Raisethefist.com: LBPD & City Prosecuter Shut Down LB Infoshoppe!
LBPD & City Prosecuter Shut Down LB Infoshoppe!

The city prosecuter hand-in-hand with the Long Beach Police have gotten us evicted. Today, April 3rd, we received an eviction notice from our leasing company (Crestwave) that our lease will be terminated on May 3rd. The notice came 3 days after we received a letter from the Long Beach Prosecuters office alledging that we were in violation of several city codes. These so-called "violations" were not stated in the letter, however the letter also mentioned numerious loud noise complaints. The last time we had a show at the REACH Center was on December 28th, 2002 (4 months ago). Police officers came to this show in response to a noise complaint, stating the noise needed to be turned down, and then the police left. There was no confrontation. The situation was dealt with peacefully and respectively. The noise was turned down, the last two bands were canceled, and the show ended at approximately 8pm, 2 hours early. Since then there hasn't been a show, and police haven't come to the shop in response to any noise complaints.
On January 1st, 2003 the Long Beach CopWatch (a subsidiary of RACUN Community Defense Program) opened its third command post in Long Beach at the REACH Center (aka the Revolutionary Empowerment and Community Help Center and Long Beach Infoshoppe) located at 684 Redondo Ave. Coincidently the Long Beach Police contacted the REACH Center's leasing company, Crestwave, on the 2nd and threatened to take legal action against them if the REACH Center was not shut down. Crestwave management were told by police that when they came to the benefit show held at the REACH center on December 28th, 2002 on a noise complaint that someone tried to assualt them. An eye witness explained that police officers came to the show in response to a noise complaint, stating the noise needed to be turned down, and then the police left. There was no confrontation. This was an obvious attempt to presure the leasing company to terminate our lease.
On Saturday, April 26 there will be an "EVERYTHING MUST GO CLOSING SALE" along with a dance party.
If you would like to help the REACH Center relocate, please let us know! You can contact us at 562-434-6934 , or email us a lb_infoshoppe@yahoo.com . We are also accepting donations to help pay off our outstanding bills.

You had an Anarchist center?

That is fucking awesome! Or at least I suppose it was. I'm not suprised you guys were shut down, you are lucky you're not on trial for being anti-american, because you know that a revolutionary anything is coming under close scrutiny by the feds and the locals. Big brother is taking away safe private place for you and your friends to meet. You'll probable all end up loitering around a 7-11 now.

do something about it
by mexican ANARCHIST ( Sat Apr 26 05:10:28 PDT 2003

perhaps you guys in la should do something about it we are anarchists not fucking sheep to be told what to do. is not may 3rd the day your eviction is suppossed to take place the day that strikers in chagago were murdered by police ?is not the day after may 3rd the day of the haymarket square massacre? should not then you stand up instead of quietly leaving? fuck at least say soemthing. 4 people were hanged for being anarchists- they were fucking assasinated simply for being anarchists. may day is coming up real soon perhaps this will help jump start an action to save the info shop which is very important to la. although i have never been there in person i have heard great things about it down here in san diego.you must not go quietly into the night. i hope you find a way to keep it open or find a new location if keeping it there is impossible. keep fighting and do not simply stand by and let it be taken from you.

Take Legal Action
by Reno ( Wed May 7 18:53:12 PDT 2003

From your artical it sounds like you have, found, legeal grounds for a counter suite or at least an appeal on the grounds of infringment of your first amendment right to gather with like minded people and insure the protection of desent which is neccessary for a healthy democracy, ours by the way must have the plague for for the way its treating revolutionaries. Harrassment is harrassment. Just because they are cops doesnt give them the right to slander and attack people whom they might not agree with. Does the center have any form of legal representation? Because there lies the battlefield, the last chance to salvage our rights and make a stand.
So thats it?

Why we didnt "go down fighting"
by Apparently, I am a sheep ( Wed May 21 12:28:02 PDT 2003

This is just speaking for myself here, not anybody else who lived at the space...
Yes, it sucks that we were evicted.. and yes, it pisses me off that the pigs did all of this and our hands were tied.
On one hand, there was the possibility of legal action. The shit side of that is that we would need to find an attorney who would take the case for free (since we are all broke and EVERY effort made to get donations to save the shop showed that people were either not able to or not interested in contributing money). In addition, we would have had to stay there which could royally fuck up the credit of the person whos name was on the lease.
The other option, which was presented in this forum, was to simply "stand up" and not let them take the space. As American activists (including activists who have engaged in actions in the LBC) have proven, we really cannot successfully stand up to the state. Sure, we could barricade ourselves in the house for a while and eventually get tear gassed, beaten, and thrown in jail...but I will leave that to the more masochistic of those in our movement. The end result is the same, we wind up out of the place. We just had to decide if we wanted to leave with or without injuries and more jail time.
The shop is still there toting a large "CLOSED" sign. If all of you who are feeling brave would like to occupy it and not be a "sheep," then be my guest. Just dont say I didn't warn you when you are sitting in jail with cuts and bruises and that big closed sign is back on the shop.
