Fatal Shooting Near #OccupyOakland Camp Site; UPDATE: Victim Was An Occupier
-
While this seems to be not directly related to the Occupation taking place in Oakland, it is an indication that these camps need to be cleared. From the LA Times:
A fatal shooting near the Occupy Oakland site Thursday night has sparked a new call from city leaders to clear out the protesters.
The shooting, which apparently stemmed from a fight between two groups of people, did not appear to be related to the protest or campers at the site, Oakland Police Sgt. Christopher Bolton told The Times. No arrests have been made in the shooting.
But the incident prompted several top city leaders to call for protesters to leave the camp.
“This camp is attracting an element that’s adding to the problem that already exists,” said City Council President Larry Reid told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Mayor Jean Quan agreed.
Do we really want these camps to make their way into our neighborhoods and attract these kind of people near our homes?
UPDATE:
Turns out the murder victim was staying at the Oakland Occupation.
