Obviously the explanation of just what going into that place had to do with the day's announced goal of entering an abandoned building and establishing a claim that such a move was a humanitarian effort to provide shelter for the homeless will have to be elaborated by the nebulous Occupy Movement protesters, who take pride in featuring no management hierarchy that can provide authoritative replies to any reporter's inquiries.

 

Initially, the unexplained visit to the YMCA, which KCBS reported added another one hundred arrests to the scoreboard, might seem inappropriate as part of the argument that action has to be taken to prove that empty office building might be a viable alternative to the Occupy Campsites which drew extensive criticism attributed to local business men.  

 

By 6 a.m. Sunday morning, KCBS was reporting that the total number of arrests had risen to the 300 level.  

 

The Sunday 7 a.m. PST CBS radio network newscast made a brief mention of the Move In Day arrests in Oakland.

 

Some protesters entered the Oakland City Hall on Saturday evening.   Initially KCBS was relaying the information that photographers at the City Hall had noticed that the protesters did not have to force entry to the facility.   By Sunday morning, reports stated that Occupy protesters had broken into the City Hall and then trashed the place.

 

On a quiet Sunday morning in Berkeley, the columnist/photographer wrote up his subjective report on the newsworthy Saturday protest and then planned to travel to a place where he could post it.

 

What makes it worthwhile for a fellow to spend all that time and effort to produce something which conservatives will ridicule as glorifying thugs and liberals, other than the ones who stumble across it where it is posted, will ignore? . . .

 

Can we get back to your later with the answer to that question?

 

NOTE:   This report explains why it was limited only to the early hours of the Move In Day events in Oakland.   Others have posted reports with material from later in the day elsewhere on this site.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
