This is upsetting, please keep us updated, also are there reports of arrests etc? Is there going to be a gathering in support?
I was marching with the people who got on the freeway, though I did not. Many of us walked around to see if we could see what was going on on the freeway and to maybe get on the freeway ourselves. We watched the man being carried away by the paramedics. I am pretty sure that he was not pushed off the freeway, but that he and some others attempted to get off the freeway by climbing down a tree. Some of them succeeded but he fell. I didn't see him fall but I am 99% sure that's what happened.

What are you talking about? What makes you 99% sure? Basically all Sycamore said was: "I didn't see what happened, but I'm 99% sure he wasn't pushed."

Why is this not a bigger issue? All I keep hearing about this is how it disrupted traffic and only one mention of this man who uh....fell....off a tree....or at least that's all the media says about it. Was anyone able to get video up there? Once again, keep us updated, I don't know who is hurt but i'm angry and upset that one of my comrades is hurt and i don't even know how badly. I shouldn't have stopped at the sidewalk, I should have been up there with you guys instead of worrying about other crap in my life...Solidarity.
by surprised?
I'm usually not shocked when very important events don't get coverage.
Although this seems like it deserves a story, a link or something.
maybe a response in a different form?
