Hey, but it's their right to peaceably assemble  The Oakland Police Officer's Association, which represents the rank-and-file, estimates that the city will have spent about $2 million in the past two weeks on the police response to the protests, which at one point included help from more than a dozen outside law enforcement agencies. City officials said Friday that last week's Occupy Oakland-related events cost the city slightly more than $1 million, mostly for police overtime.

I like m&m candy but that's a bit much. Ok, just remember, it was you guys that brought up the M & M's. How do you confuse a blond? Ask her to alphabetize the M & Ms. The M's and the W's are usually easy enough, but the E's and 3's will always get them every time... (My blond kids just LOVE that...) |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

So much for the passive, non-violent, non confrontational protest. Liked the one quote about the Oakland group that has been invited by city officials to meet and discuss, yet they refuse to even consider it, and encourage members to get in the face of police and tear down barricades. This is going to get ugly soon, and most of their protest will be forgoten when it doers.

Maybe there are limits to how often people will take physical abuse and just turn the other cheek. |
