Police told protesters camping out in Civic Center Plaza that they must leave by midnight Thursday.

Assistant Chief Boyd Long held an open dialogue with the protestors at about 4:40 p.m. He said they must remove their tents and property and cannot bring them back.

“It is unlawful for any person to erect, place, allow to remain, construct, establish, plant or maintain any vegetation or object on any public street, alley, sidewalk, highway, or other public property or public right-of-way, except as otherwise provided by the Code,” the notice read.

“Those who refuse to comply with the above code will be subject to arrest.”

1. Seems like this is getting a little too organized.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

5. They haven't seen anything yet.

[Frank Coffin]

2. Protesters to police: Up yours

They are exercising their freedom to a peaceful assembly.

This will not bode well for the plutocracy at all.

[Frank Coffin]

3. Also, they haven't enforced the homeless laws in YEARS

and they chose to cherrypick the law to get rid of the protestors?

well, forget it. Won't fly. Civil disobedience is the law of the land now.

4. So we lost this round. Time to regroup and come back stronger than before.

6. The first amendment

says peaceful assembly and nothing about where and how!

[SoapBox]

7. The GOPBaggers and the 1% want this put down.

[tropicanarose]

8. No. We are peaceful protesters. It is our right to stand our ground. What in the world is going on?

[slackmaster]

16. A group paid the city for a permit to use the venue on Saturday afternoon

See reply #15 below.

9. Bas Tards.

10. Why doesn't

everyone just pack up and go home.

[bengalherder]

11. Why indeed. n/t

[No Elephants]

12. One by one, cities are saying the occupation has to end. Started wtih Boston, too, which

I find sad.

San Diego doesn't surprise me that much. To the contrary, I was surprised at first, when I read they were being tolerant. But Boston? Sad.

13. "Occupy San Diego SDPD BACKS OFF

FROM THE 12:00 AM DEADLINE!! VICTORY FOR OCCUPY SAN DIEGO!!"
From Occupy SD Facebook about an hour ago. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's true.

14. Heard on the radio this AM that there is another group scheduled to be there

and has a permit. Can anyone confirm that?

[slackmaster]

15. Yes, something called World Dance Tour 2011 has it booked on Saturday from 3 PM until midnight

17. Any clue if the demonstrators will yield to them?

[slackmaster]

18. The demonstrators will not have a realistic option to not leave.

If they try to hold their ground, it will get very ugly very fast. The SDPD is quite capable of deploying sufficient force to clear the plaza in a matter of minutes.
