Five Los Angeles activists were arrested this morning while taking part in an Occupy action targeting a downtown business lobby. Organizers of Occupy the CCA say the Central City Association exerts too much influence over city leaders and agencies in its bid to back multi-billion dollar development in the city’s core. During a morning rally and general assembly, five activists were arrested for vandalism, loitering and blocking a public right of way.
