This is what’s happening in Oakland, California RIGHT NOW. Not Iran. Not North Korea. Not Zimbabwe. California. Police in full riot gear using concussion grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas on peaceful protestors.

I don’t know about you but this right here is more than enough proof for me that the Powers That Be are absolutely terrified of the #Occupy protests now happening in cities and towns all across the country.

If you’re looking for more info on the protests, this CNN opinion piece is a good place to start. For those of you already involved, please be safe, and remember: They use violence, that’s their tactic, not ours.
