BREAKING: Judge Rules That Occupy Wall Street Protesters Cannot Return To Zuccotti Park With Tents And Overnight Gear

 

[Mello]

The constitutionality of protest permits has already been adjudicated: Cox v. New Hampshire 1941. Good luck overturning it.

"The obvious advantage of requiring application for a permit was noted as giving the public authorities notice in advance so as to afford opportunity for proper policing. And the court further observed that, in fixing time and place, the license served 'to prevent confusion by overlapping parades or processions, to secure convenient use of the streets by other travelers, and to minimize the risk of disorder'."

"If a municipality has authority to control the use of its public streets for parades or processions, as it undoubtedly has, it cannot be denied authority to give consideration, without unfair discrimination, to time, place and manner in relation to the other proper uses of the streets. We find it impossible to say that the limited authority conferred by the licensing provisions of the statute in question as thus construed by the state court contravened any constitutional right."

COX v. NEW HAMPSHIRE

Oh, I'm aware of that. The SC has chipped away at our freedoms since its inception. Doesn't make it the correct decision. And I'm also aware it won't be overturned. Too many people rely on the state and feel that the police protect them.

 

[Zeff]

Lies about safety and almost everyone that disagrees with the OWS folk are cheering the lies on. Somehow I find it's possible to even become more cynical about this country.

Here's the thing--the people cracking down on this protest aren't the wealthy or corporate America. The mayors of Atlanta and Oakland are both Democrats. Bloomberg is Independent (though he is wealthy). The police are unionized 99%ers. The fact that the crackdowns aren't coming from those that the protesters directly oppose, but those that they tend to affiliate with or allege to represent says a lot about the nature of the protests.

Seriously with this? After a hundred pages, you're still hung up on the, "Hold it, the mayors are DEMOCRATS" thing?Imbecile.

 

[Mello]

Mello, I assume you think it is a safe environment?

Can you explain the part of the park where they have volunteers to watch women sleep so they don't get raped?

I think it's as safe as any other group of people. There are scum out there. When they rape or otherwise hurt someone, they should be caught and punished. Those concerns do not override peoples' rights to assembly and free speech.

Are your concerns really about people's right to free speech and assemble OR the rights for a group to Live in and take over a Park?

I'm pretty sure many groups still apply for and get permits to assemble and speak all the time in NYC.

I can't believe more people don't see the potential here for a catastrophic result given the people from all walks that this attracted.

My concerns are genuine. Not sure why you set up the OR statement. Occupying this "park" is the method these people have chosen to be heard. I'm not doubting that NYC still approves permits and such. The fact that they require permits is a huge problem. Permits are about as clear of a restriction of free speech as I can think of and should be abolished immediately. As should most restrictions placed on protests.

No I don't see much potential for a catastrophic result. If that was the city's fear, they should take 90% of the cops and send them back to their normal duties. Let the remaining 10% enforce any meaningful laws that are broken.

You're a child.

I thought the bolded was an interesting point. I kind of agree with it. Why do you need a permit to assemble on public property?

1) If you're the Westboro Baptist Church so the popo can plan to protect your 1st amendment rights instead of letting someone kill you.2) To be able to accommodate multiple groups requesting the same time/place.

I'm sure there are many other reasons but those are a couple that come to mind quickly.

People should be responsible for their own actions. I have no problem with a group that actively antagonizing people from requesting police presence. They should pay for it, but that's fine. A city should not require people to get a permit to have a demonstration though. If two groups happen to meet in the same place, they need to deal with it. If they start fighting, then police should show up and enforce the law. Just like they would if public fighting broke out anywhere else.

Planning? Administration? Fairness? I would like to protest the NBA lockout this weekend at Zuccotti Park, however with the Occupiers there, my message was not being heard. Now I will have my time to have my voice heard in the location of my choosing.

Go protest it. If they try to forcefully remove you, call the cops.Also, on the location thing, I don't believe people should be able to go to go and occupy most private property. The NY folks were smart/lucky in picking Zuccotti since it's private in about name only and the legal issues around it are grey. If they had picked a public park they would have been beaten and removed long ago. That's a problem IMO.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

But Justice Michael Stallman later ruled in favor of New York city officials and Brookfield properties, owners and developers of the privately-owned park in Lower Manhattan.



The order does not prevent protesters from gathering in the park, but says their First Amendment rights not do include remaining there, "along with their tents, structures, generators, and other installations to the exclusion of the owner's reasonable rights and duties to maintain Zuccotti Park."

Nice insult, did the po-lice make you take a bath? Polling of the protesters has shown that they lean heavily Democratic. You people like to get all worked up about how the protesters are being treated by the authorities, well the 'authorities' skew left and their decrees are being enforced by unionized 99ers. So, #####ing about how they're treated by lefties and 99%ers does NOTHING to validate anything that these monkeys are arguing.

It just shows the truth. That our country's problems are due to both political parties. Yeah, a lot of people at these occupations still blindly think the Ds care about them or at least that the GOP is far more evil. Maybe this will be a teaching moment for some of them.

