Protesters Occupy Obama Campaign Headquarters, Issue Demands
18th August 2012
A hostage negotiator is said to be speaking with a small group of protesters who, arms linked, locked themselves inside the Oakland office. It appears they may have entered the building during normal operating hours but have since remained inside beyond the office’s regularly scheduled closing time. Police have been on the scene and were arresting the protesters at the time of this writing.
Guess they’re not getting enough free stuff from the gubmint.
If Scott Olsen is Bradley Manning, then putting him in the next cell would appear to be a win-win. (What is this fetish about Bradley Manning? It’s not as if he were an Oppressed Minority or murdered a cop or any of the Usual Excuses.)
It is not yet known what the list included or whether or not the Obama campaign had been made aware of the list or of this evening’s events.
If they want to get on Obama’s radar, they’re going to need to occupy a golf course or Martha’s Vinyard or something that actually forms, you know, a part of his life. Occupying a campaign headquarters is like occupying an ATM machine.
The Portland protest appeared more subdued but consisted of actions similar to that of the Oakland event.
Yeah, well, Portland is all White People so what would they know about breaking the law?
