Occupy Columbia protesters sue South Carolina governor
A group of seven Occupy Columbia protesters filed a Richland County suit against Governor Nikki Haley and state safety officials alleging improper removal and seeking to allow tents on the State House grounds. The filing cites peaceful aims, asserts government officials blame protesters for damages, and notes Oct. 16 arrests after Haley criticized the occupation. The suit follows Haley’s claim of $17,000 in overtime and other costs and details a planned general assembly to decide future camp actions.
