Occupy Los Angeles

[3] Participants met at Pershing Square every subsequent night to plan out the logistics of an occupation set to begin on October 1, 2011.

The parade was generally orderly, though a circle of about twenty protesters surrounded three tents in the middle of a street in deliberate disobedient behavior and were arrested.

[8][9] The movement had several celebrity appearances including NOFX, Amanda Palmer, Jesse Jackson,[10] Bill Maher,[11] Shepard Fairey,[12] Tom Morello (from Rage Against the Machine)[13] Jeff Ross.

[14] and Danny Glover[15] Some of these visitors were interviewed by InsightOut News, a grassroots journalism website that emerged from Occupy LA.

At 12:30 a.m. LAPD declared the Occupy L.A. site an unlawful assembly, and told demonstrators they had 10 minutes to clear the area or be arrested.

[26] Patrick Meighan, writer for the Fox animated sitcom Family Guy, was one of the 292 arrests made on November 29.
