Niko Black, a Native woman (Apache) with terminal cancer, has been evicted from her Garden Grove home by Wells Fargo, with co-operation of the Orange County Sheriff's Department and complicity of the local police. This, despite Niko posting a Federal Court Order forbidding such action on her front door and filing it with local police agencies.

The Persecution of Theresa Dang: Part II (tags)
Petersen was quite right when during opening arguments he told jurors he wasn’t prosecuting “the crime of the century”; what he neglected to inform them, however, was that in reality, he was prosecuting a farce.
Theresa Dang Not Guily: Article and Audio Interviews (tags)
The case of the missing police flashlight remains unresolved, but local activist Theresa Dang can go back to her San Francisco law school now and finish studying for her first final exam after a jury of her “peers” voted her not guilty on two separate counts of petty theft of a Garden Grove police officer's flashlight during a May 25th demonstration at the Garden Grove Women's Club.
Theresa Dang's trial delayed until Nov. 29th (tags)
But let’s give Petersen the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was enjoying his Thanksgiving holiday so much that he just wanted to spend a bit more time away from another grueling day at work. After all, the case the Garden Grove Police have put together against Dang is a real turkey; if any of us were in his shoes, we'd probably play hooky, too.

"Gilchrist's allegation that I was involved in a organizing a counterdemonstration where protesters tried to murder an 80 year old woman who came to hear him speak about the 'Minuteman Project' is bald-faced lie.

Garden Grove Police launch smear campaign against anti-Minutemen protesters (tags)
I wonder how Lt. Handfield would have tried to spin this story if Lafferty had been crushed to death? California state law doesn't give persons driving 3,000 lb. minivans the right to roll over pedestrians, does it?
Garden Grove Police launching smear campaign against May 25th protesters hit by Netkin? (tags)
The real question that people need to ask now is this: Is it the policy of the Garden Grove Police to smear people who have been struck by automobiles? Do they smear people who have been involved in other kinds of accidents, as well? Does Lt. Handfield have qualifications to diagnose people's injuries based on what he sees on videotape? I thought his job was to fight crime?

Theresa Dang's arraignment hearing continued until Wednesday, July 27th (tags)
What will happen next? Only history can tell. But if the rumors I've been hearing about Dang's case prove to be true, public exposure of them will be of considerable embarassment to the entire system of "criminal justice" here in Orange County. Is it no wonder why so many men in powerful positions are incredibly nervous about what the Garden Grove Police have done?
