(((PICS))) Occupy Wall Street: Cleaning Up/Not Going Away!
Demonstrators with 'Occupy Wall Street' protest at Zuccotti Park start cleaning up their belongings October 13, 2011 the morning after Mayor Bloomberg gave a message to Occupy Wall Street protestors that the park needs to be cleaned. And protestors, signs, sleeping bags, and, need to temporarily vacate the premises while the park's property owner can go in with a cleaning crew starting Friday.

Hundreds of activists gathered a month ago in the Manhattan park two blocks from Wall Street to vent their anger at what they see as the excesses of New York financiers, whom they blame for the economic crisis that has struck countless ordinary Americans and reverberated across the global economy.

4. I can't say
I'm not there.

What I can say is that Zuccotti Park has an agreement with the city that it must be publicly accessible 24/7. Cleanup might be a temporary setback but if the park owners and NYC officials think this will make the protesters go away, they are greatly mistaken.

5. I think it could be a ruse, but still not a bad idea...
Let them clean the park and if there is a problem getting back then the protesters can gather outside of Bloomberg's office...

6. Its a scam and a lie to get the OWS out without a police riot
for the whole world to see. I highly doubt Bloomberg will ever let the 99% back in. I hope I'm wrong but time will tell.

However if thats the case, how about Central park?

8. Take a look at this picture of Victoria, Monica, Jason and Justin - from the early days of OWS!
Edited on Thu Oct-13-11 12:27 PM by 1776Forever
I loved listening to them in the 1st couple of weeks of the occupation. I miss them and wish them all the best as I haven't seen them on the link for awhile now! These are real heroes and heroines!

Blessings to them all:)

There is a new link for the OWS site they are live right now - Dwayne is on:
