Occupy LA Arrives, Departs Norwalk Within Hours

Today was the BUSIEST FRIDAY I have EVER had since going to work as a Reporter for Los Cerritos Community News here in Cerritos almost nine months ago. It was literally one breaking news story after another for the past 24 hours. Anyway, I got a call this afternoon from a Norwalk elected official who told me, "Randy, they are Occupying Norwalk!" WTH? I don't have TIME to cover OCCUPY ANYTHING right now, but being the dutiful news dude here in the 562, I picked up my phone at Los Cerritos Community News and talked to Norwalk City Manager Mike Egan who provided me with all the "details" about the "temporary" occupation of the 90650. Anyway, off to celebrate (finally) the holidays tonight at a wonder local service club fundraiser. Peace. Randy.
Visit Los Cerritos Community News at www.loscerritosnews.net for more details. Remember about that awe, 99%!  Now can we NOT have anything "BREAKING" here in SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES COUNTY for the NEXT TWO HOURS?

Members of Occupy LA came to Norwalk City Hall this afternoon and held an impromptu news conference to talk about the state of home foreclosures here in Los Angeles County.
Norwalk City Manager Mike Egan, told Los Cerritos Community News this afternoon "several dozen peaceful protestors" gathered at the entrance of Norwalk City Hall, located at 12700 Norwalk Boulevard.
More than 7,000 foreclosed properties are on the auction block at Norwalk Superior Court. They targeted Bank of America at today's event. 
Egan said the group quickly disbanded.
No arrests were made, and the crowd did chant some of their now "trademarked" slogans throughout the brief protest.
