what's going on at the farm

I spoke to a friend of mine by phone who is at the protests outside the South Central Farm about an hour ago. This will be kinda vague, so...

1) The sheriffs had already broken open the lockboxes that people were using to lock themselves down to prevent their removal from the farm.

2) About 10 people had been dragged out, and two people were sent away in ambulances. We don't know what happened to them or how they are doing.

3) Bulldozers were lined up outside the fences, ready to come in.

The farmers were still asking people to come down to the farm (41st and Long Beach Ave), or MLK and Alameda, or to go protest down at city hall. Also, to call the mayor, Jan Perry, and the sheriff's office to complain.
