Occupy Wall Street Protesters Cleared From Zuccotti Park

The park has NOT been cleared and many protesters are not leaving. Police also are in the park! ABC News why are you publishing misleading information?

You are incorrect. Protesters did not refuse to take their possessions. They were not allowed to take their possessions. they were forced out of the park and were unable to take their things with them. I have seen video of many protesters asking to going back into the park to get their things and the cops refused.

America is already turning against these people and their tactics. Let them act up, if they riot or start destroying property it will be the complete end of any support they may of had left. Then the REAL 99% will occupy the polling booths and pay these people and their supporters back where it really counts.

I’m all for the 1st Amendment but these OWS people are a bunch of loons. They’re not the 99 percent. They’re leeches… leeching off the rest us who pay the bills of this country. As for the rich, so what. The top 10 percent of earners pay 70 percent of federal income taxes. Nearly half the population pay no federal income taxes. OWS protestors are nothing more than useful idiots for the the liberal left. That’s what they are.

Ocupy oakland is not a good thing for the nation
There saying that where all part of this poor 99% while the other 1% has all the money and the “99″% whats what there claiming to be the 1% has in terms of money thinking that everyone should be equal when the funny thing is most of that “99″% are on the well fare system simply because there to lazy to get a decent education and work full time. The “1″% though on the other had are the ones who have put in the time and effort to obtain a decent education and our among some of our nations best and brightest. The 1% that they talk about also as of right now pay about 33% of our nations taxes in addition to that there’s the trickle down effect these people of the “1″% almost always worked extremely hard to obtain or make successful companies which in turn they have to hire workers to help them run the company along with putting stocks and other such things in there companies allowing people who invest in the the chance to profit with there success. Most of the 99% that they talk about rely solely on our nations well -fare system and and rarely give back to the nation or the economy there the scorn of our country many don’t have jobs because they didn’t take to opertunety to get an education or where just plain to lazy to get one so that they could then earn money. The “99″% complain that they don’t have anything and in almost every case that’s there own dang faults the vast majority of this group are people who are to lazy to get out there and work to earn the money they got like the vast majority of the “1″% do. Most of the people who are protesting against these people who have alot of money are the kind of people who try to get by on life by doing as little as possible and trying to get all they can from the people who have actually worked hard for what they’ve got and achieved. These people are whining and moaning about being poor when its there own dang faults if they’d get of there butts and actually put in the time and effort they’d be well off. One of the worst things about this though is that the other day I was driving by the protesters when i saw them bringing there little children with them and the police where there but they couldn’t do anything when the people started getting a little out of had for fear of harming helpless children even if you don’t agree with what I’ve said above anybody with half a heart would agree that using children as a human shield’s in essence so you can get away with something you other wise wouldn’t is just wrong on so many levels… these protesters are the kind of people that society could do with out for the most part because they feed and suck of those who have worked hard to get what they’ve got and do very little themselves when they want something they complain and cause problems thinking that it’ll get them what they want when if they’ve put in a little effort they’d be so much better off.

It is your right as an American citizen to protest, the republicans haven’t taken away that right yet, or have they? Go kids go! Remember they are fighting for you!

Utter rubbish – 47% of the population may not pay income tax, but they make up for it in local state- county fees and taxes and don’t forget regressive state sales taxes-many of which can be deducted if you are wealthy and employ an army of tax accountants, and don’t forget those tax free off shore accounts in the Grand Caymans – Your defense of the wealthy technocratic class that creates nothing and hordes wealth is appalling.
Don’t forget the infamous words of Warren Buffet a man of means who said that his secretary paid more taxes than he did… You have to really stop listening to neo con spin and think for yourself .

Funny how you would listen to a man representing the top .0000001%. Do you just pick and choose which of the top percent you listen to, or simply those who you might believe? The man didn’t become a billionaire by giving away his money. Watch out who you partner with. Either the top 1% is digustingly rich (as in Buffets case) or they’re not. Buffet represents the epitomy of greed and you quote the man…..nice!

“”"”"”"”hordes wealth is appalling.”"”"”"”.

Posted by: steve

And you quote one of the richest men in the world! Is Buffet not apalling? He does represent hourdes of wealth.

It’s about flip’n time!! Too bad Bloomberg doesn’t have the knads to shut them down completely! I would love to see a violent uprising over this so that authorities could stomp all them leeching cockroaches!

“””””””Say what you want about the park dwellers – but they have a brain.””””””

Posted by: lexingtonlady

–the problem is there are thousands of demonstrators. That’s a bad ratio of brains to people.

The Occupy movement is here to stay. We will not bow down. Economic justice in America is way, way overdue. What kind of pie? OCCUPY!!!

