http://www.ktvu.com/news/29620368/detail.htmlFilmmaker 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.

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