I’ll let the NYT take this:
1,300 ARRESTED IN CALIFORNIA ANTINUCLEAR PROTEST
More than 1,300 antinuclear protesters were arrested today in a nonviolent demonstration at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, one of two facilities in the nation where nuclear weapons are designed.
About 3,000 people participated in the first of what is planned to be three days of demonstrations at the facility, situated about 40 miles southeast of San Francisco. The protesters blocked the main roads leading to the laboratory and delayed the plant’s 7,000 employees from reporting to work.
[Ultimately, I believe most of the protestors were let off within the next day or so for time served for jaywalking.]
