Protesters will resist any efforts to remove them from the Lower Manhattan park where they have been camped for nearly a month, despite Mayor Michael Bloomberg's order that they vacate the park at 7 a.m. Friday so it can be cleaned, an organizer said Thursday.
"Come tomorrow morning, we will passively resist and make it as difficult a process to remove us as possible," said Occupy Wall Street spokesman Tyler Combelic. "It's not an occupation if you can't occupy the park."
His words appeared to be backed up by the sentiment of the crowd of more than 1,000 protesters who filled Zuccotti Park Thursday night. "All day! All week! Occupy Wall Street!" they chanted.
Combelic called the mayor's announcement a "not-so-veiled attempt" to force protesters from the park, setting up a possible confrontation with authorities.
Protesters descended on the privately owned park near the New York Stock Exchange on September 17 to protest the nation's ailing economy.
"You want to clean up something? Clean up these crooks on Wall Street," said City Council Member Charles Barron.
Daniel Mintz of MoveOn.Org said he was planning to deliver to Bloomberg more than 350,000 petitions and signatures he received Thursday from supporters around the nation. "The mayor would do a lot better cleaning up Wall Street than cleaning up the plaza," he said.

I used to walk up from the Battery to my job near City Hall but I don’t now. I take the bus all the way because I don’t want to be tempted to engage them (I could lose my job for that). I can’t wait to be rid of them.
Tahrir Square, by the Arab Spring movement,” said Tyler Combelic, 27, a Web designer from Brooklyn who is a spokesman for the occupiers. “Enough is enough!”
So true.
But since it's those people, it's a reeking cesspool.
They would have planted some trees and started a herb garden!
Maybe soon enough they’ll create a new disease they can name that everyone can blame on them.
Well, the NY freeper board has always said the numbers were underwhelming.
Now it rained heavily last night and I’m still questioning whether anybody cleared out. The media is so bad they don’t even think to pursue this question.
yes, they are trying to distance, due to the disgusting images...
lol.
THESE people probably planted their own “herbs”....
In NYC and other liberal cities its legal for womyn to walk around topless.
Rikers could call Sheriff Joe and Bloomy can set-up tent city 50 miles east. Moonbats, Obama’s base.

“The mayor would do a lot better cleaning up Wall Street than cleaning up the plaza,” he said.
The problem with that ridiculous statement is that there’s little or nothing the Mayor of NYC can do to “clean up” Wall Street.
OTOH, it is the Mayor’s responsibility to make sure the city is safe, secure and clean. And if that means forcibly clearing (and cleaning) the park, so be it.
This situation has gone well past the normal “right to dissent” or “right to protest” phase. It is now approaching a health hazard - a legitimate health hazard.
is give fleas a chance...<<
Nope!I was gonna make fun...But......
You don't own that park.
Occupy the street.
I'll get the popcorn going.
Wall them in. Put razor wire atop the wall.
