Saturday, 1:10 pm mountain time – LA Indymedia reporter denied access at pepsi center fence gates. After repeated attempts to gain access into the so called “free speech area” the LA-IMC reporter has given up. Only corporate media is being allowed in. Reporter estimates via txt mgs - “600 media people in line to get inside the fenced pepsi center”. Reporter says fences look to be about 8 feet high.

Saturday, 1:30 pm – Security guard at entrance gate has told LA-IMC reporter not to take any more photographs. Reporter has left the scene for now to avoid any further conflict.
