wow, the first 30 of your 100 pictures show irresponsible behavior of people ALLEGEDLY associated with Occupy Oakland demonstrators. The General Strike has been going on since the wee hours of this morning, and you focus on the TWO locations where “Anarchists/Occupy Protestors” (notice how you liberally interchange the words) behaved badly. Maybe the people who did the actions at Wells Fargo were PLANTED there to get the crowd worked up. Unfortunately, this was the most ACTION you saw all day, because the Occupy participants are smarter, more responsible, and more peaceful than that. SHAME ON YOU! #generalstrike #oo

Doesn’t that make you angry; this will too…read it; why WE Occupy: A government regulator said in court Wednesday that roughly $600 million is missing from the books of bankrupt brokerage MF Global. The firm, headed by former New Jersey governor and Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Monday.This past weekend, executives at MF Global had been scrambling to sell the firm to Interactive Brokers, but the missing money scuttled the deal and forced it into bankruptcy, regulators said this week.Craig Donohue, CEO of CME Group (CME), the operator of the nation’s largest commodity exchanges, told analysts that his firm had determined MF Global broke government and CME rules requiring it to keep its customers’ funds separate from the firm’s assets.

OK, well, now there are 28 pictures that precede the THUG DESTRUCTION pictures. Take care, CBS, and know the we are watching YOU, too.

Why does every photo caption call them anarchists instead of criminal thugs?
MHRobson

Tens of thousands? You would think that in Oakland there would be enough losers to round up for a demonstration that size, but apparently not, as estimates are at the 3-5K range. I guess the rest were too drunk, high, lazy, or all of the above to hit the streets. I didn’t even see Jamarcus Russell in there anywhere!?! He’s unemployed!
But a congratulations is in order for the city. Sometime last year you seized the mantle of ‘Worst Major Metropolitan Area’ from Detroit and took it to new heights last night! Who knew that you could burn down rubble?
