Not content with persecuting Occupy Oaklanders on trumped up charges, the Alameda County District Attorney, Nancy O'Malley, is now turning her wrath on UC Berkeley community members. You all remember the beatings UC Berkeley police administered on November 9th, 2011, after students committed the unspeakably horrible act of putting up tents. Now, according to the Daily Californian



The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office has issued criminal charges to four Nov. 9 protesters, documents show. UC Berkeley students Ricardo Gomez, Zakary Habash and Ramon Quintero and associate English professor Celeste Langan face several charges, including resisting arrest and remaining at the scene of a riot, according to county criminal dockets.





Check the video out and decide for yourself who the violent provocateurs are.

One of the woman who is yanked by her hair and thrown to the ground near the start of the video -- I'm not sure which one -- is professor Langan, according to this very recent tweet by Aaron Bady, a UC graduate student.

The woman being thrown to the ground in this video, by her hair, is being charged with resisting arrest, huh?:

In addition to the two charges the protesters have in common, they individually face other charges -- including a charge against Habash for battery of a peace officer... BAMN Attorney Ronald Cruz said that Yvette Felarca, a national organizer for BAMN, was also charged for "obstructing an officer and malicious blocking of a sidewalk or public thoroughfare."

A different professor told the cops instead of beating students, they should beat a professor. Cop replied, "you want some?" and beat him. Aaron Bady @zunguzungu

MOTHERFUCKERS FUCKING FUCK FUCK.

And that's not all:Ah yes, maliciously blocking a sidewalk. As Aaron Bady goes on to tweetYou'd think the Alameda District Attorney's Office would have better things to do than to charge people with maliciously blocking sidewalks. You might think they would be devoting their resources to investigating the hundred-plus murders that take place in Oakland every year, or, dare we dream, the plethora of crimes that the Oakland Police commit against the citizens they are sworn to protect and serve

But you would think wrong.

Given that these ridiculous charges are being levied against Cal Occupiers, not Occupy Oaklanders, it is now clear that the District Attorney either has a personal vendetta against all things Occupy, or is receiving orders from some very powerful people to do everything in her power to crush the Occupy movement in all of Alameda County, not just Oakland.

As another tweeter put it



reclaim UC @reclaimuc

it's hard to imagine the DA doing anything stupider than charging an english prof who got the shit beaten out of her with resisting arrest.

The waste of County resources in this absurd pursuit of peaceful protesters is disgusting. What is even more appalling is that an elected official such as O'Malley in a position of such responsibility would be acting like a vampire in desperate need of more and more Occupier blood.

Someone needs to figure out how to get near her with a cross and some garlic.
