Justice Has Its Windows Smashed
Shortly after midnight on Friday the 13th of June, the Santa Cruz County Courthouse experienced not bad luck, but a deliberate act of revolt. Inspired by recent actions in the area and the struggles of others around the world, river rocks were thrown through two plate glass windows. The breaking of windows was a moment of sheer joy for us. We'd like to dedicate them to every prisoner and detainee who has been forced to undergo the dehumanizing farce of cold Justice, but especially to these sp...

Measure K Commission Survivor Speaks Out 6 PM Thursday 6-12 on Free Radio
The terminally moribund City's Measure K Commission--supposedly policing the police to insure they keep marijuana busts on private property as their lowest priority--had its first meeting in 6 months last Monday (June 9). The meeting was postponed from the week before. Both the former chair Larry True and vice-chair Eric Rice had resigned. The meeting was run by a pro-police staffer Tina Sholl and then taken over by pro-police showcase psuedprogressive Mary Lou Goeke. Anita Henri will dis...

New ordinance tackles drinking at teen parties
Did the Santa Cruz Sentinel fire their editors and proof readers too?
First the article talks about "The City Council" without saying Which City Council. Then it talks about "The county Board of Supervisors." Then the article talks about the council again. Next the article quotes "Councilman Edward Din" without saying where he is a councilman. Edward Din is a member of the Watsonville City Council.
The first line could say "Police in Watsonville"
The second line could say "The Watsonville ...

Isla Vista is a dense city of about 12,000 adjacent to UC Santa Barbara, which is set somewhat apart from the town of Santa Barbara by 2-3 miles of wetlands and upper-class estates.
