Though the venue was in a back alley, and very inconspicous, it is suspected that police managed to find it by getting a hold of the flyer. After closing the show down the fire inspector started taking pictures of people at the event as they were dispersing. The show was a benfefit for the people arrested in the Long Beach Massacre on May 1st. This is another episode added in a wave of attacks against anarchists in the SoCal area since the Long Beach Massacre.<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"20 Minutes into a Benefit show for M1 arestees, the LAPD shuts it down.","numcomment":7,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2001\/05\/6749.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":6751,"heading":"Some comments","article":"A few points:\r\n\r\n1) If true, this appears to be quite outrageous politically \r\nmotivated interference in the constitutionally protected \r\nliberties of the people at the gathering.

Civil liberties can be forgotten conveniently when in violation of tedious codes and zones within a city.  We have to keep practicing civil disobedience and letting everyone out there know why we do it.  For what we are, anarchists are more coherent a group than all the faceless capitalist warriors who are still negotiating the idea of negotiating to form a committee to negotiate...
