#OccupyOakland Sent Eviction Notice by City Hall; Protesters Defiant
by Alexander Marlow
Hours after Big Journalism reported on a death threat made against an ABC reporter covering the Occupy Oakland protest and following a weekâs worth of videos at Breitbart.TV chronicling the demonstrationâs descent into lawless disorder, City Hall has said that the tent city will not continue. Last night an eviction notice was issued that cited the âincreasing frequency of violence, assaults, threats and intimidation.â [VIEW THE EVICTION NOTICE BELOW.] (attached)
From the San Jose Mercury News:
A pro-Occupy blogger for the San Francisco Chronicle attributes the eviction notice to the footage of Occupy Oakland posted at the Breitbart sites:
What began nationwide as a run-of-the-mill gathering of various socialists and Communists plunged quickly into bedlam: squalor, violence, public urination, fire hazards, and public sex at Occupy Oakland. The Occupy protesters eventually banned media from the tent city and threatened the life of KGO-TVâs Amy Hollyfield, who was allegedly accosted by a man who said, âWe shoot white bitches like you around here.â
Naturally, Occupy Oakland says itâs not going anywhere but City spokeswoman Karen Boyd says the complaints have been mounting and so a confrontation seems like a very real possibility.
Moreover, a far-left government like that of the City of Oakland acknowledging that the Occupy protest poses a risk to the safety and well-being of its citizenry could encourage and embolden other cities to further investigate the various protests.
Below youâll find a link round-up of the reports issued on Breitbart.TV. This marks a clear victory for citizen journalists and new media, without which the true nature of Occupy Oakland would never have come to light.

From the San Jose Mercury News:
A letter posted on the cityâs web site at 8 p.m. expresses concerns about a wide range of public health and security issues surrounding the 10-day old camp in Frank Ogawa Plaza. No moves have been made by police or other officials to dismantle the camp since the notice went up.

Citing a rat infestation, numerous fire hazards, threats of intimidation and open displays of violence, Thursdayâs letter from city officials appears to be a first step toward moving the residents out of the camp.
âWe believe that after 10 days, the City can no longer uphold public health and safety. In recent days, camp conditions and occupantsâ behavior have significantly deteriorated, and it is no longer manageable to maintain a public health and safety plan,â reads the notice posted on the cityâs web site.
A pro-Occupy blogger for the San Francisco Chronicle attributes the eviction notice to the footage of Occupy Oakland posted at the Breitbart sites:
The whole move toward eviction seems to have been started by the selfishness of certain specific San Francisco Bay Area Media types, and perhaps with a healthy assist from Breitbart TV.
