NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge has upheld the city's dismantling of the Occupy Wall Street encampment, saying that the protesters' first amendment rights don't entitle them to camp out indefinitely in the plaza.

Supreme Court Justice Michael Stallman on Tuesday denied a motion by the demonstrators seeking to be allowed back into the park with their tents and sleeping bags.
Police cleared out the protesters in a nighttime sweep early Tuesday. The judge upheld the city's effective eviction of the protesters after an emergency appeal by the National Lawyers Guild.
The protesters have been camped out in privately owned Zuccotti Park since mid-September. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he ordered the sweep because health and safety conditions and become "intolerable" in the crowded plaza.
After the ruling came down, protesters were allowed to reenter the park, albeit without any bulky items or large backpacks. Even with the restrictions, however, the mood among the protesters was reportedly jubilant.

Dorli Rainey, the 84-year-old, pictured in the photo below, has been an activist since the 1960s and even ran for mayor of Seattle in 2009, according to the Atlantic Wire. She ultimately dropped out of the race saying, "I am old and should learn to be old, stay home, watch TV and sit still."

Keith Olbermann has been a devoted supporter of the Occupy movement, so it was not surprising that he took issue with Bloomberg's decision to clear the encampment in Lower Manhattan, arresting hundreds in the process.

Dozens of college students from around Northern California crammed into a branch of the Bank of America as part of an afternoon protest march through downtown San Francisco today and chanted "shame, shame" as about 100 of them were arrested over more than two hours.
The protesters denounced University of California regents, calling them rich people who are callous to the economic woes of public higher education.

HuffPost's Jason Cherkis reports:
Gov. Nikki Haley ordered the organization's removal from the capitol grounds this afternoon. Nineteen Occupy Columbia members were arrested for refusing to leave the space. HuffPost reached Jessica Smith, 29, an Occupy Columbia member who has lived at the now-defunct encampment basically since it started up. Tonight, though, she is at home.
"We have a contingency plan," Smith says. The plan: Occupy Columbia is possibly moving to Veterans Memorial Park. "That's what I'm hoping for." She thinks they can set up tents there.
Smith admits that she will miss her old spot. "We just really loved the fact that we were on the statehouse grounds," she says.

The Partnership for Civil Justice sent out a press release this evening announcing the Freedom of Information Act Request which focuses on confirming whether or not federal agencies coordinated the recent sweeps of various occupy encampments. It states:
The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) and the National Lawyers Guild Mass Defense Committee filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests today with the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the National Park Service (NPS) requesting that the agencies release information that they possess related to the involvement of federal agencies in the planning of a coordinated law enforcement crackdown that has taken places in multiple cities against the Occupy Movement in recent days and weeks.
The FOIA to the various federal law enforcement agencies states: “This request specifically encompasses disclosure of any documents or information pertaining to federal coordination of, or advice or consultation regarding, the police response to the Occupy movement, protests or encampments.”
The Occupy Movement has been confronted by a nearly simultaneous effort by local governments and local police agencies to evict and break up encampments in cities and towns throughout the country. It is now known that mayors and other local officials have met together on conference calls in recent weeks and developed a coordinated strategy to dislodge and break up the encampments using common talking points including a public pretextual rationale to justify police action.
Mara Veheyden-Hilliard, Executive Director of the Partnership for Civil Justice and the co-chair of the National Lawyers Guild’s National Mass Defense Committee, states: “The severe crackdown on the occupation movement appears to be part of a national strategy to crush the movement. This multi-jurisdictional coordination shows that the crackdown is supremely political."
According to the State, 19 members of Occupy Columbia were arrested this evening after Gov. Nikki Haley has refused to allow protests to continue on the capitol grounds beyond 6 p.m.:
Haley's press secretary issued a public letter quoting Haley as saying, "This is America. Anyone is free to protest about anything they want. I encourage people to find and use the power of their voices just as much when I do not agree with those voices as when I do agree with them."If these folks want to make their voices heard in an appropriate way, they can have at it. But it has to be done within the bounds of the law. They are not going to be allowed to disrespect the taxpayers or their property. No overnight stays on the taxpayer dime. No public urination. No destruction of property. This is not Oakland, California. This is not New York City. Protests are fine. But in South Carolina we believe in the rule of law, and the people of this state should never doubt that as governor, I will enforce it.”
Occupy Columbia protesters have been on the State House grounds since Oct. 15, usually numbering less than 100.
A mix of men and women of all ages, they said they were expressing solidarity with protests in New York City and other cities around the country. They opposed what they said was the concentration of wealth in a relatively few hands, corporate greed and the influence of big money in politics. In countries like Tunesia and Egypt, mass protests – far larger than the Occupy Wall Street movement – have toppled governments.

