By the end of the day on Thursday the homeless encampment was cleared.  A very disappointing outcome.  However, over 100 observers were present in the morning, including many passionate Occupy Fresno participants and students from CSUF.  Mike Rhodes said, “By far his was the largest number of community members to ever stand in support and witness an eviction of the homeless in Fresno!”  His story with pictures is on the Indybay website.  See: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/10/27/18695578.php

about 5 full trucks full have loaded up and gone. Significant thing is that loads of trash were taken then workers dismantled 2 tent homes. Observers engaged in heated discussions with chp officers. Agreemen reached to not further destroy tents at this time.

I see 20 city workers, 10 chp, and huge vehicles with front scoop claws, scooping into dump trucks.

Observers at 40 earlier, now down to 30.

It appears city and csltrans work has stopped for the day, and expectation is that operations will start up Friday morning.

Cíty officials and workers came with a bulldozer and several trucks and workers to clear the area. Demonstrators formed a line to block the demolition. City officials moved down the street – towards corner of Ventura and Santa Fe. Join Us Now!
