Occupation at Lake & Villa Thursday nite
An Occupation of Pasadena took place at Lake and Villa last night around 5:30.
I have no idea when it started but ran across the protests when going out for groceries.
Perfectly positioned, the demonstration was at one of Pasadena’s busiest intersections during the end-of-day rush hour.
I estimated forty to fifty people with signs were lined up on both sides of the street. All types from young to old, in front of the fire station on the west side of Lake and in the lot of a Mexican restaurant to the east.
Placards read things like “Tax the rich,” “Republicans pimp people to Wall Street” and admonishments to save the firefighters, workers visible every day here, from austerity.
It was a great thing to see.
