Judge Says Occupy Protesters Can Come Back And Bring Their Tents

why dont they all engage in a letter writing campaign since they are there.

you know 3000 people in each town writing a letter to washington and delivering it via fed ex

Police Commissioner Kelly said, "neither police nor executives from Brookfield Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park, have the authority to kick the protesters out at this point."

For the morons yelling about private property, etc. Notice the date?

think they can't stay the night though?

Right, they can come there, they can't live there.

You jumped the gun. It was quickly over turned.

Can you do me a favor and shoot me an email to rochard at gmail dot com plz?

If they pitch a tent, they'll occupy a jail cell.

The movants have not demonstrated that they have a First Amendment right to remain in Zuccotti Park, along with their tents, structures, generators, and other installations to the exclusion of the owner's reasonable rights and duties to maintain Zuccotti Park, or to the rights to public access of others who might wish to use the space safely. Neither have the applicants shown a right to a temporary restraining order that would restrict the City's enforcement of law so as to promote public health and safety.

Free speech is not an en masse right. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater and you can't trample other people's rights.

GOOD

Whether you agree or not with this "occupy whatever city" shit, things are not going to get any better. Once this "protest" (and I use the term loosely) ends; something else will start up.

I fear that every iteration of the protests to follow will become more confrontational - if not outright violent.

A staggering number of people are terrified of the future, and there are a lot of charismatic asshats willing - and able - to take advantage of those fears. Alas, there is currently no-one in power capable of assuaging the very fears they've helped propagate and nurture.

Although Democrats and Republicans may express their concerns in different ways, extremes on both sides draw their power from one source: Fear. A lot of people on this planet are bat-shit terrified. And its going to get a lot worse.

Argue about Right vs. Left all you want. It makes no difference. There is no-one in power who has the the ability to ease people's fears. There is no-one waiting in the wings with either the intelligence or drive needed to address the concerns of the people they so laughingly profess to serve.

Also, consider that I'm ignoring the rest of the world, which is pretty much imploding. Keep feeding worthless paper money into failing economies and everything will be peachy keen. That's the plan, right?

Your religious and political beliefs are now - or will very soon be - irrelevant. Hell in a handbasket. Enjoy the ride.

So does that mean I can go to where an Occupier lives and tent out on their lawn for as long as I want?

interesting

look into how those parks are zoned. some kind of private/public partnership. i think that is why the city doesn't know how to handle it at times.

Just wait until the first heavy snow in NYC.

Suckers.

Time to occupy a parking garage.

the whole reason there is a private park there is because they traded it to the city to bypass zoning for $$$

in a nutshell
a company says " hey city , can i build a huge building here ? "
city says " no , wrong zoning"
company says " ill give you half the property and build a park on it for the public"
city says " ok "

so if owner kicks people out , they void the contract and would have to demolish pricey highrise that violates zoning

Why deliver it by fedex? At very least support the local post office..

You do know there was already a pretty decent snow storm up here right? We had a fucking northeaster and they stayed.
