There is a strike planned for tomorrow at UC Berkeley. I think at some point, they’ll be a renewed attempt to set up an encampment. This attempted encampment was the official reason for the clashes last week. The university, as in other places across the country, stated that such encampments were a threat to public safety and moved in to tear them down. Of course, there’s nothing that says “public safety” better than when police fully garbed in riot gear move in cracking ribs and skulls.  It’s the same logic behind burning a village to “save it” from Communism during the Vietnam War. Needless to say, “public safety” is just a soundbite, an excuse by which the authorities are trying to rollback the protest tide spreading across the country. Stay tuned for what is sure to be a dramatic day tomorrow.

Dude! Seriously man?!! You are excited over this?! You know, not that many people care about what is happening in Oakland nor Berkeley. You are too old and bit too educated to fall for this kinds of movements. Seriously man, I know you are into radical notions and B.S. like that but you perfectly know that this will eventually die down due to lack of leadership and lack of goal and of course pure stupidity and moronic ideas that are simply product of being on weed.
I am too old and too educated? I suppose you’re just the right amount of intelligent to not “fall for the trap.” hahaha. Chi migi baba? “Pure stupidity and moronic ideas”? I can see that you bring your wise and all-knowing frame of reference which you endlessly employ to offer us your brilliant “analysis” of the Middle East to use in evaluating the occupy movement at Berkeley. haha, you crack me up. I mean, you’ve always been at your strongest when you’ve actually addressed the issues at hand (SARCASM).
That’s it, sweet dreams.
ps Stop telling people you got your BA from Berkeley. Your admission was a mistake, fyi. When trying to impress people, stick to your passing of the bar on the 3rd attempt! hahaha
oh yeah,I enjoy your stupid response. You don’t even have the facts rights about me and my bar passing but it’s ok, you are too stupid and hateful to be even corrected. It may have taken me three times to pass and I may have gone to a crappy law school, but I did it! However, yes I did pass the bar and yes I am doing amazing at my job. Unlike you who really haven’t had a real job yet. Teaching is not a job. Working odd jobs since your 14 is not working. Only what I do is work! Just like your buddies in Occupy movements. Eitherway, until the day that you could reach to my level in terms of income and advancement, you really should not try to make fun of my education. You may personally own a lot of property, but I am estill better than you. We were both in LSAT class together, you abandoned it, I achieved it. You may have gotten a better score than me, gone to a better law school, and may even finish your law degree after you get your PhD, I am contributing factor to the society, you are scum of the society who knows nothing but be a whinny little girl criticizing everything. I, on the other hand, criticize nothing. I support everything. Get a job, teaching is not a job, pay your income and state tax and then come here and try to be and advocate for justice which you clearly are not.
Oh yeah, your middle eastern views are not driven by anything except hate. Mine, on the other hand, are driven out of love. I love Israel, no matter what it does, who it occupies, and who it kills. So keep that for yourself 😉
BTW: did i mention that you still haven’t held a job? Teaching is not a job!
Arash, you seem a little confused. You make little sense. Are you okay? 😆
