BART protestors suspected in vandalism of Glenn Park station.
A few hours after protests ended at one San Francisco BART station on Thursday, vandals destroyed machines and sprayed graffiti at another BART station across the city, an agency spokeswoman said.

At about 9:45 p.m., about a dozen individuals stormed through the free area of the Glen Park station and damaged BART's fare collection equipment, spokeswoman Luna Salaver said today.

The vandals damaged all eight of the station's Clipper card readers as well as several ticketing machines, Salaver said, prompting BART staff to work through the night to ensure that customers would have access to the equipment for today's morning commute.

2. Yeah, and no proof that the vandals at Glen Park were related to the main protest
though it makes for a neat way to denigrate the protesters.

3. I am sure they were as sincere as the protesters in Tottenham
who felt it was necessary to burn down a neighborhood to avenge the death of person whose name they did not know. There is always a fringe element that attaches itself to any such movement. Regardless of why they are there, their actions have to be condemned.
