NEW YORK — The small Manhattan square occupied by anti-Wall Street protestors for almost four weeks will be temporarily cleared for cleaning on Friday, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. Bloomberg went to the protest site, where several hundred people are camped out, to explain the move, which would be the first time the demonstrators are asked to leave, the mayor’s office said. Bloomberg said the owners of the plaza wanted to exercise their duty in cleaning it — and that this was their right, although protestors would be allowed back immediately. “Mayor Bloomberg went to Zuccotti Park to talk with the protesters himself and inform them that on Friday morning Brookfield Properties will clean the park,” a statement from deputy mayor for operations Cas Holloway said. “Brookfield has expressed concern about its inability to clean the park and maintain it in a condition fit for public use,” Holloway said. Saying that the mayor was a “strong believer” in the right to free speech, Holloway added: “At the same time, the last three weeks have created unsanitary conditions and considerable wear and tear on the park. This situation is not in the best interests of the protesters, residents or the city.” It was not clear whether this signaled an attempt by the city to clear out the protest, which is being held in a privately owned plaza that the owners are obliged to make available to the public. Holloway promised “protesters will be able to return to the areas that have been cleaned, provided they abide by the rules that Brookfield has established for the park.” Among new rules posted at the park are a ban on sleeping bags and other camping paraphernalia.

Just saw a breaking news piece saying the protestors are clashing with the police right now....
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Just saw a BN that the police had backed off.
But violence in the middle of the night, say, Sunday AM about 3 AM, is when this usually happens, is the State's Only option.
And of course Statetv will be nowhere around.
That will just encourage more of the same. Bloomy has made a spectacular mistake here. Just as every Democrat thats voiced support has.

That will just encourage more of the same. yes. yes, it will. And then the state will have to up the ante. See Tahrir Square, Egypt Military for details...;} Except this time the Talking Heads will find something else to talk about...;} The vid will be too graphic for Gated Community sensibilities...8D
Is that kind of like your prophecy that millions of people in Florida would die and have to be evacuated?
The other way around.

I'll need that LINK. And while waiting for lack of same....the state informed that there will be NO evacs in the US. You will be quarantined in place. Triage at the edges and around state media cameras where ignorance cannot be avoided. " In March of 2010, 56 dolphins washed ashore in the Gulf, compared to the seven-year average of 16 for the month. BP started drilling in Feb 2010. They had a lot of drilling problems reentering well A which had been left open (illegal to leak gas...both hydrocarbon and H2S) for 3 months since Transocean pulled out Marianas drilling rig from well A on 9 Nov 2009. BP was losing fantastic amount of drilling mud, which resurfaced back to the seafloor thru the well anulus and thru the fractures at the sides of the salt domes. By early March they were having serious problems with well B (the second well drilled) and similar gas from the Rigel gas reservoir was obvious seeping out in huge quantities. They had to plug the hole 750 ft above the problem interval .....a concession allowed by MMS despite the disastrous consequences. Well MMS was subservient to BP instead of Regulating BP. On or around 16 March 2010, BP spud the 3rd well and again the amount of drilling mud spilled is humongous. And to counter the gas all the way from 0 to 18,300ft bml, they had to keep the mud weight high. So where do you think the gases escaped to? We always look at the Gulf Disaster as starting from 20 April 2010. No it started way before BP even spud the well in 2009. If they were losing so much drilling mud, they should have stopped to think....but NO they kept driving even faster over the cliff. So it was no surprise the dolphins in the gulf started to die in abnormal numbers in March 2010. To me it makes perfect sense to link BP oil spill to the abnormal deaths of the dolphins."
Three VLCC's worth of crude at least. All of NALCO's annual antifreeze production, dumped in same. And there won't be any repercussions? LMFAO " The global designs of the neo-liberal agenda have met the living architecture of a larger order -- a portion of which has taken the form of a still coalescing, yet potent, countervailing consciousness, a global-wide Liberty Plaza of the mind -- an order that is not informed by corporate era public relations legerdemain, hyper-adrenaline media sound bites, rightwing emotional displacements, or "sensible" centrist platitudes -- but the type of order that begins to jell when the structures of an existing system lose touch with the realities of daily life."
The vid will be too graphic for Gated Community sensibilities...8D Zero chance of this happening. ZERO.
