After organizing last Friday’s Occupy Oceanside event, rumors are running rampant this morning that Kyle Krahel-Frolander has been fired by Deputy Mayor Esther Sanchez. Neither Krahel-Frolander nor Sanchez could be reached for comment as of this posting, although multiple sources have confirmed the information.
It is unknown if Krahel-Frolander’s recent activities with Occupy Oceanside are connected with the rumored dismissal, but this YouTube video of the Friday event features him prominently, along with questions about whether he is in fact behind the effort and if he is doing so on city time:

Krahel-Frolander, who additionally goes by Kyle Krahel on his Facebook page, also organized an anti-tea party rally in April. The UT had that story. Did the fact that he took some heat for his involvement at that time cause him to try to downplay or deny his involvement now in the YouTube video?
His Facebook page shows Krahel-Frolander to be 2004 graduate of Oceanside’s El Camino High School and a 2008 graduate of Harvard University. He quotes Mark Twain on Facebook, “Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it,” and claims as his religious views, “resistance to tyranny is obedience to god.”
