The cleanup of a plaza in lower Manhattan where protesters have been camped out for a month was postponed early Friday, sending cheers up from a crowd that had feared the effort was merely a pretext to evict them.
Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said the owners of the private park, Brookfield Office Properties, had put off the cleaning, scheduled for 7 a.m. More than hour beforehand, supporters of the protesters had started streaming into the park, creating a crowd of several hundred chanting people.
A confrontation between police and protesters, who had vowed to stay put through civil disobedience, had been feared. Boisterous cheers floated up from the crowds as the announcement of the postponement circulated, and protesters began polling each other on whether to make an immediate march to Wall Street, a few blocks away.

“The other guy just blinked.”
Ridiculous!
Ask Daley for a hand... his daddy taught him how to handle these vermin. 1968 Chicago... that is what they need in NY.

Maybe they are writing a strongly worded letter.
This should keep many of the scum from outside activities there.

Too bad, they just empowered the rabble.
HOw do you see these people leaving? Fact is they won’t. They want to get arrested, they also have no where else to go. I love it. DOes anyone have any photos of garbage in contrast to the Tea Partiers?
WTH,they are taking the job of the UNION workers.
Anyone that manages to get fired from McDonald's doesn't need OWS for help.
fine, let them wallow in their filth
let them wallow in their own filth! the less pleasant their experience, the sooner they’ll all go back to their basements and garages
Smart move, let them fizzle in the rain and stink. Give them an excuse to make the news and it will grow. The occupiers are looking gross in their filth.
The mob is suppose to march on TS tomorrow.
And having the deputy mayor make the announcement, even more gutless.
No fear, nature is bringing in the big washdown equipment later today along with its new chilling effect on the protests. They will still start to enforce the camping, tents and sleeping bag rules.
Brookfield just got Umpteen Diddly dollars of DOE money for a solar boondoggle in New Hampshire...
Brookfield and Mayor Bloomberg have been bought and paid for, and have been supporting this DNC-connected protest since day one. They own the monster, because they created the monster.
When the shit hits the fan, as it most certainly will, Mayor Bloomberg will not be able to escape responsibility. Giving in to the mob like this will only make the eventual blow-up all the worse.
