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.

Where is Typhoid Mary when you need her?
Why aren't they throwing their doors open to the poor downtrodden 99%ers and offering them food, a hot shower and designer clothes?
Like I always say, if Liberals were really committed to their belief system, they would never lock their front doors.
They remind me of Chaz Bono. She wants to be a (fake) man, but she can't commit to changing her inny into an outie. Then again, she can't commit to Weight Watchers either.
Can you imagine what it will be like for the police who will have to go in there and lay hands on these “people”. They should get hazardous duty pay.
Put up a glass wall around them and make it like a zoo. People can pay 5 bucks to see the hippies and throw peanuts over the wall!
HINT: if you are going to take pictures of the protestors, take them face-on so that we can see what organizations their posters come from.
Yellow and Black are the Workers World Party front, ANSWER, or IAC.
RED is the COmmunist Party USA
Purple and Yellow, SEIU - old marxists
etc.
Yes, and they do try to entice people going by to join them, which increases the temptation to mess with them.
My standard response to the several "invitations" ("Come join us; you know you want to!") was "No thanks; I bathe daily."
I hope for yours and the others' sakes they get them out of there.
I could see frustration on some of the people in that area.
You made me snort Thunderhead IPA though my nose.

Democrats living in piss and shit, doing drugs and having sex out in the open. Great example to the world.
I know how we all feel about Rudy, but he wouldn’t of put up with this crap in his city.
*Put up a glass wall around them and make it like a zoo. People can pay 5 bucks to see the hippies and throw peanuts over the wall!*
And, just like in the monkey house, the inmates will throw crap back at you.

“Wall Street protesters vow to stay put”
Let’s wait and see how long they “stay put” when winter arrives and it’s 20 degrees in the park....

That is the problem with these guys, someone has always cleaned up for them.
“That is the problem with these guys, someone has always cleaned up for them.”
