My wife reports that one lane was blocked off and six police cars with lights flashing. She was on her way to Arcata at about 4:00. I’ll check around the blogosphere, but all reports are welcome.
Another driver reports that it was cleared up, but a sizable protest remained, by 5:30.
Addendum: NCJ Blogthing has some photos. It looks like the protesters put some shelters back in, and the authorities removed them. No indication of any altercations in the report.

HUUFC, its not the Occupy folks who are calling the police to come do raids which have no law enforcement purpose. Your comments should be directed to the city and county governments who call upon law enforcement to waste their time and our resources destroying people’s camping equipment rather than pursuing criminals. I walked through the encampment several times while on business in the courthouse and never noticed any problems being caused by anyone.
If you don’t like seeing protestors at the courthouse perhaps the best approach would be to address their grievances so they will feel their civic duty has been done and can return to their normal lives.

Ed, have you been spending time with Tom. Did you see the pallets they had put inside those tent. At what point is it a protest or a camping site.

What part of “occupy” don’t you understand? To hassle them is only playing into their hand, you are making them squeal with joy. Please, just don’t shoot them. They really are harmless, and the lawn will grow better after they leave.

Ed, as always (or as usual) you are an idiot. Sorry for the name calling but that ‘s the only word that seems to work.
Ernie, have you seen or observed this group in action? Maybe you should before you comment?
