Step 1: Mayor Michael Bloomberg: “They can stay there as long as they want to. I believe in free speech.”
Step 2: Brookfield: “We need to clear out the protestors one section at a time, in order to clean.”
Step 3: Police Commissioner Ray Kelly: “Protestors that are gone in order for the city to clean are not allowed to move their sleeping bags and possessions back to Zuccotti Park.”
I knew as soon as Bloomberg said step one, step three would follow. Fuck you Bloomberg. In the ear. Guess what? They may sleep elsewhere, but they’ll be back, every fucking day.
