At this moment, San Diego police are evicting OSD protesters from Civic Center Plaza. There is a call to resist, and the backup plan is a caravan to Balboa Park, about one mile away. Unfortunately, occupying Balboa Park will have much less of an impact.
A 'bagger went before City Council and complained; I've got the video below the squig.
BTW - someone did unfortunately die at the encampment; he fell from a neighboring parking structure to his death. It is not believed that he was part of the protest, and the occupation was in no way, shape or form responsible for the tragic accident.
Be sure to UNLIKE this video; let's make sure that the 99% let people like this know that they are NOT in the majority.
7:22 PM PT: Just spoke to a friend on her way downtown. The scuttlebutt is that here, like a few other occupations, the Ron Paul people took to bullying the crap out of everybody. The cops here really have been cool, and the GA has decided to move to Balboa Park and not resist. Those staying at the civic center are apparently the Ron Paul folks and some of the hard core anarchists.
They will be over the freeway, and visible to traffic. All is not lost.
