The Attempt To Evict Occupy Wall Street Has Only Made It Stronger

The Attempt To Evict Occupy Wall Street Has Only Made It Stronger: "After thousands of people turned out to help clean Liberty Plaza, New York City backed off their plan to evict the protesters, and learned that attempts to muscle the 99% only make them stronger.

Mayor Bloomberg announced his retreat via a statement from Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway, “Late last night, we received notice from the owners of Zuccotti Park – Brookfield Properties – that they are postponing their scheduled cleaning of the park, and for the time being withdrawing their request from earlier in the week for police assistance during their cleaning operation. Our position has been consistent throughout: the City’s role is to protect public health and safety, to enforce the law, and guarantee the rights of all New Yorkers. Brookfield believes they can work out an arrangement with the protesters that will ensure the park remains clean, safe, available for public use and that the situation is respectful of residents and businesses downtown, and we will continue to monitor the situation.”...."
