Fresno Sheriff's moved in and started to arrest everyone on site. Since the arrests began 5 days ago, they have only arrested those who chose to stay after the final "disbursement". This time, they came in arresting everyone who was leaving/legal observing. Some have been arrested for several nights in a row. the good ol boys heads are probably read to explode with this defiance and dissent.

These eleven occupiers were kidnapped at approximately 1:30 a.m. at courthouse park: Summer Vue, Kayla, Sy, Razor, Joseph, Michael D., Michael B., Malachi, Jim Compton Schmidt, Moises, and one new person currently known as the "fifth Michael." In this arrest, several were trying to disperse and were forced back onto the park grounds to be arrested.

earn more about the ongoing coercive suppression of our first amendment freedoms and about upcoming Occupy Fresno! actions. Also, please consider either standing up for our rights despite the threat of arrest or serving as a legal observer.

there has always been a core of activists trying to fight against the raging river of neo-cons in Fresno.. and 10 years ago Peace Fresno formed.. but i have never ever seen this many arrested and the fact it is night after night. I hope they can keep it up and i hope they have the legal and financial support. I also home it is enough to wake up and inspire others in Fresno. Because there really are a lot of compassionate and progressives in Fresno.. they just need to realize how incredible and powerful they are.


Friday should be an interesting day.
March in support of veterans. Occupy Fresno will join Green Hope Veterans in the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Fresno Friday. Please check the Occupy Fresno www.occupyfresnoca.org later today for details and see Karen's comments below on the number of people expected and the coverage the parade gets.


They are expecting between 40,000 and 50,000 to attend the parade in Fresno AND it will be broadcast to over 18 million homes. This includes the Pentagon network which is seen by millions of service men around the world.
Imagine the impact of hundreds marching for Occupy Fresno in this parade!
