Around 11 a.m., hundreds of protesters streamed into Zuccotti Park, shoving aside barricades and flowing into the granite expanse that they had been ousted from on Tuesday. They chanted “our park” and lifted barricades in the air near Cedar Street…A line of police officers wielding batons pushed into the crowd near Cedar Street, but after a moment those officers were directed backward by Joseph J. Esposito, the chief of the department. But before Chief Esposito directed the police back, several officers could be seen shoving and punching protesters and journalists. [CityRoom]

    Haven't I told you everything you need to know on how not to get your ass beat by the police? Granted, I may have educated your older siblings, but really, OWS; haven't you heard of YouTube?

    Soon they should consider using water cannons – then can use the park as a skating rink. win win

    What's wrong with a little "horsing around"?

    "Our park"? Maybe they should have sodomized someone.

    I beg to differ.

    Why do they love that park so much? Is it true that most of the trees in the park have AIDS now?

    so ironic that "History repeats itself, Try and you’ll succeed" is the OWS motto.

    All of these shenanigans are detracting attention away from the new Kardashian fiction, Dollhouse, which hit bookstores yesterday. In this addictive novel, nothing is more important to the Rameros than family. Just ask Kamille, Kassidy, and Kyle—three beautiful, loving, and deeply loyal sisters who are the heart and soul of their family. Their mother has remarried and their new stepfather, a world-famous all-star baseball player, has come complete with two stepsiblings. Life in L.A. is pretty typical for this newly blended clan.

    Do we know for sure there was no sodomy down in them there tents? I am pretty sure when I walked by a few weeks ago I could over hear several grunts emanating from the vicinity.

    "several officers could be seen shoving and punching protesters and journalists"

    pictures or this awesomeness didn't happen.

    Too bad this isn't happening in Texas, where the owners of Zuccotti could now legally shoot these people

    Actually, we gave us a loan, then paid us back – with interest.

    Wandering around a city you don't know looking for a place to plant your tent pole while being chased by cops is the nki.
