 1,000 protestors. Once most everyone went home, a small group started smashing windows. I think it’s pretty clear that this is not a case of some people who were overcome by the tension or emotion of the protest. These are the folks who had every intention of doing this from the start.
I’ve seen some comments online over the last few days, people who seem to have something against capitalism. They’ve been talking about targeting business.
What the fuck?!?
What, if anything, does this have to do with the issue? Do they even remember what happened? Are they thinking of Oscar Grant and his family at all? This is not how change is achieved.
I’m really bummed out, and completely pissed off.
I don’t even know what else to say. It’s so . . . frustrating.

If they wanted to make a statement about capitalism, maybe they just should stop shopping. They do realize it costs MONEY to replace those windows, and stores aren’t just gonna have gaping holes all over the place. Stupid people do stupid things.
My name for people like that would be a lot stronger than stupid people. They make me sick…
