This story wounds my heart with a monotonous languor.

Note to the mods - the NY Times is currently running this story under two titles...the first read:

"Jolted, Occupy Wall Street Protesters Face an Uncertain Future."

Then they changed that to:

"Ousted, Occupy Wall Street Protesters Face an Uncertain Future."

I guess the editors thought the word "Uncertain" was too grim for the cause.

So I ran it under it's current title:

"Jolted, Wall St. Protesters Face Challenge for Future"

The OWSers remind me of Sauron’s Orcs... a ravenous, fearsome, life-destroying force.

They’re looking for the One Ring to bind us and rule us all!

UPDATE:

14 protesters sitting around Zuccotti Park

NEW YORK — About a dozen Occupy Wall Street protesters are in Zuccotti Park, talking and trying to stay awake.

They are sitting on the park's marble benches, occasionally chanting "We are the 99 percent" and other protest slogans.

About 30 police officers are looking on.

A judge ruled Tuesday that the protesters could return to Zuccotti but could not set up camp.

Some of the overnight protesters are holding up signs.

One reads "Police, who do you protect really?" It's posted on the metal barricade that was erected around the park after the protesters were hauled out of the park during a police raid Tuesday.

A handful of protesters are also at a nearby McDonald's resting their heads on a table taking a nap.

"The mayor's office had made it very clear that they were hoping to talk with Occupy Wall Street to negotiate and have people to speak with," he said. "But there was no one empowered in any process in Occupy Wall Street to engage in that dialogue."

The mayor figured he would just negotiate with the anarchists, but found out that anarchists don't negotiate. Now when he sends the police union down to "negotiate", the anarchists are shocked and surprised (jolted).

Without Cops with Submachine Guns, Rooftop Snipers, and Barking Attack Dogs, this story is getting tiresome.
:-)

Wait. Forget the Attack Dogs. They might catch something from these (cough) 'people'.

Powerful klieg lights blinked on, illuminating about 220 protesters in tents and sleeping bags. The one-square-block plaza was as bright as day. But it was only 1 a.m.

Two-hundred twenty? Never in human history have so few layabouts and miscreants receved so much media coverage and adulation.

The challenge that these freeloaders should face is how to find a job and support themselves without looking for a handout. Get a job, pay your bills, meet your obligations under student loans and other debts. Be adults and not over-aged babies screaming for a bottle.

I'D LOVE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER.
Too bad there isn't an airlock to send them out of.