BREAKING: Judge Rules That Occupy Wall Street Protesters Cannot Return To Zuccotti Park With Tents And Overnight Gear

Not surprising. Turns out the judge the OWS people cherry picked to get an order this morning was a former ACLU lawyer:

Judge Lucy Billings, who signed Occupy Wall Street order, is an ACLU veteran

A different judge assigned to hear arguments on her order

BY Barbara Ross , Greg B. Smith & Tracy Connor

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Originally Published: Tuesday, November 15 2011, 10:03 AM

Updated: Tuesday, November 15 2011, 4:34 PM

When the cops raided Zuccotti Park, lawyers for Occupy Wall Street woke up a judge with a civil liberties background and asked for help.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Lucy Billings signed an early-morning order temporarily barring cops from keeping protesters and tents out of Zuccotti Park.

But within hours, she was off the case as court administrators chose a new judge — and excluded Billings’ name from the list of candidates.

Billings’ biography notes that before she became a judge in 1997, she spent three years as a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and also worked work community legal services.

“I have devoted my career to public service, especially the disadvantaged in desperate circumstances,” she wrote in a 2007 pre-election statement.

Lawyers for Occupy Wall Street phoned Billings after cops moved into Zuccotti Park early Tuesday, evicted the protesters and got rid of their tents and other camp equipment.

Asked why they called her first, protest lawyer Daniel Alterman wouldn’t say, remarking that he’s not a “gossip guy.”

This isn't a demonstration. They've moved in and taken over. I hope you'd agree that that wasn't our founding fathers intent......

Via Yuval Levin:

A Gallup poll published this month showed that only 21 percent of Americans consider themselves liberals. The rest of the country might well put up with liberals in power now and then, but not if the left insists on constantly reminding us why, to coin a phrase, we are the 79 percent.

Homeland Security working against peacefully assembled U.S. citizens. Guess it was inevitable.

Remember when people were freaking out over the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and all this other conveniently ready-to-go post-9/11 police state stuff, because it would obviously be just a matter of time before the whole apparatus was turned against non-Muslim Americans when they started getting complain-y about the social injustice and economic injustice and income inequality and endless recession and permanent unemployment? That day is now, and has been for some time. But it’s also now confirmed that it’s now, as some Justice Department official screwed up and admitted that the Department of Homeland Security coordinated the riot-cop raids on a dozen major #Occupy Wall Street demonstration camps nationwide yesterday and today. (Oh, and tonight, too: Seattle is being busted up by the riot cops right now, so be careful out there.)Rick Ellis of the Minneapolis edition of Examiner.com has this, based on a “background conversation” he had with a Justice Department official on Monday night:Over the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict “Occupy” protesters from city parks and other public spaces. As was the case in last night’s move in New York City, each of the police actions shares a number of characteristics. And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.According to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present.

Peaceful OWS protester charged with making terrorist threats-

A protester was arrested in Zuccotti Park Wednesday after he threatened to fire bomb the city — and his rant went viral on YouTube, police said.Nkrumah Tinsley, 29, was busted after cops saw a video of him claiming he would torch the city during Thursday’s mass protest posted online, police said.“On the 17th (of Nov.), we’re going to burn New York City to the f---ing ground,” an angry Tinsley told a crowd of demonstrators in the video posted on Tuesday.“In a few days, you’re going to see what a Molotov coctail can do to Macy’s.”When officers from the NYPD’s intelligence division saw the video, they immediately began working on trying to identify the raging man, police said.“We didn’t want him out there [Thursday\]. We wanted him in our custody,” said Paul Browne, top spokesman for the NYPD. “He was specific as to date, location and method for the fire bombing ...maybe it was just a rant, but we didn’t want to take that chance.”Cops later identified Tinsley at Zuccotti Park Wednesday and collared him about 5 p.m., police said. He was charged with making terroristic threats.

The NYPD (among others) stopped things from being peaceful quite some time ago.

Yeah, its hilarious that non-violent protestors are habitually pepper sprayed and beaten by badge-less police officers.

With ALL these people Shacking up in a park downtown I'm shocked that all we have is a few pepper spray incidents and a few people with injuries after being arrested after not following police orders....I'm no fan of the police but, really hats off to them for putting up with these Weenies for so long while protecting the rest of us non-violent non-Occupying respectful citizens....I'd expect many of these cops deserve medals of honor and promotions for their work.

no one cares and and those that do are pretty much of the "good riddance" mindset.The OWWhatevers were an aimless short lived blight and an embarrassment/disappointment to their forefathers history will be happy to forget.

The police should not be pepper spraying innocent people. I'm very confident that the vast majority of police do not do this.

Protesters should not threaten to firebomb Macy's. I'm very confident that the vast majority of protesters do not do this.

We are all victims of a bad habit that humanity has- to take the actions or behavior of a few and apply it to the many. No matter how many lessons we have demonstrating the terrible results of this, we continue to do it over and over and over. I'm no different in this regard than anyone else. I'm convinced this is the root cause of a great many of our problems in this world.
