There are at least two thousand protesters out on the streets of Berkeley tonight, in the third night of demonstrations in Berkeley and almost continuous demonstrations somewhere in the East Bay since the Darren Wilson non-indictment came down.
Interstate 80 at University Avenue in Berkeley is perhaps one of the most heavily trafficked highways in the country. If there were any spot on any freeway in the Bay Area I would absolutely not suggest tring to "take" it would be there.
Nonetheless they did it, about 8:00 PM Monday evening, December 8th. And afterwards they blocked an Amtrak train running on the tracks that parallel I80 at this point.
Ain't no power like the power of the people 'cause the power of the people stop trains.
Oh, now they're back blocking I80 again.
