Protesters smashed a large window at President Obama's re-election campaign office in downtown Oakland late Friday night, tore down a nearby fence and vandalized cars, according to police, witnesses and video footage. (http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Protesters-damage-Obama-Oakland-office-3763014.php)
... When the window was broken, well over 100 people had joined what began as a rally against the city's handling of growing crowds at the first-Friday-of-the-month event called Art Murmur, a gallery crawl centered in the Uptown arts district from 6 to 9 p.m.
Protesters - who included Occupy Oakland activists - said the city was cracking down on vendors and performers who came into the neighborhood during the gallery crawl without permits. Until June, the galleries had closed down a block of 23rd Street, but the approach got too expensive and hectic.
... A group calling itself the East Bay Uncontrollables said it was responsible for the attack and called it a reaction to a federal investigation into anarchist activity.
Lauren Smith, a 30-year-old activist, said the goal of Friday's demonstration was to "create a space where people could have their social gatherings without asking permission from the city and the police department."
She said she was not at the rally but watched it live online. She said she did not agree with vandalizing cars, but that the window-smashing at the campaign office was justified.
"People feel betrayed by Obama. ... I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now," she said. "Oakland is a place where people are really struggling. When the pressure is released just a little bit, you see people go after those things that they see as responsible for the conditions."
Ah. The worms are turning on the head snake. Waiting for the lamestream media offices to be targeted, and local Dem offices as well.

When you support poor causes, like OWS, and don't deliver on the free stuff, they tear up and take ur stuff. Feel betrayed....Why? I'd like to ask one how he betrayed them.

You will get the same answer from every one of them. The Undefined Hope and Change that I envisionedin my head never materialized. I still have to buy my own cast, pay my rent, and the socialist Utopia didn't arrive

Yeah, I knew it will be the answer....But i'd like to still ask the question. Could become a case study. I've had this conversation with one of my friends kids who has turned into a type of OWS moron.

These ignorant buttwipes have NO clue why they are pissed, so it is NO surprise they usually act out against the wrong targets, but in this case it is bit of a "blind squirrel" moment.
