If you don't riot, then you can't complain
by concerned citizen
I give the anarchists a lot of credit!! People are always dissen them as if they are too violent. Well what did being non violent get us today? It got us crushed!!! We weren't even a threat and they unleashed the entire Oakland Police Department and Bart Police Department on us. So much for peaceful assembly. Then when we knew we were outnumbered they trapped us in a block, and told us that we had two minutes to leave. The only problem was that we couldn't leave because we were boxed in like a bunch of rats. Let's remember how we got Mehserle in jail to begin with... it was due to our mobilization and when some things were burned down then they responded. Riot is the voice of the unheard... We need to come out in massive numbers Saturday January 30th at 6pm in front of Oakland City Hall... Enough is Enough! Whose Streets? Our STREETS!!!

I hate the "Police State" we live in! Everyone that is awake knows we live in a DICTATORSHIP where there is no justice and only the illusion of justice. Only death and despair handed down from the state is what we get and it will never stop until we all get together and put a stop to it! I can’t wait till tomorrow. It'll be exciting giving one big fuck you to the justice system by "OWNING" the Oakland Police tomorrow. I'm sick and tired of their oppression and the media act’s like we have rights and that everything is going to be okay when we don’t have shit for rights and everything is not going to be okay. How is being punched in the face and being called a nigger just before being shot in the back “okay”? Bullshit lies every fucking day. I hate this place they have created for us. I’m tired of it and I don’t want it anymore. We need to burn this racist system down in order for extreme change to occur. We can’t get what we want by speaking all the time. We've spoken out too much. They ain’t listning. They don’t listen to people who talk. The only time they listen is when they are afraid of us which is when: flaming newspaper stands go flying through bank windows setting the place on fire or battered cop cars get tipped over and burned or raining molotov cocktails and broken pavement blocks fall from the sky down onto their heads. There is no justice, only pain. They don’t work for us. The government hates us. They’d rather have us all gone. We are nothing to them. They treat us wrong like were not human. The government is exempt from getting punished and we all suffer when we get caught by them breaking the law. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! WHY DO WE HAVE TO LIVE LIKE SLAVES? I’m done talking. Now I want to see some action. Long live the Unruly Riotous Assembly (URA) Photobucket

Thank you very much.

We are not here to try and be the revolution, we are not here to try and compete for media time.

We are sick of the people coming in and taking our rage from us.


We fight this fight together, ideological differences are nothing.

I stood with Black Panthers, Socialists, Communists and everyone else yesterday.

Very few times have I felt as proud.

You are all our comrades, and we hope that we are yours.

Together in the streets we will seek justice for Oscar Grant, for poor people every where, and for all of those who find their lives outside of their control.

For everyone that has ever been grieved by the police.

Together We are the antidote for misery.

By any means necessary.

We will stand with you to the end.

OK. You want me to support people there were jailed for protesting/rioting.

Who's going to help support me in paying for the damages that were caused to my car? I've lost wages and i'm the only one that pays my bills. When are one of you going to come out here and support me?
