Tonight is the last night of the Oakland Crucible’s Fire and Arts Festival. It takes place right next to West Oakland BART so it is very accessible. A night full of fire, art, insanity and great photo ops. Check it out, more info can be found here.

High Gas prices increase bike sales
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
It makes sense. I mean yeah we complained and complained when gas prices soared up to two dollars per gallon, and cried when they sky rocketed past three dollars per gallon. When they hit four dollars per gallon we were sort of in shock. And now they they’re nearing five dollars per gallon we’re buying fucking bikes! We’re not gonna take it! I myself have not been driving lately. I bus to work, walk home. Drive sometimes. I never drive when going to San Francisco or anywhere with a BART station near by. I BART it all over. I love my bike. Besides, no DUI that way when I hit a local bar! Bicycles the only way to go!
Oakland Oscar Grant BART Police Shooting Riots 01/07/09
Friday, January 9th, 2009
First I shall say that this post has nothing to do with the actual crime behind the riots. This is not about Oscar Grant or the BART Police officer who shot and or murdered him. People have reason to be outraged, but we have tons more reasons that effect us directly, have been largely ignored and going on for decades. I’m glad at least this got you guys together to speak up.But I do I think last night was completely uncalled for.
Don’t get me wrong. I think we should have the right to assemble. But when people start breaking innocent business owners property, burning cars and hurting others… then you can not assemble.
Last night was like a sideshow without cars. Not a protest.
Most of the true protesters went home before all this started.
The kids or whatever you want to call them started gathering and acting fools.
Seems they had a few ill minded ring leaders wearing mask acting as if they were genuine to the cause. I bet they were Provocateur Agents. White people in mask rioting? LOL Definition Agent Provocateur
Yeah sure, some of them could have been genuine and wanting to hide their identity from work or whatever. But read about these agents. They do exist.
We gotta remember, our very own government puts people into crowds to instigate this sort of situation.
If you have masses of people protesting in a peaceful manor then they really can not do anything. They WANT you to act up, they can’t wait for you to give them the green light so they can go in and break you up and discredit your peaceful intent with acts of violence.
So they throw some of these agents in to start the actions and then all the youngsters follow making YOU the protesters the bad guys.
Also…. FUCK THE POLICE? Yelling that over and over? Really? For one, BART Police was involved in this shooting, not Oakland Police. OPD is out there risking their lives so you can be safe. Because trust me, without them people would be killing each other at much higher rates. This picture here shows a cop stuck doing something I’m sure he does not want to be part of. Because it is his job. To protect us. And last night we needed to be protected from idiots. Business owners are very thankful that the police were there to stop further damage from the “community”.
See what I’m saying here? Don’t fuck up your city cause a few insiders start it off. Stop them. Remain on a peaceful message. Control those around you, isolate the who-riders and let them know they are alone in committing their crimes. All this bullshit talk about “community” from angry “members” of the “black community” then you go destroy your own community. WTF?
What would Ron Dellums do?
Oakland is Proud. Act like it.
