Within about 20 minutes, police had torn down the approximately 50 tents that remained on the square. A front-end loader scooped up debris and junk from the camp was loaded into a garbage truck.
Love it ! If nothing else, Boston’s Finest are at least efficient.
Just why is this happening? I thought that the DIMs loved the OWS “protesters”? Just what happened...a mistake?
Mayors in the liberal OWS cities were told from the top to shut down this bunch of miscreants.
The mayors gladly obliged because it was costing the cities a lot of money (law enforcement, sanitation and loss of tourism).
The DBM got the message not to make a big deal of it. So the protests that were starting to be a big embarrassment to Democrats went into that good night with nary a whimper.
If they begin to materialize in the spring, they won’t even get off the ground before they’re shut down again. The thumb screws are in place now.
Last thing Democrats want is a bunch of civil unrest leading into the election. They’re already putting in place a ban on OWS groups near the Charlotte DNC convention next summer. I’m not sure how they’ll carry this off since a good many of the OWS protesters will be inside the hall. They’ll be the delegates.
