Prosecutors on Wednesday dumped 31 cases involving protesters arrested for violating city curfew law in the Occupy Sacramento demonstrations, but left nine on the books to handle people such as Cathy Grahnert, who was taken into custody on multiple occasions.

Grahnert, 57, recently laid off from a legal clinic that served low-income clients, said it was her revulsion over home foreclosures that drew her to Cesar Chavez Plaza as part of the national protest against income disparities and other issues.

"I believe in this cause," Grahnert said in the hallways of Sacramento Superior Court, after learning that her case was one of the nine slated to continue. "I've been mad for three years about foreclosures. I'm happy something is finally being done and people are speaking out."

And now, watching and listening, how the Police Militia Departments around America, are
going after the Occupy folk, with the Goon Squads (paid for with our tax dollars)...I still
CANNOT help but thing about how many of the Wall Street Banksters, that brought down the
world, are all walking about, happy, fat, RICH and laughing.

Things are F'd up! SO...Go Occupy!

4. Good to hear.

I spent part of a day with Occupy Sac back in mid-October. They're good people, and Sac was too heavy handed with them. Let's just hope the DA's office extends this to the other pending OWS cases.
