#2 Protesters will be gathering at Harry Bridges Park in San Pedro starting at 5 a.m

Longshoremen vs Hipsters? Serious pay-per-view potential there. My money is on the people who work for a living.

I do give 'em credit for getting up at 5 am on a Monday, though.

They'll be pretty useless until the nearest expresso shoppes open and a few 'runs' have been made, though.

#4 If it costs a fortune, at least one thing is certain, that the California legislature will try to make it up by raising taxes.

#6 It will be red on red. The ILWU is supporting the Occupiers and the Teamsters and Owner Operators are not. Should be interesting conversations at the gates.

More likely it's because they're still up from ~~tweaking~~ partying all night.

#8 I got a look on TV at the mess that was made by the Occupy LA people when they were finally evicted from the encampment. There were nice, new tents that those people just left standing there. Having participated in Boy Scouts for some years I have an idea of the value of a tent. You can pay upwards of a hundred buck or even more depending on the type of tent you get. Now, it seems to me that if the occupiers had to buy those tents themselves they wouldn't have just left them behind. So my question is: Who paid for those tents?
