NEWS

• Jury Trial for Randy Wolling, AKA "Sage" -- HUNG JURY.
  • Now awaiting DA's decision on whether to retry the case all over again!
  • Sage was sitting on the sidewalk after the second raid. He is charged with impeding an officer, and illegal assembly.
  • He has been in jail since Oct 28, over a month due to two other previous charges outstanding: meditating on Blacks Beach and being on Blacks Beach before 6am.
  • I can't believe they are wasting their time and money on this. No wonder our government is low on money.
• Temporary Restraining Order DENIED
  • Judge William Hayes rules against the temporary restraining order filed by Occupiers in Federal Court.
    • Full Ruling: http://on.fb.me/uU9kWF
    • This decision is surprising in that it says the SDMC 54.0110 is "narrowly drawn".
• Tables Return to Freedom Plaza
  • The day after Raymond Lutz is arrested while registering voters Occupiers return with tables and voter registration cards to engage in peaceful political activity as is their Constitutional right
  • SDPD tell Occupiers while voter registration is allowed putting tables down is not and threaten to arrest anyone who does so.
  • Occupiers were still registering voters at a table throughout the day and night at Civic Center
• Raymond Lutz arrested!
  • Lutz arrested while engaging in the peaceful political activity of voter registration at Civic Center Plaza.
  • Owner/Operators of Civic Center Office Building include Goldman Sachs, hedge funds and Wall St. Banks -- a who's who of the criminal banking industry 0.1%
  • Ray Lutz has filed a lawsuit against the owners and operators of the Civic Center Plaza building, that invoked the citizens arrest.
    • Press conference held Nov 30 at 5pm to announce the lawsuit.
    • Attorney Michael Aguirre will handle the case on contingency basis, but we still will need to fund-raise for court costs and fees, for war chest and defense fund.
    • Fundraising will be set up shortly separate from OSD funds.
    • I daresay they will be very sorry they stepped over this line.
    • Read the text of the complaint by Lutz against CBRE
  • The ACLU is considering taking up a case to test Pruneyard for the case like what we have in San Diego: The public square where part of it is owned by a private party, and the fact that voters who were registering were not allowed to complete their registrations.
• Yet Another Arrest at Freedom Square
  • Occupier Curtis Williams AKA "Hex" arrested for the unbelievable crime of tearing caution tape early Wednesday morning.
• Hunger Strike -- John Kenney continues his hunger strike, now in day 25. He is requesting that the City come to the table and discuss the right of Occupy San Diego to conduct protests in the form of an encampment. John is now sick and I am starting to worry about his health.
  • Need to get a wheelchair for John at this point as he is feeling weak. Any donations?

Despite what you might hear on the corporate-owned news:

• The occupation continues, around the clock.
• PLEASE COME DOWN when you can and help with numbers. This is your true vote. Stay at home = vote against 99%.
• Tents and almost everything is now being restricted by the police.
• Food is needed -- we no longer have a food table, so you'll have to play it by ear.
• We will not be denied our constitutional right to assemble and speak!
• Many Teach-ins on Sunday!
