* Fruitvale Bart Station - January 7th, 2009

I have several pictures that I will upload later. I do not have too many pictures during the civil unrest times as I ran out of battery. However my other homie has some so I'll upload them as well.

To see full size/scale pictures, just reply with the pic you are interested in and I'll post the full pic.

Anyhow, enjoy - I'll upload more later.

* Bart finally made a wise choice to bring the gates down. Many people were yelling at the officials in the station, we had to tell them to keep it cool. Tensions were starting to boil here.

* Prior to the closure, you can see that it was a wise choice as the station could have been stormed if people got out of control.

* On the scene, live status.

that sign that says "the system is guilty," what exactly is the system, and what is it guilty of? I have always wondered that. Are we not ALL part of this "system?"

the picture of oscar grant made me laugh cuz he looks high as balls in it

^ theres no point trying to figure it out. i'm glad people exercised their right to protest though.

Really? That is just stupid. The two things aren't even similar.

no comment

:laugh:

yeah, its good that people exercised their right to protest, but it shouldn't have gotten out of hand. Now people are more focused on the damage that was done, and not the tragedy that happened to Grant and his family/friends. What morons, completely counterproductive. Their actions give protesting a bad name.

Gaza protesters are using it as a reflection of Israel's persecution of Palestine.

Hey, anything to be heard sometimes.

^^ Yeah, I had a buddy who went to an anti Iraq war demonstration with a gigantic "Legalize Marijuana" sign. He was stoned as ****, it was priceless.

TONS of people used this as a way to protest Gaza/Palestine..
I personally didn't understand that as well.

Yeah that might have been it as well.

[QUOTE]Like its brother Cisco, "Wild I" definitely has some secret additives that go straight to the cranium. Another web page claims that this foul beverage is a conspiracy by the republicans to kill the homeless. Bums ask a liquor store clerk for Wild Irish rose by saying, "gimme a pint of rosie with a skirt," a skirt being a paper bag. Some don't want it cold either. It's called "wild" for a good reason, and bystanders should beware. Wild Irish Rose is sure to light a fire of drunken rage in your soul [/QUOTE]

sounds like a lovely drink...was that just on the floor chillin there? or was there a lot at the protest?

do these people have jobs???

i mean they are destroying stuff and busting stuff up and dont care im guessing no

Peaceful assembly for a relevant cause : All Good

Random ass Anti-Israel protesters : REALLY! What the hell does Oscar Grant getting shot have to do with your age old jew VS arab conflict?? NOTHING, get your own coverage.

Drunk in public trying to be on team "moral high ground" : * Fail
