Fair Wage Photo Bomb

The Fair Wage Folks popped up at the Boardwalk to play some tunes and pass out some information.

1 Down

The Mayor thinks I should be ashamed of myself for standing up for my civil rights. Murl Harpham could barely remember his own name but I misidentified the name of a cop and I was pure evil. I corrected that error before proceeding and dismissed my case against the misidentified individual by the way. They claimed we had no community support. Hundreds of people were coming to rallies at Occupy Eureka in October and November. It was police repression that shrank the crowds over time.When a segment of the population held a counter protest we out numbered them 3 to 1. The case has been, "Taken under advisement" and I will hear within the next 30 days. I don't care what the commissioner says in the end. We have already won. We have stood up to an evil repressive regime and said no more. You cannot treat us as serfs we are free people. We have stood together. More then 15 months after the fact people are still coming to support our actions and testify to the wrongs done by the city and by the criminal thieves and killers of the Eureka police department. I am honored to have taken part in the action at Occupy Eureka with comrades such as these. It is the Mayor and the Chief of Police that should hang their heads in shame.
We are not done. Not done fighting this evil regime or fighting for our rights in court. The morning of the 19th of February at 8:30 am Verbena will be proceeding with her civil rights cases. I look forward to seeing you all there.
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE
James Decker.

Victory for the night

The feeling of victory is sweet. Last night around 9:45 2 deputy sheriffs walked by the front of the courthouse while we held our candle light vigil for first amendment rights. The sheepish looks they gave us when we invited them to join us said it all. Total capitulation by law enforcement. They came back around twice more before we departed at 11:30 and ignored our “criminality” each time.
The Machinations of the small town old boy network are becoming clearer with every action of the power structure. The sheriff decries the district attorney's actions while the acting police chief rails against the “lawlessness in front of the courthouse. All against the backdrop of oppressing the poor at every turn.

Random pictures from the PY

We started off the 8th month with a clean up followed by random crazy. Spoke to the board of supervisors and broke up drunk fights. We freaked the deputies out so they came down to watch and ended up arresting Wayne proving that nothing good happens when the police come uninvited to the party.
