80 Protesters Arrested During ‘One Of The First’ Occupy Actions Of 2012 | 80 Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested in San Francisco yesterday, during what New York Magazine called “one of the first real occupations of 2012,” after they took over a building belonging to the city Archdiocese. The Nation’s Allison Kilkenny reported that “police in riot gear stormed the two-story building Monday afternoon after breaking through a barricade the activists had built.” The Occupiers had planned to permanently inhabit the building and use it as a service center for the homeless.
