Early on, Aleksa became the face of the revolution as she meditated on steps that now serve as the site of the GA (nightly 7:30 pm).
WEST STEPS, City Hall - Occupy Los Angeles held its first post-eviction General Assembly. And it was a rousing success! The steps were overflowing with participants, even as hardcore occupiers sat wasting away in jail with illegally high bail amounts for a misdemeanor. (Such arrests merit no bail at all but simply release with a written summons to appear).
Kat and Elise say, "The Revolution will be Crowdsourced"The 292 arrested during the raid are currently being held and might not be arraigned until Friday. The bail is set at $5,000 per person. The police are desperate to not want anyone to get out before the GA tonight. Donations to get #Occupy LA out of jail: DONATE
Alt. media out, mainstream media in "pool"
Ruth Fowler
I was in the inner to-be-arrested circle in Solidarity Park until the very last minute. I tweeted continually from 9:00 pm until 5:30 am, yet I have seven hours of tweets missing from my twitter feed. I was in the park when the police came in from within City Hall. They were not violent. Neither were we. They called it an unlawful assembly.No bad treatment of protestors occurred while the mainstream media was watching. It was only at the end that it occurred, when the non-pool reporters were separated from the "pool media." The reporters not in the pool were shoved and hit by police.
At this point I left. But other non-pool media refused to leave. They wanted to stay reporting on the scene. Jared Iorio, Occupy LA photographer, stayed for 15 minutes after I left. He and was hit twice in the chest with a baton by a policeman until he left Solidarity Park....
The police ran after them and started beating protestors with batons repeatedly as they were running away trying to escape. I saw about ten police hit protestors. More
