Three Occupy Oakland protesters charged with hate crimes
Michael Davis, 32, Nneka Crawford, 23, and Randolph Wilkins, 24, confronted the woman on the streets of Oakland in February after she told them not to riot in her neighborhood, the Oakland Police said in a written release.
"She was surrounded by three protestors and battered as they yelled vulgar epithets regarding their perception of her sexual orientation," Oakland Police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.
The female victim was not identified except as a 20-year resident of the neighborhood.
"Her wallet was taken during the crime," Watson said. "The victim broke away from the group and called police, who were able to arrest one suspect near the scene."
Watson said the other two suspects were arrested at a February 29 Occupy Oakland protest.
Each was charged by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office with felony counts of robbery and hate crimes, Watson said.

No the burden of proof lies on you to refute the article. No backpedaling at all just addressing the matter from a basic debate stance.reply

Then contact Reuters and argue with them or produce a viable article proving it wrong. Everything you're posting is opinion. The PD said these individuals were affilitated with the OWS movement. So unless you can provide something to refute their statements you have nothing.reply

+1I have taken screen shots of every post he has put up stating he rapes children. I sent those shots to Sodahead as well as to a very good friend of mine in the FBI. I also included the link to his profile page so I have a feeling he's not going to be playing this little game too much longer.reply

I don't have to prove anything as the Oakland PD said they were part of the movement. If you don't think they are prove the PD and Reuters wrong. Balls in your court.reply