“park’s owner Brookfield Properties “…….. So.. this is private property?? Someone owns it and allows the city to use it??

Has anyone figured out what they want yet? Ask 100 people there, get 50 different answers and 50 I don’t know’s.

According to the signs they hold, it is either communism, Marxism or anarchy.

The most intense and offensive forms of greed are envy and jealousy. It seems that this is what these miscreants have learned along the way to their Liberal Arts degrees in entitlement. The paradox lies in the fact that, should their dreams of anarchy on welfare come to past, these dirty little whiners would be the first to perish, still incapable of making it under any circumstances.

Make rules as we go along. The cooperate world and the mayor are simply embarrassed about what is going on. But, resisting the occupiers is a big mistake because it only strengthens the resolve of the protesters.

When it comes to love, age is nothing. So no matter how big the age difference. If you really love her, and also she has the same the feeling, everything goes easy. I met my older guy who is 25 years older than me at αgéMingle.Cóm and we enjoy this big age gap relationship. The big age gap love is really an extremely wonderful different romance.You may have a try. Good luck

Try the opposite: The real leaches are corporations who sucked up $700 billion of taxpayer’s money and rewarded themselves with bonuses for destroying the economy. Remember the the bailouts? That’s why citizens are angry

So much for the myth of freedom in America.

I think this is a great thing! You can protest during the day but your insatiable noise making at night has been keeping my kids awake! The park was meant to be enjoyed by the general public and my 2 year old has not been able to play there for 2 months. I say good riddens!

Then whine to the government as they have not stopped the Fannie and Freddie bonuses. The government put the money out there, complain to them. Seems to me if our government didn’t offer our tax dollars (or our credit), we wouldn’t be having this conversation. My point once again is these “protestors” do not have a solution, they simply whine about what they perceive as a problem. TARP, stimulus, Obamacare, QE1, QE2, Operation twist handed out money to all Wall St, banks and corporations. Hmm, maybe we should start looking at the current administrations policies.

They never should have been allowed to set up a camp in the first place. A homeless person would have been evicted immediately. The Tea Party never created a mess like that.

Commonsenseparty……..Who has the answer for any of us hard-working taxpayers that have had our 401K’s leveled, our property values in the toilet and decent jobs are almost non-existent? I am middle-aged and have worked my butt off to get what I have. It’s not much, but I am sick and tired of the government and wall street taking it away for no good reason other than greed. In a world where people will pay millions to get a select few government jobs, we have very serious issues.

OCMarsha – You do realize that investing your 401K in the stock market or real estate will always be subject to risk, don’t you? All of of lost money in the last few years, but that is the risk we take when we invest. If you don’t want to risk your investments, you need to change how you invest. No one “took” anything away from you. I do agree that government can and should address some of the shadier trading practices, but as long as they remain legal they will contine By the way, you complain about the greed of Wall Street, but did you ever stop to think that the “greed” is what leads to profit in the funds you have in your 401K?

Why the rights of these protesters trump the rights of the people who live and the business owners who are in the area? Businesses have lost money and have had to pay out for damages done to their business. People who llive in the area have to live with the stench and noise from the camp. Why was this allowed to go on for 2 months? They act like this campout = free speech. Guess what? You can voice your opinion without all this damage.

NoFlyZone2 | November 15, 2011, 9:22 am 9:22 am “Remember the the bailouts? That’s why citizens are angry” – You do realize that most of the bank bailout money was in the form of loans and has been paid back to the government with interest, don’t you? I agree that our politicians should have put strings attached to the bailout funds so that banks used them to reduce the bad debt on their books instead of paying bonuses and investing elsewhere but I blame Washington for that! I also blame Washington for not doing more to help the housing market crash. Yes, there were lots of people that bought houses outside of their means or refinanced to pull cash out for fancy cars and travel. There were also some folks that were ignorant and signed loans they didn’t understand or were outright misled by the lendors. Government could have required all lenders to accept an immediate reduction in the monthly payments to 30% of the person’s income while at the same time adding the deferred payments to the back end of the loan. This would have kept more people in their homes while not trying to change the interest rates or amoutn owed on these bad loans (which was seen, rightly so, as a penalty to those who were still making their payments on time).

Awsome……it’s about stinking time!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a full-time job.
I have always worked 40+ hours a week.
In fact, I have been working since I was 7 years old.
At times I have had 3-5 jobs in order to make ends meet.
I am educated.
I have a 4 year degree from one of the best universities in the country.

AND I AM A PART OF THE 99%.

