This Just In
Occupy Oakland has been evicted from Frank Ogawa plaza in Downtown Oakland.
FINALLY.
My office just opened for the day (at 10:00am) because the Police decided to empty out the plaza starting this morning at 4:00.
This time it was peaceful. Thank goodness. I guess over a month of illegal camping in the city center, illegal drug use in the camp, riots, marches, broken offices, business closures and a shooting (& resulting death), piled on top of the over $700,000 per week cost for extra police enforcement this madness was costing the city finally brought Oakland's moronic mayor to her senses.
Walking from the parking garage to my building this morning I took this photo (and then had fun embellishing it with red):
Just another day at work in Oakland...
