THIS BUILDING IS OURS! Chapel Hill Anarchists Occupy Downtown Building

Last night, at about 8pm, a group of about 50 – 75 people occupied the 10,000 square foot Chrysler Building on the main street of downtown Chapel Hill. Notorious for having an owner who hates the city and has bad relations with the City Council, the giant building has sat empty for ten years. It is empty no longer.
Update: Police arrest Chapel Hill 'Occupy' protesters
Police brandishing guns and assault rifles entered a Franklin Street car dealership and arrested a group of demonstrators who had taken over the building Saturday night.
