Mayor Bloomberg has made numerous attempts to try and thwart the momentum of the OWS protesters but to no avail. He tried taking away their heat generators during the snowstorm and today ordered NYPD to clear out Zuccotti park for what was "maintenance" purposes. The message is clear: the people in power are scared. The movement is growing and despite efforts to discourage protesters, they've only made them more fired up. No one thought the protesters would last this long and this not only bothers Mayor Bloomberg but every politician whose city has been run down and taken over by Occupiers. Kudos to Bloomberg for keeping OWS relatively peaceful, unlike many of the unfortunate events that happened in Oakland, Atlanta, and now Seattle with stories of a child and a pregnant woman being pepper sprayed.
Politicians should be more focused on the message instead of finding ways to stop and in some instances harm the occupiers. No one is listening to the message and it's only growing because of that. The 99% has woken up and they're angry. When politicians, Washington, and CEOs decide to make note of that and actually listen, then will the peace return to their cities. Till then, the momentum will continue. The rage and frustration with politics and lousy business ethics is their fuel and it's not going on E anytime soon.
"This movement isn't dependent on a single location. It will find a home."
"They showed us their power. And we're showing them ours"
