(SF Gate) A group of protesters have succeeded in stopping a line of big-rigs from entering the Port of Oakland this morning during their march to shutdown the busy cargo terminal.
Organizers have pledged to march to the port and shutdown the terminal, one of the busiest on the West Coast. Some unions, including the one representing Oakland teachers, are supporting the day-long strike while others, like the longshoremen’s union, say shutting down the port will harm hard-working stevedores and truck drivers.
This is actually breaking news, as the story was published at 7:27am PST.
Oakland police Sgt. Arturo Bautista was trying to negotiate with protesters to move back.
How about, instead, pushing the unhinged, deranged, and law violators off the streets? This is not free speech, this is an unlawful blockade, harming the people who are just trying to do their jobs.
“It’s necessary. It is a way to strike back, to show our numbers and show what the people can do,” said William Lovell, 44, with the Occupy SF camp. “We are politely breaking the rules as gently as we can.”
No matter how gently they are breaking the rules, they are breaking the law. It’s high time for the elected officials and law enforcement to stop coddling these idiots, who just want people to be forced to give them stuff and money they didn’t earn, and start treating them as the criminals they are.
