- Las Vegas marshals ticket 7, arrest 3 amid homeless protests
  Posted by Billbar from Las Vegas Sun
  Three people were arrested and seven were issued summonses at two parks, city officials said, including a reporter and a cameraman ticketed for trespassing while covering the protest for KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas. "The idea was to go out there and show the mayor this ordinance makes no sense whatsoever," said Beth Monk, 24, a traffic reporter and radio comedy team sidekick who has engaged in publicity stunts including mud wrestling on the job.

  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Weekly
  Mayor Nickels' plan to address homelessness will send hundreds into the streets - knowingly. Many of those expected to be homeless are older veterans. Federal cuts are hurting as well - so much for Bush's compassion.
