Today’s forecast calls for a 90% chance of hippy beatdowns.
(SF Weekly) — As expected, hundreds of Occupy Oakland protesters have marched to the Port of Oakland in hopes of shutting it down as part of its movement to demonstrate against the 1 percent.
SF Weekly’s Kate Conger is at the scene and tells us that protesters have blocked the gates to the port, as the crowd chants “Whose port? Our Port.” By 6:30 a.m. the crowd grew to 400 marching Seventh and Middle Harbor Road. Police in riot gear have arrived and are attempting to drive through the crowd. Protesters are shouting “Pigs go home.”
A driver in an 18-wheeler also tried to drive through the crowd, honking his horn in frustration. A bus full of police in riot gear are attempting to break up the crowd.
Occupy protesters up and down the West Coast had been planning a massive demonstration today to shut down all the ports and disrupt the industry.
