(Note: This video is an 8 min version of the the same video which was previously 15 min in length. I edited out the less meaningful passages so that it now has nearly continuous dialogue. I added a laugh track for humor as well as included some sound effects to emphasize the action.)
The second raid on Occupy Riverside occurred on Wed. Nov. 30, 2011.
No longer being tied down with tents and food to a specific location, the next day, on Thu. Dec. 1, we marched down Main St. Promenade and turned right on 5th. st., going around the Mission Inn. I followed them to make a visual record consisting of still images and videos.
And shortly (at 4:40 in the video), a private security squad from the Mission Inn consisting of four Mission Inn guards assembled before me, cutting me off from the main Occupy Riverside strollers. I decided to record them as it stalked the strollers.
Oh my! At we turned right on Mission Inn Blvd., one of them noticed my recording them along with the strollers, threatening me with jail and confiscation should I not stop recording. The name taped to his mobile phone is "A. Appello," as shown at 6:36.
Undetected in the previous video was that, at 4:37, Il Capo di Tutti Capi, A. Appello, agrees with a passerby's ad hominem remark that the strollers are "loosers" by saying "exactly."
The Mission Inn had two members of the squad follow me across Mission Inn Blvd. and down the Main St. Promenade, with one of the two whose badge at 12:19 revealed his name to be "Peter Demian," attempting to intimidate me with threats of confiscation of my property, arrest, and incarceration, as well as making false and damaging statements about me. The other guard remained silent, not revealing his name.
The Mission Inn also demeaned, harassed, and defamed me when it called me a clown, unemployed, and a loser. It said that my going to jail was a fait accompli. It also objected to the kind of hat I wore by saying that I had "a funny hat." What these ad hominem attacks and petty criticisms have to do with the Mission Inn and its Festival of Lights, it did not say.
The blog, Thirty Miles of Corruption here

Thanks. I believe that the Mission Inn's over-aggresive expeditionary force's march into public streets took its security cues from the atrocious US Patriot act which makes all who live in the US into terrorist suspects.
Even after two raids by the Riverside PD, we continue to meet at the usual Occupy Riverside location where the raids took place. Had the privilege to meet the most wonderful people at Occupy.
