CHAPEL HILL –        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.

A Chapel Hill Transit bus sat outside the long vacant University Chrysler  building where the arrested protesters were taken.

Police officers stationed themselves around the building. One officer against  a tree aimed an assault rifle at a dormer window where protesters had hung signs  that said “Occupy” and “Everything.”

Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton stood across the street in a crowd watching. He  said he was up the street having tea when 15 to 20 officers arrived at the  Chrysler building shouting for the protesters to get on the ground.

A crowd of more than 50 people watched and jeered from across Franklin  Street.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” they cried.

When someone noticed that the bus had an ad for Wells Fargo, the chant  changed to “Who do they serve? Wells Fargo! Who do they protect? Wells  Fargo!”

    Cleaning up is going to take more than you can imagine. I headed out to Zuccotti Park last week, and it was truly disgusting. It’s going to take months to delouse the park…

    Certainly they were there illegally. But when I am somewhere illegally, the cops come and tell me to move and if I don’t, I get handcuffs. Not assault rifles.

    But are you an anarchist? That might be the difference.
