Trinity Church is cancelling its annual Halloween celebration.

A post on the church’s website says the “decision was made out of an abundance of caution as we continue to face safety issues arising from the sidewalk camp in front of Trinity Church.”

A group called “Occupy Trinity Wall Street Church” –which labels itself as “An action of Occupy Wall Street” – set up a makeshift camp on the sidewalk in front of the church.

The church said some 1,200 people attended last year’s Halloween celebration and that it’s been held for the last eight years.

“It’s a popular event for the community, but given the conditions… we felt it was not a safe environment,” Hanick said.

sounds like the church needs to ‘improve’ their sprinkle system

most people will stop ‘camping’ the 2nd day of soggy conditions

add cold and the fun escalates

1,200 people should hold a “Peoples March” right through this OWS campsite. Then celebrate Halloween by dunking the remaining idiots in water. The first baths they will have had in months.

Enough of this leftist mob thuggery. Time to clean out the stables. Gee, Obama said he’d create shovel-ready jobs. Taking out the Occupy Crap sounds like a job to me.
