Oakland Liberation Guerrilla Drive-In Theater, 5/22/09: photos

The Oakland Liberation Drive-In followed up their first guerrilla screening on March 20th with an even bigger show on May 22nd. After the cops showed up at the scheduled location on Broadway, the outdoor venue was moved to Harrison Street, where 50 or more folks watched video from numerous direct action resistance movements around the globe, from Mexico to Greece to Oakland and San Francisco. A piñata of an OPD cruiser put a smile on everyone's face as it was smashed, stomped, and burned. Three actual OPD rollers showed up, stepped out of their cars to watch the scene from across the street, and then were diverted when an unrelated hit and run vehicular accident happened about a half block up the street.
