Last night, Occupy Los Angeles was to be evicted. As the LA Times put it

: “When the LAPD announced that it wanted the campers out by midnight Sunday, officials hoped many protesters would leave voluntarily. Instead, the deadline prompted hundreds of people to converge on the area.” Although the police arrested a few people for blocking the streets early this morning, they did not in the end evict the encampment at City Hall Park.
