What cowards to fire into a crowd like that. What traitors to stifle what very little ability we have for free speech and on behalf of the murdering fascists who have destroyed our democracy and are now on a rampage in Afghanistan, Iraq and targeting the rest of the world. Bastards.

These actions truly show what punks the OPD are. It takes real tough men and women to fire into a crowd of peaceful protesters. You fucking traitorous, pieces of shit. You are no better than Saddam Hussein.

They should be ashamed of themselves. We definitely are ashamed of them. They are a disgrace to the city of Oakland. Actions like these are the reason more and more folks hate the cops and their commanders.

FUCK THE POLICE!

To blame the Oakland Police's inexcusable actions on "anarchist snakes" is the talk of of someone
who is a slave in their heart and mind. The peace movement doesn't mean compliancy with our corrupt government, it means stopping the war machine! This Government is the same government that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killed the Kennedys, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and countless other people. These Capitalists are the same as those that brought Africans to this country as slaves, the same that sell poisons that cause birth defects, cancer what have you. Jerry Brown should be shot with rubber bullets, what a piece of shit. There is no fucking difference between any of these bastards.

all peace demonstrators are criminals?.....what are you talking about? do you hear what you are saying? its criminal to speak out against an injustice? well then i guess ending segregation must have been some sort of crime against humanity.....if getting hit in the face with bullets....wooden or otherwise... is what its going to take to secure justice and peace.....well then i guess we should all start wearing hockey masks or something......

“This is what SFPD should have done. THANK YOU OPD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You, (midnight striker), are such a sick, stupid, cancer on the love, goodness, and quest for truth, peace, and justice, in this World.

It is this type of, “creature”, (attacker hiding in midnight?), spewing its evil, that jails are most needed for, where this sick mind, may be allowed to fester in its own sickness or try to partake in love, peace, justice, and the creation of a World that endeavors to make life better for all with love as its goal not greed. The jails would have to be reformed first, but that is another story.

So Midnight shooter or striker or whatever your name is, to you, you creature, and all creatures, if cheering for pain and censorship, makes you so tingly then you are most likely lost forever to love, justice, and happiness.

Power to the peaceful

The only people wrecking havoc is the UNITED STATES Government on all the people in the world...Are all these patrioctic fools gonna keep waving their flags in celebration of mass murder and innocent blood as the Republicans shread our Constitution and tear away natural human rights? Anyone who supports war supports terrorism, war is terrorism!

Looking at the photos showing the locations and severities of the wounds on the injures, excessive forces were likely used by the Oakland Police on the peace activists. Take the legal actions against the Oakland Police to the highest degree the laws allow.

We cannot be intimidated by some thugs wearing the Oakland Police uniform.

Hey Duncangela!

ARE YOU NUTS?!! Mankind will NEVER get away from war. There are evil people in this world and you better get used to it. Natural human rights?!! What the heck are you talking about??! OH, THAT'S RIGHT! Saddam Hussein sits upon the throne of a benevolent monarchy, right? I forgot. The mass murder and attempted genocide, the rape and torture rooms, the invasion of his neighbors....all the actions of a real swell guy, right? You know, the world didn't step into Rwanda and Burundi, nor did they go after the Serbs until it was too late. We've chosen to not wait anymore for the impotent U.N. to do what they exist to do. So open your eyes and get a life. Pacifism is a dream of the weak.

What's the deal with the hippieophobia, patriots? Like on every other subject you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Use you computer to do a little more than to brainwash yourself, like do a little research so you actually know what the fuck you are talking about. yeah.
by U. N. did not approve the Bush WAR, (GET IT?)

You, say, among other things, "We've chosen to not wait anymore for the impotent U.N. to do what they exist to do."

You sick sad loser.

You, who are so oblivious, that you can not even tell when you are saying, that you are a thug, a member of lawless mob, and will do what ever you want, including killing, regardless of the whishes of the vastly out numbering you all, rest of the civilized World, as you make clear, in your sick and delusional way.

Yes, you are, "NUTS", as in evil, cowardly, and deranged.
See this interesting Chicago Indymedia article for reportage of A-5 and A-6 Indiana Guard training to quell similar protests there. Excercise is called "Indiana Guardian."

to reply to :are you nuts?

oh guy, be smart please,
don't be the xmas turkey.

the evil people that media and politics show to you are here just to mask other bad guys: your own politicians, and the other bad gov. that your governants keep in the shadow because they are useful. Saddam was useful during the iraq/iran war, all western governants were helping him, but now he's the devil...why?
perhaps just to hide something else, certainly more crappy...

be careful, because this time is the new time of darness,
this time is perhaps the next world war, bring by oil/military industry from western side of the world
because we are entering in a neo feudalism time, and lords are CEOs...

ps: great wwwsite on transnationales on

take a look...

over and out,
