The sad part is that the park is across the street from the World Trade Center site and tourists who used the park to relax now only see piles of garbage and the odd ball kooks of the City. A real good image for them to bring home and tell their friends.
Plenty of flights out of Tampa that would take you to NYC so you could see it for yourself so you would not look like such a fool repeating the lies you are seeing on TV.

I hope the owners of the park send a huge bill for the cleanup to the city for allowing it to be trashed.

Thumbs up OWS NY Protesters Asked To Leave For Park Cleanup, They Instead Clean It Themselves

So much for all the right wing propaganda against the OWS protestors. NY mayor Bloomberg asked the protestors to vacate zuccotti park by this morning so they could clean it, but the protesters instead stayed up all night cleaning it themselves. From the protestors showing their respect for the park, he has allowed them to stay

This is probably the first time most of these hippies have ever done a legitimate days work. Tomorrow they will sue for union wages.

I think it is funny.... it only happened AFTER they were threatened to be removed so the place can be cleaned... seems like what kids would do after parents threaten them about cleaning up their room... there is a difference about doing it by yourself and being threatened to do it....
