About 20 minutes ago, I turned on the TV on NY1 to find footage of tables being picked up, people walking around, tents being moved, a police officer speaking contents off a flimsy piece of paper into a speakerphone, and an angry man pointing a finger to someone barely off screen. Mayor Bloomberg comes on and starts speaking of how "they" don't have the right to deny someone else the opinion of opposition or no position at all. As I continue to tune in, Bloomberg continues to speak of the situation of protestors being notified by police officers they had to remove their tarp, sleeping bags, and other personal belongings at 1 oclock this morning from Zuccatti Park. There was suspicion of people "defecating in alley ways" nearby and other incidents that he mentioned. However, this doesn't stop Occupy Wall Street from continuing their movement as a young woman from Occupy once told me. According to a recent post on their website today at 9 AM, (right on this hour!) the plan for Occupy Wall Street is to move to Canal and 6th Avenue. Unfortunately, for the 50 people who came back to Zuccatti Park at 8 o'clock this morning didn't get the memo and possibly are still waiting until they are allowed to go back in. And that will take a while since Bloomberg mentioned a judge whose name wasn't mentioned sent a court order to possibly stop the movement from using Zucatti Park. As for further notice, its not over.
