‘Occupy Los Angeles’ protest gets official support from city
Protesters who have gathered in front of City Hall in Los Angeles to show solidarity with the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters in lower Manhattan received 100 rain ponchos from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Wednesday morning.

The “occupation” began on Saturday, when more than 750 people marched from Pershing Square to City Hall, chanting slogans such as, “Hey hey, ho ho! Wall Street greed has got to go” and “The people united will never be defeated.”

The mayor of the city is not the only official to support the demonstration. Seven of the 15 councilmembers on Wednesday voted to support “peaceful and vibrant exercise in First Amendment Rights carried out by `Occupy Los Angeles.

1. There is a difference between Republicans and Democrats.
The Democrats who control the government of LA, are allowing these peaceful protests to occur, unlike corporate fascist Michael Bloomberg.
