Police were called on a group of retirees who refused to leave Sen. Dianne Feinstein's West Los Angeles office until she talked to them about health care reform.

Los Angeles police Sergeant Rich Brunson said Thursday that police lured the group of seven outside somehow, then locked the building's doors behind them.

Brunson had said earlier that eight people were being taken into custody, but corrected himself after getting new details from officers on the scene.

A spokeswoman for the 55- to 87-year-old activists said they arrived at Feinstein's office around noon and remained in her conference room more than six hours.

Feinstein spokesman Gil Duran says staff offered the retirees an in-person meeting with the senator during a Los Angeles visit next week but that they demanded to speak with her immediately.

    That sounds reasonable to me, you can't just show up at a Senators office and demand to see them. If they let them get away with it, soon every nut with a cause would be standing around her office building and she would never get any work done .(not a bad idea)
    I think it was good of her to offer a scheduled meeting later and they should have gratefully accepted.
    Just being a veteran shouldn't allow activists special access to our lawmakers but I do applaud their interest in the process and desire to prevent what will be a debacle of historic proportions. There just is a process they should follow in their efforts.

    Process!!!! Are you freaking kidding me. There are a lot of "processes" that they fully ignore. They no longer care about the process. The meeting would have been scheduled and then promptly canceled. Someone needs to pull their head out and look at what is going on. You would then see that the "process" no longer works.
