Yesterday, a rumor going around on Twitter maintained that Whole Foods had threatened to fire employees who took part in the protest, which Whole Foods steadfastly denied.
In the afternoon, a Whole Foods window was spray-painted and smashed. Our reporter Andrew Stelzer captured this video of black-clad protesters in the act of grafitting the window at 27th Street and Harrison Street in Oakland. Another protester then tackles someone who broke the store’s window.
Stelzer talked to a woman who defended the smashing of the window at Whole Foods. She did not witness the scene, but commented on it afterward.
