Padlocks, bulldozers and real estate law be damned. The organizers and activists behind South Central Farmers failed bid to cling to their community garden are still at it.
They're still griping mightily about "backroom deals" and generally ignoring the fact that - in the end - they apparently pissed off David Horowitz to the point where he just didn't want to sell them the 14-acre plot where they'd been squatting rent-free for three years.
They're camping out outside the fence, tending crops and flowers they've planted in the 30-inch strip of parkway between curb and sidewalk, and generally refusing to give up. Protests are planned for this weekend, starting this morning at City Hall just minutes from now:
