Occupy Oakland Begs For Bail Money


It seems things in Oakland have really gotten out of hand. The riots are understandable given that Warren Buffet's secretary is paying too much tax, but a schism in the Occupy movement has emerged. According to the mayor's office the Oakland lodge brothers are rogue outsiders. Evidently the mayor, Jean Quan, by virtue of her office is supposed to have the final word on all things Occupy.

“This splinter group inside Occupy Oakland – the ones who advocate violence – are not in sync with the rest of the movement,” said Sue Piper, Quan’s spokeswoman. “People who have been involved with the national movement – and a lot of people who live in Oakland – are really fed up with this splinter group. This is not what Occupy is supposed to be about.”

Right, so if anyone doesn't know what Occupy is supposed to be about call Mayor Jean Quan's office ask for Sue Piper and she'll clear it up for you. Eventually the city will probably have an Occupy department that can manage protests against the taxpayers and their values. In the meantime many innocent protestors who need their meds are locked up in the city's jail having been arrested without the benefit of a dispersal order and the movement is out of bail money. Until Mayor Quan can figure out how to funnel federal housing funds into the movement the situation is dire. Please be generous.
