More info.

They are passing the hat for security cameras. She claims her rent is paid up for 6 mos. if so this is an attempt to get around the "no subletting" clause in her lease. Wonder if the building owner did a background check on her and required a full years rent up front?

I don't know. I may be able to find out.

However, there appears to be confirmation that the U-Haul was being used by Capobianco and the artists to load the art and take it to an alternate location (scroll to second post on blog page).

Lori Haigh packed up her gallery today after being physically assaulted yesterday because of some controversial art by Guy Colwell on display at her gallery. She received repeated death threats to her and her children. Instead of treating this as a hate crime and offering their security, the San Francisco police recommended she move out as soon as possible. Artists came by the gallery this morning to put their work in a UHAUL and move it to a new location, which might be the tenderloin. Artists and supporters are encouraging everyone to spread Guy Colwell's art all over the neighborhood in resistance to this censorship, and to make your own art in response. Freedom of expression for all!

I think the blog post is by Rene Amini, who did the videotape and posted stills of the gallery closing and protest.

"He cold-cocked me," Haigh said. "He called me a f--king b--ch and said 'I hope your shop goes down the toilet right along with your freedom of expression.'"

Bwhahaha - I missed this the first time around. I'm sure this imaginary Neanderthal man spoke of "freedom of expression". This is too good.
