Oakland, California Developer Uses A 12g To "Discourage" Occupy Vandals

[twyacht]

Without firing a shot,...as the (just like the Tea-Party) vandals were smashing windows and spray painting buildings, Phil Tagami with a pump action 12guage, said "That's Enough". Racking it was enough to send the thugs, scurrying like the rats they are.

Meet the Oakland Developer Who Used a Shotgun to ‘Discourage’ Occupy Rioters
    * Posted on November 4, 2011 at 2:10pm by Becket Adams Becket Adams

Although some businesses have been targeted and vandalized by Occupy Oakland protesters, there is at least one businessman who refuses to be intimidated.

Phil Tagami is a well-known Oakland developer. Late Wednesday night, instead of going over paperwork or brokering deals, he was forced to defend a downtown building where he personally oversaw $50 million worth of renovations.

He also has an office there.

“We had people who attempted to break into our building,” the landmark Rotunda Building on Frank Ogawa Plaza outside City Hall, Tagami said. According to comments he made to the San Francisco Chronicle, Tagami grabbed a shotgun that he usually keeps at home, went down to the ground floor and “discouraged them.”

Although they didn’t get inside the building, vandals did scrawl graffiti on the outside walls during the post-midnight riot that broke out after Occupy Oakland’s daylong general strike, writes the Chronicle.
and they ran
“I was standing there and they saw me there, and I lifted it – I didn’t point it – I just held it in my hands,” Tagami said. “And I just racked it, and they ran .”

The Rotunda Building wasn’t the only business targeted by the protesters.

“Graffiti was spray-painted on many buildings along Broadway from 14th to 16th streets. Masked vandals shattered windows, started fires and threw objects at police, including lit flares and powerful M-1000 firecrackers,” reports the Chronicle.

The city estimates that it will cost up to $25,000 to replace broken windows at city buildings.

Of course, Mayor Jean Quan called the rioters “a small and isolated group.”

“It shouldn’t mar the overall impact of the demonstration and the fact that people in the 99 percent movement demonstrated peacefully and, for the most part, were productive and very peaceful,” Quan said.

Tagami wholeheartedly disagreed, saying that Occupy Oakland protest is “basically concealment and cover for anarchists who are doing this to our city.”

“We’re very concerned that a group of people can be allowed to do this type of destruction to our town and to our image without any repercussions,” Tagami said. “They need to be held accountable.” He rejected assertions that the anarchists were a small minority, saying, “No, you can’t have it both ways.”

Tagami added, “I support a peaceful protest. But it was a siege situation last night, and quite frankly, I’m glad we were here. But I never want to have to do that again.”

On a side note, guess what happened to at least one business, Men’s Wearhouse, that pledged its support for the “99%?”

It was destroyed....

*****

It's just a matter of time folks....There is a bigger agenda...OBTW, Oakland is Van Jones headquarters...

Three people were arrested Thursday night after allegedly dealing drugs to undercover police at the Occupy Boston camp.

Atu Austin, 31, of Boston, Lamont Daughtery, 21, of Hyde Park, and Thomas E. McLaughlin, 29, of Hyde Park, were arrested Thursday evening and charged with distribution of a Class B substance, Boston police said in a statement.

McLaughlin was also charged with a second or subsequent distribution of a Class B substance.

After receiving information that there were individuals in the Occupy Boston camp involved with drug dealing, undercover officers were deployed to locate the individuals, the statement said.

The officers engaged McLaughlin and Daughtery, beginning a discussion about crack cocaine, police said. McLaughlin and Daughtery allegedly told officers no one had any drugs left in the tent area, and that they would walk to get them some. Daughtery also told officers if they had come earlier or if they knew they were coming, they would have brought more with them, police said.

The officers followed the suspects to retrieve the drugs, and on the way, the two men allegedly requested money from the officers and asked if they would be “hooked up” for bringing the officers to get the drugs. The officers agreed to do so and continued on with the suspects, the statement said.

At one point, Daughtery stayed behind with officers while McLaughlin went to meet with Austin in an alleyway, police said. After an exchange between the two, McLaughlin met up with officers and Daughtery, according to police. McLaughlin allegedly told officers that they should complete the transaction somewhere else because the area they were in was “hot.”

Officers told the suspects they did not want to walk back to South Station, and the transaction was completed, police said. The suspects and officers then separated, and the three suspects were placed under arrest by officers on surveillance a short time later, according to police.

All three men were arraigned this morning in Boston Municipal Court, and pleaded not guilty, said Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. Austin was held on $1,000 cash bail, and his co-defendants were held on $500 cash bail each. They are expected to return to court on Dec. 16.

You will notice they are not trying it in Sheriff Joe's town.  
Even they weren't dumb enough to test them odds.    
Take a look at it, they are only protesting in traditional liberal strongholds, Boston, NY, Oakland, Seattle, all Dem strongholds.
