(This is Part 1 of a series, and is relatively light-hearted. Unfortunately, Part 2, appearing later today or tomorrow, won’t be.)
This post was originally to be entitled “Why does the Mayor of Huntington Beach want the Occupy protesters near a High School?” Thankfully, that take on events is now obsolete — but an interesting story lies behind it.
Disclosure: both I and my Esteemed Publisher Vern Nelson are involved with the Occupy Orange County movement and have been involved to various extents with the events of this story, primarily as liaisons with the city government. (We’re also role models, of course. We accept that burden.) I’m a Civic Liaison, meaning that I negotiate as needed with the city government, police departments, and the like — and as I’ve been doing this the longest and am now being solicited by AARP, I think that I’ll now decree myself the Senior Civic Liaison!
When last I wrote about Occupy Orange County a week ago, the encampment that had moved from Irvine to Fullerton was preparing to leave its second home. It spent until last Wednesday morning in the Brea Dam campsite, with an advance group already dispatched to the third municipal target — Huntington Beach. If you’re already familiar with the background and just want the news, go ahead and jump to the third subtitle.
Hello, I used to be a part of this movement and had to go home because of family problems. All my stuff that I own is still in storage and I don’t know the exact location of said place. It would be greatlly aprecciated if anyone who knows me from the original location; Fullerton can help me out. Heres a list of names of said people. Web, Doobie, Blaze, William, Bird, V, Angel, Nick, Morgan, just to name a few. If theres any way you can contact them to call me please tell them to do so. I need to get my stuff back before the end of the month. Heres my number, 562-631-3627, thank you very much. WE ARE THE 99%!!!
