3. are they going to have to give all the stuff back they took away in a garbage dumpster

12. In theory, yes.

I hope OWS sues the holy living fuck out of the NYPD and Bloomberg - make them pay for every piece of property they destroyed, every injury from every baton, tear-gas cannister, rubber bullet, etc.

Make this cost the fuckers millions!

6. too bad all their gear was trashed and hauled off illegally

oops.
guess we can't expect Bloomberg to compensate them for his heavy-handed fuck-up.

7. Right. I was thinking after reading Bloomberg's statement that "The law that created Zuccotti Park

required that it be open for the public to enjoy for passive recreation 24 hours a day. Ever since the occupation began, that law has not been complied with, as the park has been taken over by protesters, making it unavailable to anyone else," I was thinking, any time a person is taking up any space in a public park, no one else can occupy that space. For instance, if my family and I are taking up an entire bench in a park, then no-one else can sit on that bench. So, does that mean we can or will be "evicted"? I don't see that happening.

So, extrapolated to all of the people in Zucotti Park, they shouldn't be evicted either.

11. Small matter, done is done.

Mission accomplished.

13. The next step would be for the people to sue the police department for their belonging

the cracks on their heads etc. Police sometimes suck bigtime
