Despite being asked by local businesses the “Occupy” Movement will still block local ports and terminals up and down the west coast. They say their goal is to stop corporate greed, economic inequality etc. etc. How long before these protestors/unions/longshoremen/police tuen to violence? Stay tuned. > **['Occupy' Protesters Say They Will Continue Port Blockades, Protests](http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/12/12/occupy-protesters-seek-to-shut-down-west-coast-ports.html)** > > Wall Street protesters' attempts to block gates at some of the West Coast's busiest ports have led to the partial shutdown of docks in California, Oregon and Washington state. ---

**Oakland Mayor Jean Quan pleaded with the occupiers to go home and allow the longshoremen and truckers get on with their livelihoods.** **“People have to think about the consequences,” she said. “People have to think about who they are hurting. They are saying, `We want to get the attention of the ruling class.’ Well, I think the ruling class is probably laughing, and people in this city will be crying this Christmas. It’s really got to stop.”** I like that Mayor, on a serious note though how retarded are these people? Block a port? Do they have any idea how many blue collar workers they are hurting? ---

I like that Mayor too and he’s got a point. The “Occupy” movement doesn’t care who they hurt in order to reach their unreachable goal. Their actions will only cause further alienation from the groups they think they’re trying to save. ---

Their actions will only cause further alienation from the groups they think they’re trying to save. Really good point here HudsonFalcon. I can understand if they tried to use a blockade or created a chain of people not allowing people who work for big investment bankers like Goldman & Sachs but when it’s hurting blue collar workers I think they’re doing more harm then good. ---
