I was down at Occupy Oakland this evening.....came home before shit hits the fan and it will hit the fan around 10:00pm. The police had actually fenced off the grassy area where the camp was located. The rally was in front of City Hall with the fenced off area behind them. Well......of course the fence came down and was neatly stacked against buildings and on the grass....safety when the police come in with tear gas and flash grenades and rubber bullets (they say it's bean bags) was a concern for those taking down the fence.
I would guess the crowd size to be at least 1,000 folks by 8:00pm when I left with more coming in.
The word is that Occupy SF is being removed tonight and they were asking for non-violent support in the City.
And just in case you didn't know......there is an Iraq Marine veteran who is in critical condition in Highland Hospital (Oakland) with a traumatic head injury from a 'projectile' to the head.....
