Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway filed a motion on behalf of the city today opposing a court order requiring the NYPD to allow Occupy Wall Street demonstrators back into Zuccotti Park. In filing the motion, Holloway asserted that "people who have a known history of violent interaction with the police” have been gathering in the park, and “makeshift items” that he said could be used as weapons, "such as cardboard tubes with metal pipes inside, had been observed among the occupiers' possessions." He also noted that after the October 1st Brooklyn Bridge march, "knives, mace and hypodermic needles were observed discarded on the roadway."

Yet another case of Occupy Wall Street protesters being portrayed as thugs and hoodlums. I personally believe that stories such as these are fabricated so that the ruling elite can take steps to create a police stae and implement martial law here in America and around the world.

I bet if the police department laid their weapons, pepper spray, rubber bullets etc down the protesters would do the same. After all, the Constitution says that our weapons are for defense against the government.

stockpiling wepons? where will the lies end?
