South Central Farmers Evicted, Treesitter Daryl Hannah Jailed

LOS ANGELES, California- A three year struggle of South Central Los Angeles farmers to save their gardens came to a climax Tuesday morning as Los Angeles police, firefighters and about 65 sheriffs deputies raided the contested farm land, arresting 45 people.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other city officials negotiated with landowner Ralph Horowitz for hours even as law enforcement officials removed protesters from the property. Read on.

Actress Daryl Hannah says she is “not thrilled” about being arrested at a protest to save an urban farm in Los Angeles.

But the star, who had been sitting in a walnut tree on the site for more than two weeks, told People magazine from her jail cell hat she had been determined to show her commitment to the cause.

HH says: It has been reported that Willie Nelson and Leonardo DiCaprio had stopped by in the past weeks to show their support. Much like Rush's "drive by media" referring to the MSM, Willie and Leonard did their own version of 'drive by' ---- "drive by Hollywood". They stopped, "sprayed their bullets of support" and a few "you go girl"(s), and off they went to look for another cause "to support." Probably some telethon where they get us suckers to "pony up" to save the grub worm from global warming.
