Watching the live stream of the Oakland protests, just saw someone paint "FTP" on a building. Bet he doesn't mean File Transfer Protocol — Cotton Rohrscheib (@cottonr) July 14, 2013

I would classify this as a "symbolic" protest. The flag just got burned at the McDonald's on 14th St in Oakland http://t.co/FISxWFHi8k — m4rg1n4L (@marg1nal) July 14, 2013
