A 72 hour warning of what? That police would be in the area? They weren't do anything wrong. There is nothing illegal about joining hands around a tent in a park.
In fact, there certainly is.
Public property is for ALL the public.
Otherwise, I would move to Central Park and build a mansion right in the middle of it, hire a security force to keep people off my new property, and sue NYC for putting all those benches and sidewalks through my lot.

So, using your logic, every time a state or government allows an event to be held, put up a stage, allow markets etc, you can DEMAND that they be removed because it is public land for use by ALL.
Where are the Police enforcing this common use of public land for use by all citizens without any inconvenience when there's a state-sanctioned event taking place?

As I watch the footage from OWS arrest's around the country and am now watching Russian protests, I find the Russian police to be gentler on it's protesters than the American police. Yeah the former Soviet Union's cop's aren't as violent as American cops. Think about that one. PEACE.

The lawyers they conjoin stand up now stand up now
The lawyers they conjoin stand up now
To rescue they advise, such fury they devise, the devil in them lies
And hath blinded both their eyes
Stand up now, stand up now
The clergy they come in stand up now, stand up now
The clergy they come in stand up now
The clergy they come in and say it is a sin
That we should now begin our freedom for to win
Stand up now diggers all
'Gainst lawyers and 'gainst priests stand up now stand up now
'Gainst lawyers and 'gainst priests stand up now
For tyrants they are both, even flat against their oath
To grant us they are loathe free meat and drink and cloth
Stand up now diggers all
The club is all their law, stand up now stand up now
The club is all their law, stand up now
The club is all their law, to keep all men in awe
That they no vision saw to maintain such a law
Stand up now diggers all

I'm afraid it does have something to do with your Sun----but also things a little stranger... do not be afraid you will adapt. You always have.
Fortunately,
most of you should be desensitized enough through media entertainment to not totally freak out and have your fear kill you. Yeah the fear you say you don't have Not all the rulers are bad and they do legitimately care for you. But the ones that got a stranglehold on your good rulers, this planet, and this realm need to be intervened on.
Terms have already been made with the ones that still refuse to step down...as always defiant til the end.

Correct ... I don't believe it is. Most PTSD sufferers, unlike sociopaths, are not toxic people.
IMO, 'emotional injury/trauma' vs. 'emotional disorder' are very different. Most people with PTSD have empathy and a conscience, not all, but most ... usually, unless they have another mental illness along with the PTSD.
Many people with actual diagnosed emotional-mental disorders usually lack a conscience and/or empathy, (excluding Bi-Polar Disorder), such as those diagnosed with NPD or socio-pathology/psychopathy, as they lack regard for others ... to name one flaw of many.
Let's agree to disagree.edit on 8-12-2011 by Jana12 because: typo

Conversion disorder, neurological symptoms such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, where no neurological explanation is possible
Mental disorder, a psychological or behavioral pattern associated with distress or disability that occurs in an individual and is not a part of normal development or culture
Obsessive–compulsive disorder, an anxiety disorder characterized by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety
Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder, obsession with perfection, rules, and organization
Personality disorder, an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it
Psychopathy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Psychopath" redirects here. For other uses, see Psychopath (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Psychosis, Psychopathology, or Autistic Psychopathy.
Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/[1][2]) is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness.
Most PTSD sufferers, unlike sociopaths, are not toxic people.
In writing the Kentucky Resolutions, Jefferson warned that, "unless arrested at the threshold," the Alien and Sedition Acts would "necessarily drive these states into revolution and blood." Historian Ron Chernow says of this "he wasn't calling for peaceful protests or civil disobedience: he was calling for outright rebellion, if needed, against the federal government of which he was vice president."

Hold on a second...because there's another side to this.
I read / heard that they were asked to leave quite a number of days earlier and refused. They were even offered a different place to camp out. They refused.
Listen, okay, because it's important to hear both sides. If I were one of them, or any of them, I would have gotten up and gone to the other location. (Conditions apply, but you get it.) If they were told a week before to get out or else they would be arrested, then when the week goes by, if you're still there...when the LAPD comes back, are there any surprised faces out there?
I don't know what all the details were and the circumstances, but if they were given a choice of two places but refused to move to another place after a week, the police will act to remove you. How they went about it is wrong, but I don't know the slightest thing about how that all works when it comes to arresting a crowd. Maybe ask a bunch of prostitutes what it's like, and they'll have an accurate perspective to share.
This is why I find it important to hear both sides. I doubt I would have heard what I did earlier on ats. If anyone can correct me, great. I'd like to know more details. Just don't expect me to feel bad for people who refuse to move when asked to and given a week to do so.
