The Lieutenant in charge of that operation made a public statement to the effect that camping would not be tolerated on county court house property and the property was to be considered a no trespassing area.
What WAS NOT clear was the fenced off area was NOT the ONLY area off limits but the unused steps where the #OccupySantaCruz General Assembly meets IS ALSO off limits.
Two people, when they were informed of that by a couple of sheriffs at 7pm that evening decided autonomously that one of the core ideals of this particular #Occupation is a 24/7 presence at the site so they U-Locked their necks to the handrail of the county court house steps.
Yours truly was up late with about 30 other supporters keeping them company.

I'm gonna take a nap now.

First off, don’t believe the PR bullshit. There was nothing peaceful or professional about the LAPD’s attack on Occupy LA–not unless you think that people peacefully protesting against the power of the financial oligarchy deserve to be treated the way I saw Russian cops treating the protesters in Moscow and St. Petersburg who were demonstrating against the oligarchy under Putin and Yeltsin, before we at The eXiled all got tossed out in 2008. Back then, everyone in the West protested and criticized the way the Russian cops brutally snuffed out dissent, myself included.
Now I’m in America, at a demonstration, watching exactly the same brutal crackdown... [In Full]
