caller reports cops in riot gear pushing 200 protestors west from long beach blvd.
Daryl Hannah and John Quigley are among the estimated 45 arrests so far. Sherrifs will allow the farmers to return within 15 days to claim property they left on the farm. Tezozomoc from the SCF reports that Horowitz will immediately proceed with bulldozing the farm though this is unconfirmed.
Also, Police in riot gear are pushing approximately 200 protestors west, away from Long Beach blvd.
An early morning raid began this 5-hour long eviction that is still in process. Trees are being cut down, bulldozers are leveling the families’ food, hundreds of protesters are on site rallying with tears in their eyes as the nation’s largest urban farm is destroyed before them. The L.A.P.D. is on tactical alert as fire ladders and cherry pickers are being brought in to remove the tree-sitters. The 350 families created this oasis 14 years ago in the wake of the 1992 uprising when this land was offered to the community by the then Mayor as a form of mitigation.
Call the Mayor, Jan Perry, Horowitz, and Sherrif's: Jan perry 323-846-2651 or 213-473-7009; Mayor Villaraigosa 213-978-0600, Ralph Horowitz office 310 440-7878
