I’ve been down at Occupy LA twice now and while I still grumble that all the satellite vans are pointed at the Michael Jackson’s doctor trial – there are cameras down at the protest and I’ve managed to be in front of a couple of them. With various hats on, apparently, in extreme (for LA) weather. Here’s one with no embed from one of our local NPR stations, KPCC .
