“•A meeting with McGinn and Occupy Seattle representatives to discuss long-term occupation
•Four large tents for a kitchen, supplies, medical tent, etc.
•Access to parking
•24-hour access to individual occupancy shelters
•24-hour access to the first level of City Hall for restrooms, meeting areas, etc.
•A written statement from the mayor confirming an indefinite occupancy at City Hall Plaza”
Or else what?!
This is EXTORTION!
Can you imagine if the Tea Party had done this or even hinted at it?!
Bring out the cops and send these bastards packing!
The mayor already offered them the use of the City Hall Plaza. That is more than enough, but he will no doubt cave in to some of the demands.
I admit that I’m a sucker when it comes to free speech. And I think if they can do it without disrupting others that is fine. So the city hall plaza might be a good place if they keep the chanting and disruptions down. And they arrange for their own sanitation (porta-potties, trash removal, etc.). And give them until 6 am this morning.
If not - clean their mess along with them with the fire hoses.
