Occupy.
Summons, Complaint, Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Brief in Support filed, parties served (they deny it), hearing held, no order issued but an agreement reached that people can stay past noon on Monday (til 4:00), structures (hoophouses) can stay til Wedensday at noon no matter what and after a hearing on Monday at 4:00 they may be able to stay even longer!
More details soon . . . Judge Markson did not issue a written order, but help a very impromptu hearing at which the city attorney’s office appeared even tho they claimed they represented no one, and agreed to something, that presumably they don’t have the authority to decide since they weren’t allegedly representing anyone. I dunno. It was kinda bizzare. The duty judge should have ruled on the temporary restraining order, but he punted to Judge Amy Smith who the case was assigned to – they will have a hearing on Monday at 4:00.
That’s all I got til now, surreal day. Have to go meet and meet again . . . then I will know more . . .
So now Soglin is claiming there’s been “sexual assault” at the Occupy site. I’ve seen the police calls, and talked to the Police Captain who’s been the city liason to the site, and this is the first I’ve heard about sexual assault. What does Soglin know that we don’t know? Or is he just lying about us now?

Police were called for a sexual assault, but that is not what it was. Bummed Soglin isn’t on top of the facts.
