Re: Two Court Actions on Friday

Thanks for posting this Robert.

Clarification:

In your posting you seem to think that the targets of the "Move along" law are the homeless and that the impacts on street musicians and free speech are secondary. Yet with your own experiences with the City Council and their police you should know that the City government is very interested in selectively impeding free speech. My case is a free speech fight.

Good luck to both of you. Kick ass. You are doing this for everyone, Robert and Steve. Courageous warriors you are.
 

Re: Two Court Actions on Friday

I think collaborating a rally of all people on the street-- speaking what they like, setting up tables, playing music-- would be a great response to this nonsense. Alive streets.
Will they ticket everyone? Arrest us all?
Bring this to everyone's attention:
They're trying to shut you up.
Don't shut up. Never shut up.
 

Re: Two Court Actions on Friday

Get a real cause. You people either need more demanding jobs or more involving hobbies. "Courageous Warriors" -- Good Grandma! Why don't you really DO something for the people of this community? Support a soup kitchen. Gather donations of old clothes. Pick up garbage on the beach. Oh wait -- those things wouldn't garner you as much publicity as hanging out on Pacific Avenue and yelling. I get it.

Say what you like, I was arrested defending your freedom.

My work is not charity. I fight for what is ours.
 

Re: Two Court Actions on Friday

The SCPD budget is one-third of the city's general fund. ONE THIRD!! We have given police a carte blanche to go after the poor, the homeless, the people of color, and activists.

The new downtown ordinances are overly oppressive on their face, and when combined with the selective way they are enforced, they impact the quality of life for us all.

The police have basically been turned into a private security goon squad for the merchants!
Stacia, get a clue. We don't have a CPRB anymore--not coincidentally, this commission was axed right after it passed a motion condeming selective enforcement as a SCPD policy, but before they could present the resolution to the City Council.

Stacia, are you on the receiving side of the buttered side of the bread?
