Filmmaker Michael Moore addresses Oakland protesters

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore told about 500 "Occupy Oakland" protesters Friday that they are inspiring "Occupy Wall Street" activists across the country.

Speaking at Frank Ogawa Plaza in front of City Hall, where tents had again sprung up, Moore said people throughout the U.S. were "disgusted" and "horrified" when police fired tear gas and bean bags and took other aggressive actions against protesters Tuesday night.

Wearing blue shorts, a blue hooded sweatshirt and a gray hat, Moore told the crowd, "Millions have seen this and are inspired by you because you came back the next night."

(snip)
Moore rhetorically asked the crowd, "There's no turning back, is there?" and the crowd answered with a loud "No!"

VIDEO: 'A Democratic Economic System'
"We're going to create that system – this movement. Whatever we come up with,
it has to have at its core that the American people are going to be the ones
controlling this economy." – Michael Moore on Anderson Cooper 360,
live from #OccupyOakland, October 28th, 2011

Moore received a huge ovation from hundreds of demonstrators who have re-established their camp at Frank Ogawa Plaza.

"It happened organically, from the grassroots, the true grassroots, and in my lifetime I have never seen a movement like this take hold this fast with this many people all across the country," Moore said.
