The Bay area has a long history of protest. At 1960s UC Berkeley, Vietnam war opponents started as idealistic, flowers in your hair protestors who morphed into building grabbers. Next door, the hard-scrabble neighborhoods of East Oakland are the perfect breeding ground for discontent. It's the right place for the Occupy movement to set up tents. Plenty of people with grievances and lots of rich people to snub. But, Occupy Oakland has a dark side.
