These are some things I witnessed happening yesterday about property destruction, I wanted to make sure it was known because it seemed like this kind of stuff was widespread throughout the city.
1) Military recruiting center was destroyed. Windows smashed, people broke open the front door, tons of files and whatever else could be found was thrown into the street. Tons of graffiti. There were no cops around whatsoever.
2) The Citicorp building on Market St. had a huge window smashed out. Then someone threw a smokebomb into the building.
3) Shortly after this, a "peace nazi" protester ran up to someone in a mask and accused them of doing this (they didn't, I saw the whole thing). The peace nazi tried to detain this kid. Then, 3 of his friends came up and shoved the guy to the ground so their friend could get away. Peace nazis have to go!
4) Some windows around Powell & Market were smashed out of the Bank of Amerikkka building.
5) A group of protesters shoved a dumpster on wheels through a line of riot cops.
6) A group of cops were surrounded by protesters and taunted repeatedly. The cops were told they were going to be detained and sent to jail. Then one of them struck a protester with a nightstick. The protesters responded by punching and kicking the cops. I guess the violence went the other way in this case.
There were more incidents but I am in a hurry! VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
