Dateline Santa Cruz California: Alleged 'Founder' Of Reactionary Anti-Homeless Group Claims Fundraising Lead In City Council Elections
Just taking liberties with AP copy as local headlines read Pamela Comstock for Santa Cruz City Council has raised the most money ($32,000) in the local council race. Pamela Comstock has claimed to be the "Founder" of the reactionary and Fascist homeless harassment group called "Take Back Santa Cruz" although their history shows a seamier origin with a gent who had been convicted of bank fraud.:"Bakunin had little time for Marx’s disdain for the peasantry and the lumpenproletariat of the urban slums. Marx, for all his insight into the self-destructive machine of unfettered capitalism, viewed the poor as counterrevolutionaries, those least capable of revolutionary action.
Bakunin, however, saw in the “uncivilized, disinherited, and illiterate” a pool of revolutionists who would join the working class and turn on the elites who profited from their misery and enslavement.
Bakunin proved to be the more prophetic. (source)
It's all good... I'm all up to:

ACLU Presentation Sept 26 2012 - Human Rights & The Homeless In Santa Cruz California
I am here speaking to you this evening because I believe the actions taken by local elected officials after an attempt to perception manage the citizens of the city and county using a deranged murderer as an 'example' of their displaced people intrinsically violates US citizens' civil rights and indeed constitutes, as a whole, as a 'campaign', of Human Rights Violations including malicious and illegitimate law enforcement, endangering the homeless further by provoking potentially violent reactionary elements of the community, and leaving the homeless without the belief they can create secure shelter for themselves... Soon to be a necessity due to the county's absolute inability to house even ten percent of their homeless at the Emergency Shelter at DeLaveaga Park on any given night of the upcoming winter.
I want to know what the ACLU intends to do about this.
What I would like to see as an end result of the ACLU's court action is a state or federal investigation into Santa Cruz law enforcement practices as they affect their homeless citizens and a "Jones"-like decision including strict oversight of the city and county's policies towards that segment of it's citizenry until it has been discerned that justice, as practiced in regard to the homeless of the area is in line with law enforcement policies as practiced in regard to their housed population.

(Click any of the pictures for larger images)
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?Get up, get up, get out of the door. Your playin' cold music on the barroom floor. Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town. Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat. It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat. But you're here alone, there's no one to compete. If Mercy's a bus'ness, I wish it for you. More than just ashes when your dreams come true.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for? Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door. The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor. You gave all you had. Why you wanna give more? The more that you give, the more it will take. To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
Fire! Fire on the mountain!Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!

Local News For 95060 - Santa Cruz County California (Specifically Watsonville) Is #1 For Highest Unemployment In Northern California
Santa Cruz county is numero uno now all you Fresno losers...
Don't forget it!
Watsonville WAS the home to Seagate Technology(and Connor Disc Drives) in the 90s, who eventually moved their operations overseas, leaving a few janitors and security guards working their empty Scotts Valley world HQ, and Watsonville's machine shops which were re-instituted as Watsonville's new (earthquake resistant) hospital, but what really finished it was NAFTA, which allowed all the packing and canning companies like Green Giant a chance to increase their corporate profits by moving South to Mexico:
(Note from the USDA: This chart is for processed foods. U.S. authorities do not report similar statistics for production agriculture, mainly to protect the confidentiality of individual companies, but the stock of U.S. direct investment in Mexican crop and livestock production may run in the hundreds of millions of dollars).
