Los Angeles urban garden demolished amid protests
Workers bulldozed a 14 acre urban garden in Los Angeles as 10 protesters were arrested trying to halt the demolition. Protesters climbed onto the bulldozer and one locked himself to it. others blocked paths, and the driver was attacked with a milk crate. Authorities charged demonstrators with felony vandalism and trespassing. some may face battery charges. The growers were evicted after three weeks, despite efforts to sell or settle. A pending lawsuit challenges the city sale to Ralph Horowitz, who originally owned the land and had it seized via eminent domain in the 1980s.
