Occupy Santa Cruz Camp demolished, 6+ arrested

by via Occupy Santa Cruz
100+ law enforcement officers, most in riot gear, surrounded Occupy Santa Cruz’s encampment early this morning. Five Occupiers were arrested for resisting “evacuation”, plus one arrest on an unrelated outstanding warrant. Scores of county workers stuffed tents, bicycles and other personal property into a garbage truck. The public was blocked from getting close enough to the activity to take pictures.
One Occupier said, “I lost my tent because I was trying to help that old lady over there. They were going to gas her because she couldn’t get out of her tent fast enough.”

A flier was passed out at camp Wednesday that included this call to action: “We will rally at the courthouse and march to the office of Dannettee Shoemaker on Thursday December 8th at 12:00pm – 323 Church Street. If you have further questions concerning the Evacuation, please feel free to call her at 831-420-5270.”

The trolls who infest forums such as this like to think in their bipolar world's win/lose frame of reference.

There IS no "Lose" when people come together, and HOLD TOGETHER, despite wide differences in almost every social, political, or economic factor existing around here.

Organizing ANYTHING ought to HAPPEN SO MUCH Faster, and more cohesively in the aftermath of an Adbusters inspired Meme (semantic if you would) and the local power elite should take note...

...and be VERY AFRAID for their positions of now-known-to-be illegitimate 'authority'.

An authority as illegitimate as Superior Court Political Hack Volkmann's rubber stamp' decision.

Onward towards "American Spring"

Insurrection bursts forth anew!

The title of this article alludes to more than 6 arrests. The article itself only relates 6 arrests, one of them from an outstanding warrant. I am left wondering what the + represents. Were there more than 6 arrests? If so, how many? If not, why the +??
by attempt to clarify
It seems that the "+" is in the title probably supposed to mean "at least".
