Demonstrators associated with Occupy Hartford met with city officials Tuesday afternoon in hope of keeping their tents up.

The tents were taken down on Tuesday morning because of code violations.

The city expressed concern of health and safety for those camped out and area dubbed as Turning Point Park.

Word came late Tuesday that the city has rescinded a previous order not allowing the tents in the park. Members of Occupy Hartford were excited to hear the news and re-pitched their tents for Tuesday night.

Hartford police said other than people smoking marijuana, there have been no issues with the group.

Occupy Hartford members said it will have to keep the discussion open with city council members to stay in the park longer.

They’re actually in the city of Hartford? They better watch their backs, they might catch some stray lead flying around.

If they were pro-life protestors the media would ignore them and the police would arrest them.

We've already had the rain in and around DC. Quite vigorous, and cold.

It's gone on North.

The prediction for Hartford is: "Night: Rain showers early will evolve into a more steady rain overnight. Low 56F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. "

"evolve" ~ that report said "evolve" ~ no doubt the OCCUPY WS Hartford crowd are all "Darwinists" so they'll love it that the cold rain storm is going to "evolve" right on top of them!

Chilluns these days hardly ever watch TV, not even the Weather Channel. They don't have a clue.

Laws do not apply to liberals.

After all - whatever they do, they do for others.

Must be a lot of "sick" people in their group. Gotta take their "meds".
