North Berkeley BART Station Smashed
by anarchists
Friday Jan 9th, 2009 2:54 PM
In memory of Oscar Grant and all who are murdered at the cold hands of the police.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, all the windows of the North Berkeley BART station were smashed in and the name of Oscar Grant was scrawled across the walls. This action was taken out in response to the murder of Oscar Grant by BART police and in solidarity with the riots that have been taking place in Oakland. Our hope is that this action will inspire others to rise up against this atrocious police state in which we live.
This action was very easy to carry out and took no more than a few minutes to get done. We approached the BART station fully masked and carried stones, bricks, and spray paint in our gloved hands. We painted first as to not make much noise, and did so in block letters to not reveal any personal handwriting. We spent no more than 20 seconds smashing in the glass windows and then vanished into the night.
In action you see not only our obvious rage, but our chance to begin life and liberation. This is not just revenge for the death of Oscar Grant, but for all of us who suffer at the brutal hands of the cops everyday. This is revenge for every morning we are forced to wake up to this oppressive system.
Solidarity means attack. Don't get caught.
From the East Bay to Greece - WE ARE EVERYWHERE!
God bless these guys. But the trustifarians who wrote this misguidedly call themselves anarchists, well, aren't. What they are is excited. Excited that a mystical young black man was shot and killed so they can rage against the proverbial machine. This will sure show daddy, won't it?
Anyway, snottiness aside, enough with the vandalism. Please.
