"If we can occupy a building, what else might we seize"?

http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2011/11/27/breaking-and-entering-a-new-world/  

"Underground Reverie" proporting to be involved in the Yates building seizure have published a slideshow telling their side of the story.  Its interesting that they seem to equate property rights and repression, and view this as just one battle in a larger war.  The question "If we can occupy a building, what else might we seize" implies they're wanting to come back and try this again.  Personally, I hope they don't "start taking over" as vast majority of Chapel Hill/Carborro residents really don't want to have their democracy overthrown by anarchists, thank you very much for not asking.

And then there's the signs that say "Off the pigs", "pigs gonna pay", and "all cops are bastards".

UNC students awakened during Chapel Hill break-ins

Police were searching for a man who broke into two homes off Rosemary Street early Friday, awakening the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill students who live there.

Both burglaries occurred between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Church Street and Pritchard Avenue, police said. In both cases, the man entered through unlocked front doors.

Carson Case - The Judicial Phase

Orange-Chatham District Attorney James Woodall just announced that he will seek the death penalty against Demario James Atwater in the slaying of former UNC Student Body President Eve Carson.

Can it happen in Orange County?

Northside Neighborhood Night Out

From the paper:

This party honors Mary Norwood Jones, the neighborhood activist who died in February. She would regularly walk the streets picking up litter, and she organized neighborhood watch meetings in the Northside neighborhood. On Tuesday, neighbors will walk the streets celebrating cleaner streets and first-time homebuyers. Afterward, there's a moon bounce. The party will be at the Hargraves Community Center at 216 N. Roberson St. at 6:30 p.m.

Is It Time that We Got Serious About This Problem?

The news regarding the two armed robberies yesterday, one in the alley between the Rosemary & Columbia Street lot and Franklin Street, and the other at the ATM at the Wachovia at University Mall, got me to asking myself: Am I comfortable when my wife goes out to run errands on her own? And, for the first time that I can remember, the answer is a solid no.
