Occupier-on-occupier violence at UC Berkeley
The Daily Californian article sent by Old Trooper doesn’t say it was occupier o occupier violence, but it sounds like it;
At about 5:09 p.m., the female student was approached by a man at “the northeast exterior of the Haas Pavilion,” according to a UCPD crime alert. The man asked the student if she was going to the protest on Sproul Plaza, and when the victim answered “no,” the suspect yelled at her.
“People like you are the reason that California is in debt,” he said, according to the crime alert.
The suspect then allegedly threw a full aluminum water bottle at the victim’s face.
It was the description of the criminal that did it for me;
The suspect was described as a white or Hispanic male in his early 20s, wearing a brown and green knit cap with earflaps and strings, a black coat and dark pants.
See? A knit cap with earflaps and strings…had to be a hippie. None of us in the 1% wear that shit.
Meanwhile the Occupy Portland Kremlin is planning to shut down all of the ports on the West Coast;
According to a statement from Occupy Oakland, this move is in “response to coordinated attacks on the occupations and attacks on workers across the nation.” “We call on each West Coast occupation to organize a mass mobilization to shut down its local port.”
Yeah, that’ll help the economy. The West coast police departments need to hire John Pike for training their officers because that’s what police do – maintain law and order for the majority of us.
By the way, if they need someone to swing a baton indiscriminately, I’m available for the rock bottom price of a plane ticket. Additionally, I feel no need to apologize for my actions in the service of law and order.

“People like you are the reason that California is in debt,”
No, people like the whining hippies, illegal aliens (douchebag alert–notice I did NOT say ALL immigrants) and those who live off the government teat with no intention of ever getting a productive job (See “Swipe Yo’ EBT” video on YouTube) are the reason California is in debt, and why America is in debt, because the politicians pandering for a reliable voting bloc have sold this country over to those who will not (as opposed to those who cannot) work in exchange for their votes.
“There was – there was once such virtue in this republic, that brave men would repress mischievous citizens with severer chastisement than the most bitter enemy.”

I rode the link and poked around The Daily Californian and this line from another story (“Rescheduled regents meeting reduced to one day after threats of violence”)
jumped out and slapped me in the face: “Cheryl Deutsch, president of United Auto Workers Local 2865, said she remained skeptical about the reasoning behind the changes but that the coalition would still be mobilizing.” Huh? UAW? What’s the UAW’s interest in a university’s rescheduled meeting? Well, it turns out that UAW Local 2865 represents graduate students, tutors, readers (?) and others at the school. Isn’t that just peachy?
Send me a ticket, it’s been a while since I got to swing a baton. Or OC anyone.
Well, AirCav, the UAW had to get someone to pay for their golf resort and the leaders’ pensions, the number of actual Auto Workers in the United Auto Workers has declined so far, the leaders would have to, you know, get an actual job. And pay for their own golf, and depend on Social Security when they “retire”.
I think I have a green head cover with ear flaps somewhere in my garage…it was issued for cold weather by the US Army, but I only wore it a few times in Germany many, many, many years ago. It sure kept my head warm.
@5: Snoopy caps rule!
I betcha those graduate student UAW smarties wouldn’t know a 9/16 combo from a 1/2 twin hammer impact wrench. I’m a lawyer and I do. Got ’em and much more. My house is piped with compressed air. But then again I’m the guy who rebuilt my Harley engine in my dorm room way back. I hate the UAW almost as much as I hate the Teamsters. I got rotten union stories, but I’ll spare everybody. My grandpa was a lawyer and private detective who spent a third of his life ferreting out union sabotage back in the ’20s by going undercover as a mechanic.
gee what can you say about this? its not like you didn’t see this coming.
This actually reads like occupier violence toward someone who claimed to NOT be an occupier. Color me shocked. (not)
