A judge has ordered protesters be allowed back in the park with their belongings.

Another hearing will be held at 11:30 regarding the decision.The following is from a press release delivered by attorneys for the Occupy Wall Street movement.We spoke with one of the attorneys, Yetta Kurland. She told us that the team of lawyers put together cause in a matter of hours and that they're "confident the Court will uphold the Judge's ruling. We have the law, and we have public opinion on our side."
​
Earlier, at approximately 1 AM, the NYPD began amassing around Zuccotti Park "aka Liberty Park." In the following hours reports surfaced that the NYPD entered the park with police in riot gear backed up by numerous police vehicles, including a bulldozer, evicting occupiers. In the process they destroyed property and arrested dozens of occupiers and protestors including NYC Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez and District Leader Paul Newell.

I think Bloomberg should give permits to some other group to bogart that area for as long as they like after kicking out the OWS group. I bet if you were to ask everyone one of these OWS about second amendment rights they would most like agree with every anti-2d amendment laws on the book regardless of the fact the 2nd amendment says shall not infringe, but for some reason they think the first amendment allows them to take over and bogart an area for as long as they like.

It's not in level of importance. The 2nd is just as important as the 1st and the 3rd and the 4th and the 5th and the 6th and the 7th........
 
Ny judges have most always ruled like this on protests...the mayor knows that but he is stuck between a rock and hard place...hes said that after the park is cleaned the OWS can return...where he differs from the judge he says no tents or sleeping bags ...

Yes, but the Courts have ruled. He is free to say "no tents or sleeping bags", but he has no proper authority by which to enforce that if the Courts say "yes tents and sleeping bags".

I'm fairly liberal and a second amendment supporter. I think you'd be really surprised just how many "second amendment liberals" there actually are.

Ok Jamersage, go down there and take a survey and come back with your results.... :roll:
 
I like mine better:

A New York court has ruled that a pre-dawn police raid on the Occupy Wall Street camp at Zuccotti Park was legal.

The ruling means protesters will remain barred from setting up tents and sleeping in the park, although New York officials say protest will be allowed.

This one's not bad either...

Hours after New York officials raided Zuccotti Park, emptying it of the nation’s first Occupy Wall Street protest camp, a New York judge ruled in favor of the city and said that protesters may not return to the area with their tents.

The ruling was handed down by State Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman. The judge held that the city could indeed block protesters from returning to their full-time protest, which included tents and generators, and that the public should be able to use the site.
