SOUTH CENTRAL FARMERS EVICTED
And I'm completely and totally disgusted this morning and not sure WHAT to say/write.
The news footage I saw on ABC LA this afternoon was shocking. Footage of police beating protestors. I wonder how long that will continue to air before it gets pulled. Footage of LAPD actually using their battons and beating the hell out of people-protestors-while protestors were on the ground and then beating people in their backs when they had their backs turned!!!
ALAMEDA AND 41ST...
I'm so angry and so disgusted. The "needs" or is it the GREED of ONE individual vs. the real "needs" (FOOD) of many (350 PLUS Families!!!). Well now we know what the priorities of the City of LA really are and it does NOT include protecting it's own people, it's own citizens.
No other news from me. To put it honestly, I'm disgusted, angry, fed up and pissed off.
Oh yeah, and thanks to KPFK for "breaking programming" this morning to report on the farm-NOT. ARGH! Powered by the People my ass!
As of now, John Quigley, Daryl Hannah and two others are still in the tree on the farm. It's 11:35 a.m.
*******UPDATE******** It is 1:12. KPFK has interrupted their fund drive (HUGE KUDOS NOW! THANK YOU!!) to bring us the news of the South Central Farm. PLEASE phone Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office at 213/978-0600 (Phone) 213/978-0750 (Fax)
or email: mayor@lacity.org
Several people have been beaten by the police, including several women being hit in the chest. The farm is being destroyed as we speak. Police are in the farm and putting everything in trash bags. At last word, there are also three children in the farm as young as one year old. This farm is the major source of nourishment for over THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FAMILIES. What affects them, affects us all.
Mayor Villaraigosa is supposed to speak at a press conference any minute now.
