Sooooo, I work not too far from the State Capitol of California, in Sacramento.
I heard a commotion, and went outside to check it out. On the South steps of the Capitol, we have a contingent of White Power Nazis, being protected by the CHP, and the City of Sacramento Police. On the side-walk, an "un-permitted" group of folks from Occupy Oakland, and Occupy Sacramento holding up signs that say, "F*** Off Nazi Scum", and are chanting louder and louder. Cop horses are tweaking out. The Nazi's have a big banner that says, "White Genocide".
Add to this, there is also a group of Tea Partiers around the corner waiting to get in on the action. In my building, we are keeping our heads down.
I don't have my cellphone with me or I would upload photos.
The crazy is getting serious outside today. I wonder what these idiots are going to do when they try to leave. The cops can't protect all of them. I also see several black flags waving too (on the sidewalk).
Now, the white power group is playing the bagpipes.
It's hard to focus on work today.

The Occupiers have split up and have moved part of the group to the North side of the Capitol. The Nazi's are still out there with their signs. The chanting gets loud every few minutes or so. The CHP seem to have left, and just City cops are out there keeping the 'unpermitted' protesters on the sidewalk on the street. You can smell the anger in the air....

Both sides of protest have melted away. The protest (permitted) at the Capitol was scheduled to end at 3pm. Now I am hearing sirens in the near distance almost constantly. I can't leave here, so I have no clue what happened between the groups as they left.
