    Protesters block Silicon Valley shuttles, smash Google bus window


    Full story http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/20/5...gle-bus-window

    "One of the perks of working at a major Silicon Valley company is a shuttle ride to work. But as housing prices rise in the San Francisco Bay Area, angry activists are targeting those shuttles to protest the region's gentrification. In Oakland, protesters attacked a Google bus today, smashing a window and distributing fliers reading "Get the fuck out of Oakland" to Google employees on board.

    And in San Francisco, demonstrators blocked an Apple bus, holding signs and even carrying a wooden coffin bearing the message "Affordable housing."

    "We want the ruling class, which is becoming the tech class, to listen to our voices and listen to the voices of folks that are being displaced," said one SF protester.

      I don't understand what they are protesting? They Google and Apple to leave? And take their jobs with them? Trust me, the fuckers make the good money aren't riding a fucking shuttle bus to work.

      Just imagine if these companies pulled out of the area and what happen. Fucking idiots.
