I think it is about time to move on. Can't blame Mellon. They have been very kind to allow it so long.

I hope nothing happens here like in other cities when they were kicked out of their parks.

I get that they have to make a statement, but really, how long do they plan on making thier statement? How long did they expect Mellon would let them stay.

I just hope that they move on peacefully.

I am not suprised though. Everyone else across the country (and world?) is asking Occupy to move on.

It would be a feather in the cap for the city if the Occupy people leave in an orderly manner without a big fuss.

Particularly in contrast to some of the other cities like New York, Oakland and LA where there was real civil unrest when the camps were broken up there.

It would be signal to employers that Pittsburgh is a friendly, respectable town that they might want to move to.

All of the Occupy movements may have more to worry about than a pepper spray bath if the National Defense Authorization Act gets signed into law.....

These people really should be occupying wall street, the white house, etc..however its their right to assemble in a peaceful manner, even if I do not agree, its their right as long as they are peaceful, lets remember that.
