OAKLAND, Calif. — A protest that shut down the Port of Oakland to show the broadening reach of the Occupy Wall Street movement ended in violence when police in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters overnight who broke into a vacant building, shattered downtown windows, sprayed graffiti and set blazes along the way.

“We go from having a peaceful movement to now just chaos,” protester Monique Agnew, 40, said early Thursday.

PendarkI am first, an individual. I am a husband, father, brother, and son. I am 40. I am Libertarian of politics. I am a stage performer of many talents.
I believe in freedom for all people, at all times, under all circumstances. I believe in small business, small government, and individual liberty over collectivism. I am not shy about my opinions. If politics offends you then skip it and read the fun stuff.
With a mind like mine, there will be plenty of fun and strangeness to read. Those of you easily offended by psychological openness and blunt honesty of opinion, you might just want to skip my articles altogether.
But, if you can handle a little dose of "John Wayne" next to your "Vincent Price" or your "Houdini",then we should get along fine. Good luck and God bless!
