click November 2009 san francisco 35 gutter credit here WHEn: 12:30 p.m. 9/24/09 WHErE: sproul Plaza, UC berkeley in a protest recalling the berkeley of the ’60s—only with the focus on budgets, not bombs—more than 5,000 UC students and faculty railed against imminent student-fee hikes and cuts in jobs and salaries. The event was angry but not cha- otic, unlike the infa- mous demonstration at People’s Park in 1969, during which Alameda County sheriff’s depu- ties shot and killed one protester and injured more than 100 others (the National Guard was even brought in). Arnold wasn’t moved by the 2009 turnout, though, lumping the crowd in with all the other inter- est groups complain- ing about budget cuts. “They’re all screaming,” he said. PHoToGraPHEr: anna Vignet
