caramida: (oakland)
While walking home from Endgame, my FLGS, I encountered the protesters. I took some pictures, but skedaddled after the police started moving to surround the group. Then I went home to [livejournal.com profile] ca_snowflake. We got a call a short while later from a friend who'd gotten her dates mixed up, and was in Oakland with nothing to do. We invited her over here. We all hung out a bit, and played Pandemic, of course, before she went home. I got word that she was home safe about the same time as I read about the rioting. As we went to bed, we still heard helicopters overhead.

Getting up this morning, I found a set of photos from Thomas Hawke. His shots are much better than mine. I don't think I need to post any of my own.

This morning it seems that the helicopters are back, and the Tribune reports that police expect more of last night's antics to continue. Be safe, everyone.
