cunt sauce Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/08/25/18742049.php RIP Reefa, report back from the graffiti march. by some Oakland rebels Sunday Aug 25th, 2013 1:40 AM Despite massive displays of force by OPD, they failed to contain the graffiti protest planned for the evening. Anyone in downtown Oakland Saturday afternoon knew something was supposed to be happening, with police parked on what seemed like every corner. Oscar Grant Plaza was covered in cops hours before any protest was planned to take place. Earlier in the evening there was a solidarity march for the California prison hunger strike, which brought around 100 people out in support. Throughout the day, the police had been making large displays of force to intimidate the protesters into leaving before night fell. It quickly became clear they were not going to let the graffiti march happen. Because of this, plans were made to meet at a separate location nearby later in the evening, hoping to avoid a police presence. We were initially successful, but before we could start the police discovered our new location and vans began circling the area. At this point, many small groups began to break off, most with their own personal police escort, though some were able to shake their tail. These autonomous groups began to then paint graffiti throughout the city, and the police were could not contain it. Despite the surely large sum of money spent on policing today's protests, they have no arrests to show for it, and were hardly successful in shutting down our protest. Sure, there was no spectacle of a downtown coated with paint (for another day) but we are as angry as ever over Reefa's death. We will continue our calls for vengeance- and call for worldwide solidarity over this injustice. SOLIDARITY WITH ALL ILLEGAL ARTISTS, ALL OF THOSE BRUTALIZED BY POLICE, AND ALL INSIDE PRISON WALLS NEVER LET THEM SLEEP -some Oakland rebels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunt sauce Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I find protests and Oakland are usually filled with destructive nonsense. Are you saying this is a bad thing? How tight would it be to have mobs of folks smashing the city in broad daylight, with the cops unable to stop shit? Being against destructive nonsense is hella toy.

Fist 666 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 look how much we care about our community! *smashes window of building leased to local company* see how much of a positive difference we are making? *breaks windows out of working class guy's car* see us be the change we want to see in the world! *sets local park on fire* Fucking retards. Violent actions, short of murder/assassination of politicians will not change a damn thing, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunt sauce Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 You have no clue on how gentrification works. Fuck a local business. In fact fuck all business. "Violent actions, short of murder/assassination of politicians will not change a damn thing, ever." Tell that to the police officer who was finally charged with the death of Oscar Grant, only after people (only a minority which were anarchists) rioted for days. Do you have any clue on how we got the 8 hour work day? Violent Strikes. The bodies piled up. I can't believe in light of the Arab Spring, Turkey, the occupation of LaZAD in France (http://www.submedia.tv/stimulator/2012/12/27/la-zad-an-autonomous-resistance-zone-in-fortress-europe/) anyone would really argue for a pacifist motor of social change. Also, if you are so concerned for private property maybe you should find a new hobby, graff forum moderator. You are a fucking joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunt sauce Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 It would actually be counter productive to whatever their agenda is. Destruction for the sake of destruction does not accomplish anything. Their agenda was pretty much, "lets have a memorial for Reefa by taking the streets together so we are safer from Pigs while bombing Oakland." It shares the knowledge with people that it IS possible to "revolt" and it is possible to be strong together. Plus, seeing as they want to destroy the capitalistic system so they can make a life of their own instead of being treated as a labor commodity I have no clue how you think this action interferes or contradicts that. Fuck private property. Fuck Wage Labor. Fuck "Graffiti writers" who are apologists for the forces of gentrification that jack our rent up.

I don't find them to be a part of MY community because my interests (cheap rent, less cops, less rich snooty progressives, etc) are directly opposed to theirs (profit).

I want to squat. I want to guerrila garden. I want to work as little as possible. I want my friends and I to have cheap rent (or none at all). Why would I identify businesses (that jack rent up, bring more cops into the hood, and make the city look like shit) as part of my community. You are pretty dense!

When did anyone mention burning available housing? Why do you think fucking shit up and making shit uncomfortable for anyone who doesn't share my condition (being poor) would draw conservatives of all people? That's pretty illogical, homes.

CILONE/SK Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 What I find funny is that there is never a rich community having protests and getting looted or destroyed. It is always the poor destroying their own communities. What better way to show the world that they are sick of the rich man keeping them down, then to fuck up the very few small businesses that they have. That will show them.

cunt sauce Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 You have some built up bitterness. Good luck in trying to keep your poor mans utopia. Having no money isn't all that bad if you have shelter and food. Those things that you value don't really bring the prosperity to the "alternative economy" that me and my comrades enjoy. In fact, they destroy it. As far as bitterness is concerned.. well. Duh, I'm bitter. Have you seen the world around you? Racist violence everywhere, killer cops, pipeline spills, nuclear radiation destroying the ocean, 10K kids die every day from preventable illnesses and hunger... We are living within a mass extinction. The apocalypse isn't coming, we are situated within it. If you think there's something to be happy about in the way our society runs you are being extremely unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shout of love and solidarity to those that were close to Israel "Reefa" Hernandez. You seem to be strawmanning your preconceived notions of what all anarchists believe, as if there's a universal anarchist position. You are fucking idiotic.
