After a City Council meeting of the spiritually exhausted talking to the morally dysfunctional about the need to do the obvious in the Sean Alrt murder: release the audio and videl, fire the officers involved, dump the police chief and city manager if necessary, and make other fundamental changes in the SCPD, HUFF will consider its low-intensity but persistent protests against SCPD arrogance, stonewalling, and lack of accountability. Also on the agenda: the Santa Barbara RV struggle, pushing back against Parks and Recreation “no loitering” repression, reports of a cops breaking one homeless man’s arm, and other incidentals. All with coffee. Free.

In the wake of smoking police guns, HUFF meets tomorrow 11 AM Sub Rosa Cafe at 703 Pacific
With the recent killing Sean Amit Sunday morning, police gunslingers have raised a long needed debate about the need for Community Control of Police that HUFF has long been urging. Or will this be another excuse to blame the disabled and the “mentally ill”? Also on the Agenda:
- the ACLU Board of Directors meeting 7 PM tomorrow night at Louden Nelson–homeless defense on the agenda or was the Houseless Forum A Carnival Passing Through Town?…
- Tenant Rights Forum 7 PM Louden Nelson also tomorrow–Will City Council candidates punt or play (don’t get your hopes up)…
- the continuing struggle of vendors and street performers downtown–Romina’s struggle as the City Attorney stonewalls…
- street artists Joff and Alex–a lost battle against the Blue Boxes–but an ongoing war?
- Endorsing Council Candidates or Repudiating the Election?
- Rainy Days and Rousts–is Jessica Nash’s report a peek into the future?…
and, of course, more and more…
with hits of coffee available to keep you going…
