Tell that to this guy:
“That was my home,” said Shane Stoops, 23, an occupier from Seattle who said he had been at Zuccotti since the dawn of the protest Sept. 17. “You see all those garbage trucks? That’s where I live now. They took my life, all my clothes, my four-man tent and mattress, all of my books and three years of drawings.”

Those guys, as you quote there, are the ones I do feel sorry for. They actually bought the line of crap the OW organizers/facilitators were feeding the masses to build headcounts in the parks. They believed them when they said they couldn't be thrown out at Zuccotti park and they had faith when informants inside NYPD and ESU always snuck a warning to the park to prevent what happened last night. Sadly...they believed the B.S. right into total loss and destruction. It breaks my heart to see how that ended for guys like that, because misplaced faith DID cost them what little bit they still had in life.
Now..... Will ONE DIME of that 500,000 Dollars or more be used to help replace ANYTHING for the followers who believed and got screwed to the pavement last night? Do we even need to ask that?? I don't. They'll get apologies..maybe..and they'll get very sincere looking expressions of solidarity and grief for their loss...but they won't get squat from the movement they've now lost everything in support of. Not one penny. Bet on it.
Now..... If the guy quoted above hadn't bellied up to the bar for his giant mug of Kool-Aid, it could fairly be said he dropped his life's belongings into a park and onto land that was never his to claim and NEVER his to camp in the first place. He lost everything by his own judgement and decision making process.....or lack there of. However, he did drink the Kool-aid and I DO blame those who poured his mug of it as much as I blame him for not using his own head on this.
The end result was inevitable and only a question of time. I figured Zuccotti would be among the last to fall...but fall it would and fall it must. Only a question of when. The timing is all I am shocked by..as was everyone else. (grin) The Cops ARE learning and changing fast. I'm truly impressed.
I hope you know that the Occupy (Martial Law) Movement is completely fake. Its funded by wall-street investors like George Soros and others through the Tide foundation.

You guys crack me up when you site Soros as your pet boogyman. I'll be perfectly blunt: I like George Soros. I think he's a swell guy. There are tons of people out there who will read your post and say "What's your point?"
The ones who are actually scared by the myth of Soros are people who only get their news from right-wing fear sites.

Anyways, your Newsbusters site sucks. All the links in the article are no good, except for advertisements, and the story sounds bogus.
I think Soros paid you, you like that?
EDIT: Next time, try and find something with substance before parroting these claims.
Watch out New York City. The Occupy anti-capitalist movement is preparing to serve a three-course meal of so-called direct action that apparently includes the blocking of subways and bridges as well as shutting down the stock market. The attempt to cause mass chaos, slated for Thursday, is tied to the Tides Center, the George Soros-financed group that funds far-left causes. Tides grantees have been helping to direct Occupy from the onset of the anti-Wall Street movement. Occupy Wall Street is currently holding "Direct Action Preparation and Training" courses today and tomorrow in downtown Manhattan to gear up for Thursday's round of riots.

When he was a kid and he was delivering summons to Jewish lawyers to report to camps. What those fringe sites don't tell you is that he was also warning those lawyers of what was really going down at the request of his father. His father was also an attorney so what those bubba-effect websites accuse him of doesn't even make sense nor are they based in anything close to reality.
George’s father changed the family name to something less Jewish-sounding (Soros). As a teenager George went to work for the Judenrat (the name is self explanatory). This was a council of Jewish collaborators set up by the Nazis to aide them in their extermination efforts.
Then his father found him an even better gig:
Theodore hatched a better plan for his son. He bribed a non-Jewish official at the agriculture ministry to let George live with him. George helped the official confiscate property from Jews. By collaborating with the Nazis, George survived the Holocaust. He turned on other Jews to spare himself.
Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes asked him that.
Was it difficult?
“Not at all,” Soros answered.
“No feeling of guilt?” asked Kroft.
“No,” said Soros. “There was no sense that I shouldn’t be there. If I wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt.”
That explains a lot about the man who almost single handedly funds the radical left.

Nothing you linked is from any legitimate news source; it was a blog. This is my point. The one real quote from it was asking him if he felt guilt but it was out of context after a blog entry that was fabricated by a paranoid Limbaugh fan.
There is nothing real to this made-up version of the story. Period. If you can find an AP source or something from his biography that can prove this fabrication, I'll reconsider my stance.
Blogs are not news...
