Occupy Wall Street Sign of the Day (Maybe my favorite sign of all time)




11:32 PM: So, it's 1:32 AM EST and Zuccotti Park has been subject to a surprise raid. Police in riot gear came in and surrounded the park. Occupiers were told to move all of their belongings from the park. Because the park is surrounded, no one can get in or out. Tuesday morning at 1:00 AM (which is when the raid started) was definitely chosen intentionally - my guess is that the numbers are probably at their lowest.

Arms linked, bandanas over their mouths in anticipation of tear gas, young man to the camera says "We will not be moved" and turns his friend and says "I love you." Friend nods.

3:06 AM (5:06 AM EST): Been watching entire time on live stream - entire encampment, 2 months of work, trashed. 200 or so determined to hold Liberty Plaza, apparently people are chained. So anyway, come watch on live stream.


Watch live streaming video from globalrevolution at livestream.com

3:25 AM: The park has been cleared - sanitation workers are cleaning and people will be allowed back in, but not with camping gear.

4:32 AM: Video of tear gas at kitchen at Zuccotti Park.

  1. Its starting to look like the attempt at eviction will only boomerang against Bloomberg, and recharge OWS. Zuccotti was running the risk of becoming a place for sleeping bags and an unwieldy, over-"processed" GA, as activists gradually moved off site. The park now seems to be reclaimed again as a public space for progressive political action! Yay!

  2. @pietro - yay indeed - someone mentioned that very thing on Ustream this morning - namely, that every time the movement starts to feel a little stagnant, the City comes in with an assist.

  3. Just got back from Zuccotti.There was a 10PM curfew in place but as of 9PM, the latest I heard from the GA, was that the park may remain open 24 hours if rules are obeyed, e.g., no sleeping bags, large duffle bags, or drums. I've got mixed thoughts...
