Today from UC Berkeley...
An interesting day as this (Occupy) movement converged on the campus. Berkeley is known for protest so not surprising this should make it here finally. As I left campus today, news helicopters hovered overhead and a small group of determined people stayed on the plaza thinking to set up a tent camp. Official UC campus policy is that such encampments are not allowed on the grounds and I fully expect that to have been cleared up by morning. The sheriff and city police were there with a large county bus to take resistors away.
I am simply reporting what happened today where I work. I am not sure how I feel about this movement as they did a lot of damage to businesses and retail stores in downtown Oakland here. I think people are angry...that much is clear.
