Occupy protesters disavow Oakland violence - Nation - The Boston Globe: "The protest outside the Port of Oakland, which reopened Thursday, represented an escalation in tactics as a movement that had largely been about marches, rallies and tent camps targeted a major symbol of the nation’s commerce.
The violence that followed, however, raised questions about the direction of the movement and whether the clashes, so far mostly isolated in a city with a history of tensions between residents and police, will galvanize protesters or hurt their cause.
Nicholson blamed the violence on a small group of young people just there for violence — ‘‘Some kids looking to blow off some steam.’’"
