14 protesters sitting around Zuccotti ParkNEW 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.
Bums sleeping in the park overnight.
That’s politically incorrect - they’re activists, damnit!
The OWSers have a constitutional right to inconvenience the 99% they claim to champion.
“A handful of protesters are also at a nearby McDonald’s resting their heads on a table taking a nap.”
Eeewww....and they have lice,too. Does any bum get to go to Mickey D’s for a nap on their tables, or just these unemployed university-graduate bums?
The politicians are actually trying to save these people. They know that when the real winter weather hits that they’ll just gradually drift away. By forcing them to go home now, they hope to have them come back in the spring.
