NOLA Protesters Vow to Keep FightingBy CAIN BURDEAU – 7 hours ago
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — After violent clashes with police at City Hall, protesters vowed that the fight over a plan to demolish 218 public housing buildings for the poor was far from over, both in the courts and on the streets.
On Thursday, police used chemical spray and stun guns on protesters who tried to force their way into a City Council meeting where the members voted unanimously to allow the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to demolish 4,500 public housing units.
The vote allows demolition crews to begin tearing down the buildings within weeks unless they are blocked in the courts. Lawyers fighting the demolition say they have not exhausted their legal options.
Endesha Juakali, a protest leader arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace, said the confrontation with the council was not the last breath from protesters.
"For everything they do, we have to make them pay a political consequence," Juakali said. He vowed that when the bulldozers try to demolish the St. Bernard complex, "it's going to be an all out effort."

Both...,
But just refugees not an intifada. I caught this on the tail-end of democracy now this morning on my car radio..., sad what it's come to - due entirely to a lack of substantive organization in the community.
Now don`t mix Libertarian bullshit into this D.V.
Libertarian bullshit?
What's bullshit about liberty?
You must have Libertarian confused with The Technocracy "Movement".
The fact that we get motive power now from machines and extraneous energy, rather than human muscle power, as in the past, makes it possible to run an engine, stove, jet or dynamo, and is one reason why literal human slavery became obsolete in the early part of the Industrial revolution.
It became to expensive to maintain humans in regard to their labor contribution.
It became pointless within the context of the Price System to literally enslave humans when machines could do most of the work in a more energy efficient way.
Since the Price System is all about making money and social control, the so called morality of enslaving other humans was never the root issue. Money making is always the root issue in a Price System.
Because of our various energy production and delivery systems now, and the myriad designs which convert that power into desired functions, each person now has many inanimate energy appliances working on their behalf 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike the former human slaves that were overtly used in the past, such energy converting machines do not suffer, tire, complain, or run away.
It is no surprise then that ordinary slavery in the industrialized world disappeared shortly after the release of coal power and the steam engine.
Human slave owners understood that human slaves required a lot of overhead in money or debt tokens to maintain.
Because a humans output (about 1/20th of a horsepower, or around 36 watts) became more expensive than machine power to maintain, and would not allow then for a Price System profit, slavery was abolished, and those human slaves then made into wage slaves to join the already working 'free' wage slaves.
Instead of being owned as private property and bought and sold on a contractual civil law basis, human slaves were given wage slave status instead in the caste class system of modern North America.
The transition from a scarcity based human labor system, class control system, to an abundance based scientific social system has begun.
The transition point of mechanical energy, surpassing human generated energy, occurred in the United States in about 1913.
D.V. you really are dreaming.
Stop with dog mental approach already. What is that ? If you can't eat or pfuck it, piss on it.
