EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION: Prevent the forcible closure of Occupy Wall Street!
Posted Oct. 13, 2011, 2:14 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Tell Bloomberg: Don't Foreclose the Occupation.
Join us at 6AM FRIDAY for non-violent eviction defense.
Please take a minute to read this, and please take action and spread the word far and wide.
Occupy Wall Street is gaining momentum, with occupation actions now happening in cities across the country.
But last night Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD notified Occupy Wall Street participants about plans to “clean the parkâ€â€”the site of the Wall Street protests—tomorrow starting at 7am. "Cleaning" was used as a pretext to shut down “Bloombergville†a few months back, and to shut down peaceful occupations elsewhere.
Bloomberg says that the park will be open for public usage following the cleaning, but with a notable caveat: Occupy Wall Street participants must follow the “rulesâ€. These rules include, "no tarps or sleeping bags" and "no lying down."
So, seems likely that this is their attempt to shut down #OWS for good.

1. So Bloomberg gets to make up new rules
whenever he feels like it?
Nice.
For him and the rest of the Overlords.
But those are public safety regualtions. You're not some sort of Teahadists that hates public safety, are you?

We?
Much better to have these dictatorial forces from the Upper One Percent making their intelligent moves on the chessboard of a movement..

18. Have to disagree Warpy, they're posting new rules once they get them out of the park
for "cleaning." The new rules include the following, no tents, no sleeping bags, no tarps... basically, no way to comfortably occupy the outdoors at this time of year.

14. It's a lose-lose situation, another conniving police tactic. I agree with being peaceful
but this is just more of the same war they've been waging from the beginining.
And on it goes.

They're spoiling for a fight.

I loved Rudy's take on this on Hannity. He would have stopped it, THE FIRST DAY.

Which bring up the obvious question: Isn't an occupation where you're taking up residence in a place where those in control and/or the current residents would rather not have you around? So how can they "occupy" Wall Street when the powers-that-be have granted them a permit to be there? Sorta kills the whole "occupy" theme.

why stop with tents and sleeping bags
take away everything the "criminal capitalistic system" has given them.

Flamethrowers DO fall into the "cleaning devices" category.

Another lost opportunity for the DUmmies to earn some cash, who here would not pay to watch a streaming video of the vagrants in the park being removed forcefully or otherwise.
All it requires is some entrepreneurial spirit to setup a video cam near by or even in the office windows across the street and let it run.
I know it would be very unproductive day tomorrow as I would be riveted to the monitor watching for the next hippie to get tasered.

That's exactly what Bloomberg should have done. Let them have their couple of hours, then shoo them back to the dark corners they crawled from.
In every TP gathering I've been lucky enough to get to people got their permits if needed, showed up and left at the times set, thanked LEO present, left the area looking the same or better than when we arrived. There's no reason why the occupiers could not have done the same. Perhaps someone might hear whatever it is their message might be if they act with a modicum of decency.

"Clean the park" is covert language for "beat up hippies". :wink:

This is going to be one of those times I'm glad I joined the Guard.

Gee DUmmies, just what did you expect, you walked in, took over, trashed the place, shit and piss everywhere, then you wonder why you aren't exactly welcome back?
-
Hey assholes, sooner or later someone has to wash the smell of dirty hippy crotch out of the place. If they didn't, you'd be complaining about "the intolerable conditions" NYC is forcing you to protest under.
Besides, isn't that private property to begin with? You're lucky to even have a nest to foul. If I owned Zucotti Park I'd have already hired my own Blackwater bouncers to dropkick your asses out of there.
Actually, I could probably get a troop of Brownies to do it, and cheaper, but I believe in hiring veterans.

Looks like the hippies are making some attempt to start cleaning up the park, maybe they should have been doing that since day one, instead of waiting for a month.

According to NYPD, some of them are firearm packed.

A few well-aimed fire hoses can work wonders. Clean the park... the protesters... It's all good...
-

If true and I highly doubt it then they are the 1% .

I was just wondering if the clOWnS were smoking in public and using salt? Maybe that's why Bloomberg is giving them the boot.

A recent NYT article describing how few legal handguns there are in NYC.
The article states there are only 37,000 people licensed to own a handgun. In NYC the number of civilians actually allowed to carry concealed are in the hundreds. FYI you need to have a handgun purchase authorized by the commissioner before the actual sale and they only have recorded 41,164 sales in a city of >7 million. Again if anyone in NYC has a license to carry concealed then they are truly the 1% they are protesting against.

Wow! I do remember that commercial. I hadn't thought of it since the 80s till you posted that video. Nostalgia Hi5.

I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Is it just me or is this generation of protesters a bunch of wussies? Personally I would love to see only one cop show up with a truck and one of those sonic weapons to clear out all the wanna be anarchist heroes. If NYC has a the ability to bring down a plane then you know they have to have at least one of these things locked up somewhere.
OH! Even better. One in a helicopter. Just hover and watch all the rats scatter with all their improvised body armor and Soviet era gas masks with no one to retaliate against.

I remember the one where the Cavity Creeps march to war - 'We make holes in teeth ! - We Make holes in teeth!' more vividly than this one - but I do remember it.

Hell yeah, even the hippies of my generation were made of tougher stuff than these numbnuts. Look at the '68 Democratic National Convention. They got their asses kicked but at least they fought back. Your modern DU hippy collapses in a puddle of piss at the slightest whiff of pepper spray, then wants to call Daddy's lawyer to sue somebody. Some revolutionaries, this lot are.
Oh, and while I'm waxing nostalgic for the hippy days of yore, my hippies didn't ask for entitlement checks. They would show enough initiative to get up off the couch and stand in the drive-thru lane at Jack-In-The-Box cadging "spare change" from the customers. Today's hippies want it mailed to them by the government or direct deposited, and there better damn well be enough in there for dinner and a movie too, because they deserve a little recreation.
Worthless scum.

Well, the owners cancelled the enema that the park so desperately needed. Something about the "occupiers" cleaning up the park themselves.
-
yea i saw a clip of one of them with a mop scrubbing up the sidewalk
now they just need mandatory showers to finish the clean-up

Well, it's as racially diverse as OWS, but the wrong race.

Beck was saying at 10:10 that the goons threw bottles and garbage at the cops? Anybody hear about this?
