Occupy Oakland: Black flags, white faces

Published November 3, 2011 4:00am ET



Everything you need to know about the occupy movement is contained in this two-minute video from Oakland. It comes via Verum Serum, who has gone to the trouble of posting tons of footage and photographs of the mayhem that some are still calling a “mostly peaceful protest.” Lots of Anarchist black flags. Lots of stuff gets broken. And incidentally, not a lot of racial diversity.

In this second video (forgive the ad), you see them continue to trash the building they had been grafiti-ing, a Whole Foods grocery store. I suspect the real 99 percent was raised better than to behave this way.
