Here's some pictures from the Barak protests.

But more interesting are the comments farther down. The Indybay folks have decided that Mr. Sharkansky, who had his camera ripped from him and broken, was in fact responsible for the attacks himself. Apparently, he racistly approached the mass of Protestors, attacked the Asian/Palestinian girl who yelled at Barak, then threw his camera on the ground to frame Mr. Chaikhouni and get the cops to arrest him. They've also decided on a policy of harassment towards him by posting his phone number and address, and filing complaints against him with UCPD. As Mr. BaraksLies commented,

Now millionaire neonazi Mr Shark wants to lock up a Palestinian student at Berkeley for damaging a disposable camera?
Hopefully the charges are dropped but I guess the rightwing proIsrael crowd wont be happy until all people of color are behind bars.... I dont know why he is so angry when he lives in the whitest most conservative part of SF where he never has to face real problems...

Here's hoping Mr. Chaikhouni gets what's coming to him.
