Cool.

AWESOME.

Yay we get to Bulldoze them again!!

As distasteful as many people find it, protesting is one of the most important rights we have. Let them do their thing.

Frankly, I find them cute and amusing. I really liked it when they marched on my building in Houston. This scraggly guy carried a old, manual typewriter to our building, sat down and typed something, tied it to balloons and yelled "I hope this gets to the top!"

OWS is extended street theatre. Enjoy it.

Oh, and I also need to add that OWS is also a tourist attraction. I ended up in NYC a couple weeks ago and half of my team skipped a dinner at Patsy's on 56th just to go see the protesters.

Last night on Fox news they showed a number representing how much in taxes the OWS protest in Philly has cost the city. Thanks, Fox news!

They want the full outdoor experience? I suggest NYC reintroduce large predators to the park. The gray wolf. Cougars. Black bear.

AppleOptionEsc: Some one's bride money didn't clear, apparently.

Nothing worse than an insufficient dowry.

BalugaJoe: Maybe Bloomberg owns stock in Paragon Sporting Goods.

Now they gotta go back and buy more tents.

I really don't think they can afford Paragon's prices.


"You see all those garbage trucks? That's where I live now. They took my life...all my clothes, my four-man tent and mattress, all of my books and three years of drawings."

That's no way to go through life, son.

veale728: Bloomberg said the city planned to let the anti-greed movement return to Zuccotti as soon as it was cleaned, but without the trappings of the tent city.

"Unfortunately, the park was becoming a place where people came not to protest, but rather to break laws, and in some cases, to harm others," he said in a statement.

Bullshiat. The classic "we're doing it for their protection" excuse.

OK, breathe.

There is no camp ground or other housing concept in the US that would allow the living standards that OWS has adopted. Even refugee camps in Africa have safer and more sanitary facilities.

Meet each day in the morning somewhere and protest all you want, then go home. Come back the next day and do it again.....repeat.

This isn't Burning Man

Apparently, most people are ok with cops tear gassing them, beating them, and destroying their property. They don't consider that it might be them protesting the next time. Americans had a right to complain. It kept us free.

topcon: I'm going to guess the owner of the property is going to get tired of it sooner or later, and they CAN make them leave. Or maybe they won't. I don't care either way.

Most of those parks downtown were a requirement of letting the developer build there. You want to put up a 50 story skyscraper, fine, you can, but you have to provide an open park that you maintain.

The developers are about to find out that when you create a public park, you've created a public park.

Well... Hi.
