It should have never gotten to this point, the first time it started to get filthy there, they should have been thrown out on their asses.

If Giuliani was in charge they would've been booted the 1st night. Sean said that Bloomberg is the reason why this ridiculous movement spread, if he nipped it in the bud it would've ended.

What!!??? no Tazers? The police are letting the protesters off with just a slap on the wrist and a smack upside the head. We are a soft society.
Yes, but don't forget, all their expensive electronic toys (Laptops, cameras, etc., ironically enough produced by the same capitalist corporations that they seem to despise) are now crushed to bits in a landfill somewhere. That's gotta hurt those spoiled brats a lot more than a quick blast from a tazer.

no temperatures below the upper 30's at night
  A wet upper thirties is mighty uncomfortable, especially if you've lived the cushy life, and haven't been to Basic Training. 

I don't know why the NYT is getting into bed with this.  Is this the financial revival they're hoping for?

It still sucks just as much even if you have been through it, you just have a real good idea of exactly how much it's going to suck.

Good call.
Bloomberg didn't grow enough balls to crack down on them until two factors came to his attention:
1. He realized how lawless and violent the Occupy freaks had become, and how much their encampment had begun to turn into one gigantic fire/ safety hazard, of the sort that lawsuits are made of.
2. Tourism is always a very important contributor to NYC's economy, especially around the holidays, between the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and Christmas in Rockefeller Center and everything else. He didn't want to run the risk of the Occupy freaks disrupting those events, or harassing or terrorizing tourists.
As you said, Giuliani would have kicked those freaks out right away and saved a lot of decent citizens a lot of misery.

Oh my. They are already putting out books about this OWS bs. Ok it is a Amazon e book but still....


http://www.amazon.com/October-2011-Battle-Brooklyn-ebook/dp/B005Y27VLU/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1321481689&sr=1-1


Nice to know that part of the 99 cent price will be going to the evil 1% Amazon Corp. Only a evil corporation like Amazon could have made it possable for a asshat to put out a book like that with their huge web site and innovative Kindles.
