Between 600-800 people at the occupy get-together. At midnight(eastern standard time) all the protesters are getting arrested and the movement is getting evicted.

Plenty of live feed links are available from this link.

Personally, I feel like a full riot will ensue. But I guess we'll have to wait another 70 minutes.

Please discuss and watch, maybe history will be made tonight.

Oh Jesus. This won't end good for anybody.

RIP Free Speech

Nothing about the first amendment has been violated. They're camping on property they don't have rights to.

Also, the original protesters left long, long ago.

Hopefully they won't be stupid twats and retaliate.

I wish I was a cop there. I'd abuse the fuck out of my authority.

The worst that would happen is a mass arrest. Maybe a few beatings. Nothing U.K. size.

55 minutes until the police have permission to arrest everyone on site.

Also, not all the original protestors left. My older brother is at Occupy Worcester and almost everyone at that movement is from the beginning.

Out of the 8 people I know who have been at the original OWS, none are left. 4 of them live in New York city. They said it's mostly bums and people with nothing to do over there.

Dam this is gonna be interesting,

600 to 800 people is still alot of power and more than capable of dragging more in.
Lets just hope that this isnt the start of something bigger for all our sakes

Free speech is not being trampled on. The police are simply moving away douchebags who have illegally squated/camped on places where they shouldn't have, and if the protesters start rioting, then the shit has offically hit the fan.

I don't care about your constitution or your amendments.

I believe that people should be allowed to protest if they aren't causing any harm, have they hurt anyone? Are they promoting hatrid or violance?

The screening i'm watching now is saying approx 750-800 people now, with more trains arriving within the next 30 minutes. They're expecting up to 900 protestors.

No and no.

Don't compare different occupy movements. Each one is unique.

I know no one who went to OWS, but I know quite a few people at Occupy Worcester and Occupy Boston and it's been fairly consistent at both.

Worcester is the second biggest city in MA, for anyone who didn't know. Boston is the biggest.

They do happen to be breaking public land laws. So no, they aren't hurting anyone. They are hurting the fact that the reason they have public land laws is so Neo-Nazi's and idiots like Westboro don't set up camp.

If they aren't hurting anyone, let them break those laws. The problem here is that Westboro and protesters like them use hate speech and are hurting people, it doesn't matter if they camp or not, those people are stupid, they get away with things that are much worse than breaking public land laws.

You let one group do it. you need to let all of them do it. That's how things work in the U.S.

Ok, I got a good chuckle out of that.

30 minutes until eviction.

Also, all the nay-sayers of this movement(in this thread, at least) are clearly misinformed individuals in regards to this movement, what it stands for, why it's important, etc.

Why should I not compare similar groups with the same goal? That's like saying I can't compare this group of feminists with that group of feminists. They're a unified group and each one shouldn't get special treatment.

How long until the death and destruction??

"THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED (x10)"
"WE, ARE, THE 99 PERCENT (x10)"

Lmao.

Because, different locations and different people.

That's like saying "Well, i've met a bunch of asshole metalheads in california, obviously there's a bunch of asshole metalheads in canada too - similar people with similar goals, AMIRITE?"

20 minutes now, maybe longer if the cops decide to cut the crowd some slack.

I think you're failing to see. This isn't just a group, it's a movement. Political groups get clumped together. There is no separating OWB and OWS. They're the same movement.

No, we should be cheering anyone the Republican Party happens to be at odds with, never considering actual flaws in their ideology. After all, two wrongs have always made a right. Affirmative action for blacks who aren't even descended from slaves came first; soon enough we'll have all rich people getting repetitive tax hikes because a few select corporations were in bed with the government (not that the government will get punished for it...)

5 more minutes...

Some occupiers got in a brawl with some anti-occupy hecklers.

Things are heating up, no police arrests though I don't think.

Just a bunch of people dancing to music, looks like a giant party to me.

Yeah... apparently the cops are standing around without any clue what to do. (I've been texting my friend whose there, I live in MA and whatnot)

I never guaranteed that violence and bloodshed would pursue.

Technically, it could still happen any minute...

According to fox news, approx. 1100 people there - maybe 200-250 cops.

So yeah, i'm going to keep watching.
