Occupy Santa Cruz, in San Lorenzo park, was told that everyone had to clear out by 5 or 6 on December 7th. I showed up to support in case the police came in to arrest people. But of course, as per usual with the occupy movement, the police waited until the early hours of the next morning to evict so that supporters and media weren’t on hand to document their tactics.
It was a sad site to see the camp being dismantled, but to be honest I’d expected it weeks or months earlier.
A few more photos after the cut:
Cool Photos !! I am so glad someone is documenting the movement. The eviction was inevitable but I just want to thank all the Occupier’s who camped out for Justice ! Your true patriots.
We are now at the stage where $POSITIVETHINGS are wearing thin.
Cool photos, Magpie. I was there the next morning and posted a bunch of photos, in case people want to check them out:
