Dozens of Occupiers evicted from building (SF)

Dozens of Occupiers evicted from building

(04-02) 15:46 PDT San Francisco -- Police on Monday afternoon began arresting Occupy activists who had taken over an empty San Francisco building the night before.

More than two dozen people had been removed from the building at 888 Turk St. by late afternoon, and it was unclear how many more remained inside. Police stormed the two-story building, which is owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, at about 1:45 p.m., after tearing down a barricade that protesters had built to block a main door.

The building has been used as a music education facility by the archdiocese-associated nearby school Sacred Heart Cathedral High School.

Occupy protester Beth Seligman said on Monday morning that a few hundred people came into the building and stayed the night, but police said they believed about 50 to 70 people were inside on Monday afternoon.

maybe calling them The Grand Army of the 1% would be more appropriate.
