Instantly hippies and conservative liberals around the park rushed to their defense. Through exessive chanting, despite tazors being brandished and the use of chemical sprays the crowd held its ground in pushing back and unarresting the black bloc. Many memembers in the group recognized there IMC.compatriots and assisted the black bloc sector into safety. Despite exssive physical violence shown by the police the crowd was able to maintain control and force the police off of the grass and onto the sidewalk. The festivities continued at the state capitol until Food Not Bombs began serving at the welcome center. People slowly dispersed leaving in a festive positive mood.

The unarrest tactic is one aspect that black bloc has been instrumental in teeching their peers at protests and is now affectively being used to aid them to safety as well.

The Sacramento mobilization, despite it's small size has been an extremely well organized demonstration which has been proven extraordinarily successful.

After the unarrests came the groups reconvened after lunch in front of the convention center. Because of the effectiveness of tactics deployed, the ribbon cutting ceremony was moved inside. Unfortunately for the police, public sympathy is with the people and not with them. Fearful of delegates dwindling interests in GMOS's and GE technology and growing awareness of the corporate/police/america state they attempted to hide the delegates away from the city and its real festivities. Too bad Monsanto with all it's money and greed can't throw a party like the people can.
