Man tackles bank smasher at Occupy Oakland General Strike
Out of roughly 1000 people on an anti-capitalist march in Oakland, CA, a few started smashing bank windows. This man tackled one of them, after he smashed a window at City National Bank on Webster street. I asked him why-I was reporting for KQED radio that day. See more of my videos for more of the General Strike, and other Occupy Oakland protests. November 2, 2011. Contact me for questions about use www.andrewstelzer.com
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Haha, moma’s boy got his 30 seconds of fame here. Too bad he’s from San Francisco and seems like a bitch, because now there’s going to be ‘copy-cat bitches’ defending the values of a protest – by tackling „unknown fiends“ that dress in black and hide their faces. Seems brave.
they’re pushing charges and arresting people that are non-violent anyways. why not fight back a little?
The Black Bloc lives on. Fuck OWS
@cheechanchux
source?
@marcelocm07
Right, fuck part of the 99. Dumbass Occutards.
quit calling me citizen
@repogod911 That’s why they dress differently. Not only that, but the police will ALWAYS find a reason to go violent. If the protestors refuse to move they’ll get pepper sprayed, beaten, or shot with a bean bag. Besides, if the police try and use Anarchists as a reason for going violent against all protestors, then I guess that just shows how corrupt they are. The police are just doing their jobs for the most part. Either way, police being forced to use those means is inevitable.
@XKUNXEntertainment Terrorist much?
@ReThinkHeroic The Anarchists will be the reason people are getting the shit kicked out of them by police. Just as the man said in the video; they give them a reason to crack down.
@odyman3
No sir I have not, in fact I pulled ALL of my money made out of banks over a year ago.
My comment still stands. Smash them to the god damn ground
@XKUNXEntertainment and you’ve never taken a bank loan RIGHT?
@ReThinkHeroic They’re not gonna help when most of these people are paid by police to do this, or are undercover cops causing violence to disrupt the protests.
FUCK THE BANKS SMASH MORE WINDOWS BURN THEM TO THE GOD DAMN GROUND
What a piece of shit, he takes it upon him self to be the grand fucken wizard of Occupy, regurgitates some wannabe-Ghandi bullshit and basically says he has the right to determine what the movement is and does. Little Blackshirt fascist fuck.
ahahahaha tryna b a hero dumcunt!
@marcelocm07 yeah, but who ya gonna call when someone steals your iPod while you’re out protesting corporations (like Apple)? Certainly not the anarchist who stole it, lol.
@Castartanarchy i’m sorry, it’s hard to read something written by someone who can’t type without drool splashing up from their keyboard. here’s a suggestion…why don’t you put on your drool bib, spaz helmet and ‘tard tether, and go outside to play? Only this time, when you’re making mud pies – please don’t crap in the sandbox….the flies follow you home and cause problems for the whole neighborhood.
OWS destroying property that american citizens worked for.
lock all those assholes up
Kick that little pricks butt!
From Oakland to Greece…
No Justice, No Peace…
FUCK THE POLICE!!!!!
those are cops
@michaelglass00 The message should be change, not destruction. War is destruction, and you DO NOT want to make this a war, cause occupy will lose.
@Michaelglass00 – mechanism than common agreement between individuals. „We agree that killing is wrong, so let us agree that we will protect each other from those who would try to kill us.“ That is a law, sunshine, and as soon as the first law shows up, you no longer have an „anarchy.“
How about YOU educating yourself on anarchism, instead of thinking you’re qualified to teach a lifelong political activist and polisci minor the fundamentals of a concept you clearly don’t understand yourself.
@Michaelglass00 – which, as I have said, is exactly why anarchy will not work anywhere in our lifetimes: stupid little pissant tyrants like this who just want to destroy things and break shit because actually thinking about issues and working on constructive solutions is too much like real work. Furthermore – as your own examples point out – any social movement that starts out as anarchy becomes a government (and thus not an anarchy, by definition) as it succeeds and grows, if by no other…
@michaelglass00 – What has „anarchism“ done for Greece? Bread and circuses until they have to be propped up by the rest of the EU just to survive. EZLN is a leftist group, not anarchist. Christiana is a community with rules and law enforced by common agreement, again: not an anarchy.
And these stupid little kids in their facemasks breaking windows aren’t „anarchists“ either. They’re obnoxious little dicks throwing a childish fit and risking the safety of innocent people in the process.
