Either that or Captain Trips was going to percolate in the squatter camp and kill us all.

Bloomberg is sending in the NYPD Winged Hussars.

It is probably the best outcome for OWS. This was either going to fizzle out during the winter or be crushed by the police.
Being machine-gunned would probably be even better.  Maybe not for OWSers themselves, but for their cause.

I think it was only a matter of time, and in other cities as well. The NY movement folks were supposedly talking about blocking subways and other stuff for the 2 month anniversary. There's been trouble at the camps, local businesses and citizens are complaining about the loss of business and other problems. Eventually city officials would likely need to act.

Sounds like the Occupy movement is becoming a squatter's rebellion.

They all can come join those here in Montreal. There is not really any plan to kick them out.

There was never any problem with the Occupy Spokane group making a camp since they were too scared to spend the night in downtown Spokane.

Maybe this will inspire these hip youngsters to like, you know, maybe vote or something. :lmfao:

There hadn't been a plan to close them down here either...

Montreal barely can get anything done when they have a plan. No plan means winter is whats going to kick them out.

London's has carried on.  They observed Remembrance Sunday terribly well (no doubt to the annoyance of the Daily Mail) and still seem a pretty well-run group.  The City's trying to evict them again, I don't know how successful they'll be at St. Paul's without the Cathedral's support :mellow:

It would have been amazing.

Ok, I was little too sanguine about it, you're right.