Yes the top 10% may pay 70% of the taxes but they HOLD 90% of the wealth.
The 1% is not your everyday hardworking, tax paying American. The 1% are those that have raped our country and our people. They have collected amounts of wealth yearly that most of us will never make in our life time and they have done so by repressing labor, hurting the environment, and taking jobs away from AMERICANS in order to ship them overseas for essentially slave labor. The 1% does not include corporations/people that care about creating jobs and care about America. The 1% is about the companies/people that only want to turn a profit and would rather pay an 8 year old in China $2 a day to work a 16 hour day instead of an American. The 1% is about those that lie to us to make money, that cook the books to swindle investors, and that sell us products that cost them nothing but will cost us our lives.

It makes me sad to read the posts from all the people who think that they are above the protesters when in fact you are in the same boat as them. The difference is that they have accepted the truth and they are willing to stand up for our rights as human beings. There is nothing wrong with working hard and living well because of it but there is something gravely wrong with making others work hard so that you can hoard more wealth than you and your predecessors will ever be able to use.

And P.S., if the 1% were ACTUALLY generating jobs and the “trickle down effect” as some of you mentioned were ACTUALLY working and Americans were ACTUALLY making a little more than ends meet than no one would be complaining. If you look at the statistics from the Department of Labor you will see that there has been basically 0 job growth despite all of the bailouts we have given. The jobs that you see posted on job search websites are jobs that already existed before but someone either DIED, changed jobs, or were fired so that the employer could rehire at a lower pay.

class warfare is NOT what this country is all about, regardless of what “the clueless one” says. Go ahead and up the taxes on anyone making a million or more, before you can collect, they will all be “making” less than a million, they’re not that stupid

Jenny….I completely agree. I do believe the protestors need to take a different approach from the encampment that is going on now.

After 2 months what has OWS accomplished? IMO – Nothing. Do they really think the “1%” care that they are sitting in the parks, waving their signs? The only people affected by OWS are the local business owners..they lose money everyday becuase no one wants to attempt to venture through the chaos to get to their stores. The only people paying for this are the people..our tax dollars used to clean up the trash left by the protestors. All the while the “1%” go about with their lives completely untouched by ths cause. If these protestors are fighting for me (as has been stated by many) than lord help me…

The Occupiers are handing our government the reason to declare martial law. I’m just surprised they haven’t already. Blame the Occupiers, not the police. These rabble-rousers should only put as much effort into finding jobs and none of them would have the time or the inclination to spend months living in the streets.

@Jenny.. LOL, but the people “WE” elect allow them to do it. PLus, I hate to tell you, the Gov’t is the biggest one that does this, then they allow a private entity to delevope it. (that happens under Democrat and Republican Gov’ts). I know… I lost about 3 acres off the front of my property to widen the State Road, and I got this measely little check that is the value of maybe a half acre. That was not the 1%….. that was the State. Sorry.. Private property is private property. The State, nor anyone should have the right to trespass on it without your permission. When they can do it to one, they can do it to all.

Thank God Bloomberg finally took some action against these left wing commies. They not only
need to removed from Park but fingerprinted and photographed for future arrests

Push comes to shove and Now THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN. BLOOMBERG – you’re wrong, if you’re really just trying to clean up you should have said such, but you’re really trying to rid the city of
protesters. All of the world is watching. Now you’ve started something and something will NOW get done about Wallstreet. NOTHING HAPPENS TILL THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN. Peace never got the people anything. Keep on Keeping on 99%, the majority are on your side!

new world order

@Cor — here in California, the OWSers smashed the windows of Wells Fargo bank in downtown Oakland, and then, the very next day, set up an account and deposited a huge donation there because they said it was “easier” than finding a credit union they could access quickly. What hypocrites they are. Funny how when it’s they get a handout and they need easy access to it, Wells Fargo is fine, but if the average working stiff deposits their hard-earned pay check there, their the bad guys for supporting “corporate America”. This is what the world sees — they see the violence, the trashing of public property, the damage done to small business owners, the orders from the leaders to hide sexual attacks (Penn State, much…?), and those images show the OWSers for who they truly are.

NYSE building sits on a land that was never paid for — the family that the land belonged to got evicted and had to move to Canada. To this day, no rent has been paid on this building to the original owners. Greed and selfishness are at the core of Wall Street from its very foundation.

Couldn’t banks that were given the bail money (that they have never pay back) have the decency to refinance people with bad mortgages to the low FED interest rate of 4%? Guess banks need gov. to demand that they do the right thing by the people. Thus, the OWS is making an impact to open 99% of the population’s eyes to the inequity CAUSED by Wall Street “business.”

Who voted to bail out the banks? Who makes the laws that regulate business? Who approves the tax code? Most OWSers don’t have the sense to know who’s screwing them; this is just their protest du jour. Big business seems to do a fine job for its shareholders. Congress? Not so much.
