ACLU rules, Oakland burns


Under a lawsuit settlement reached earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union now must be consulted before Oakland, Calif., police can alter their crowd control policies.

The agreement now may be called into question following WND’s exclusive report yesterday that revealed the ACLU is a full partner of the main group that has been agitating the protest movement surrounding the Trayvon Martin case.

Commentators have been perplexed at how Martin protest crowds last Sunday were reportedly able to control Oakland streets for more than three hours, terrorizing drivers and attacking reporters without police interference.

KGO-TV in San Francisco reported that on Sunday, following the George Zimmerman verdict, “for more than three hours, protesters had complete control of 14th and Broadway near Oakland City Hall, preventing any cars from getting through.”

    The inmates control the asylum. Coming soon from John Carpenter "Escape from California" .. We should build a fence around the border of California.

      Hopefully the next earthquake will push it loose into the ocean.

    "Hopefully the next earthquake will push it loose into the ocean."

    Just LA and parts of SF would be a nice start

      I was in SF for awhile before returning to Vietnam in 1970, as I remember and there was still a good French restaurant in the Tenderloin then. Haven't been back for ages, but I understand it is the worst and most dangerous part of SF now. That was my most memorable of many bad hangovers as my friend and I took turns buying the French owner glasses of Cognac and he in turn would buy one for us. Man, I don't even like to think about the next day. I couldn't even get straightened out on Bernstein's wonderful Bloody Mary's.:)Too bad it's closed now. They used clam juice in theirs and always had a big, round block of excellent extra shape cheddar cheese with crackers on the bar also.

    Did see Janis Joplin come out of a store and get into her Porsche.

    Neat. She was one of a kind, that's for sure, Southern Comfort and Heroin will definitely be the death of you.:) She and Jimmy Hendrix both died fairly close together as I remember. My misadventures below.
