Live stream evidence used against the Ice Cream 3 – OGP Gazette

This case involves a group of Occupy Oakland activists who met at Fenton’s ice cream shop on Piedmont Avenue and planned a non-violent bank protest, only to find three of them prosecuted with trumped up “hate crimes” charges due to a supposed assault and anti-gay slur against a pedestrian near the action. In fact, the supposed victim admitted in the pre-trial hearing to using racist language toward at least one of her “attackers” and assaulting them.