Violent protests erupted outside of the California State University Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday in Long Beach, where the board members voted 9 to 6 in favor of increasing annual tuition by 9%.
The violence occurred as police officers tried to close doors on protestors to keep them outside of the building. According to the Associated Press, "Demonstrators tried to keep the glass doors open and one finally shattered, cutting an officer's arm. It appeared that pepper spray was used because a choking vapor filled the air. Three people were quickly taken into custody."
The tuition increase is the ninth increase in nine years, and it leaves annual tuition at just under $6,000. Students, protestors and members of the group ReFund California, which largely planned the Long Beach protest, say this makes public higher education unaffordable to many Californians.

As reported by HuffPost, New York Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez was arrested during Tuesday's raid on Zuccotti Park Tuesday.
At a press conference Wednesday, Rodriguez addressed what happened for the first time. He said he tried to identify himself as police officers pushed him back with batons.
"They kept pushing," Rodriguez said. 'The force was so strong when they were pushing me. Then suddenly a police officer jumped from the middle of the street. He threw his body in front of me and started hitting my head on the street. ... I was assaulted by NY police officers."That's a different account than the complaint filed in court against him by New York police. The complaint alleges Rodriguez walked up to metal barriers on the southeast corner of Maiden Lane and Broadway and declared he was going to go through. When an officer told him he could not proceed, he said he would anyway, and made contact with a female police officer--knocking her of balance.
An attorney for Rodriguez said "The criminal complaint is a fiction."
Jumaane D. Williams, a fellow councilmember, told HuffPost the events Tuesday were "disgusting."
"We as a country and as a society have supported protests, multiple protests, halfway around the world," Williams said, pointing out that some of them were violent while insisting New York remained peaceful. "We never once asked the question, 'Are they on public property when they're protesting?'"
Williams chastised New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for the events that transpired.
"He's going to be associated with squashing a democratic voice," Williams said. "Thank god that you can't arrest a spirit and your can't arrest a movement."Rodriguez was not permitted to speak with legal representatives for 13 hours as police detained him Tuesday. It was reported he was bleeding from his head and on Wednesday he had a visibly bruised left eye.
Rodriguez also said he was left in a van alone for two hours. "Those are troubling, troubling questions, which we in the council, but more importantly, we as New Yorkers deserve to get answers to," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said, referring to her attempts to find out from NYPD why Rodriguez was treated in that manner.Other NYC Councilmembers told HuffPost they received absolutely no warning from the city that the eviction would happen.

While driving downtown after the night's police raid on Occupy Denver, [Daniel Garcia] chose to publicly support the group by honking his horn. This, he would quickly learn, is technically illegal. Thanks to "either two or three honks," he says, Garcia was pulled over and ticketed by a police officer near 14th Street.
"A cop asked me if I was responding to an emergency situation, and I said no," Garcia says. "He asked me why I was honking, and I said I was supporting Occupy Denver. He told me there's a city ordinance against honking outside of an emergency situation and then stepped aside to search my car and trunk."

Occupy Columbia, whose camp is located on the grounds of South Carolina's state capitol, has had very little if any conflict with law enforcement or government officials. The encampment's members had listened to authorities, making sure to keep their area clean and rotate where they set up their tents. HuffPost visited the site last week as part of a film project and found the space well organized.
But that hasn't stopped Gov. Nikki Haley from apparently threatening to evict the activists. She has scheduled a Wednesday afternoon press conference, where Occupy members suspect that she will announce her intentions to evict the group tonight. Melissa Harmon, a member of Occupy Columbia, says that they held an emergency general assembly to address the situation. "We have pretty good plans in place," she tells HuffPost. "We figured we can't control what they do. We can only control what we do."
Harmon says no matter what she is not leaving the site. "I have no intention of leaving," Harmon explains. "Even if the eviction notice comes, I do not plan to leave."
"I know some individuals that plan to rotate across the street and some some individuals like me who plan to stay on site. We came here to express our first amendment rights...and don't plan to walk away from our right of the first amendment," Harmon says.

Around 7 a.m., I saw a young girl waking up. She was sleeping on the bare ground using a bag of her clothing as a pillow. I heard her conversation in fragments. She started to speak to the person next to her and I heard the word: revolution. I moved closer to her. She was asking in a concerned voice if her friend had been arrested.
Suddenly the protesters in the park turned their heads responding to a "mic check." Someone yelled "two minutes to GA." Roughly 150 protesters quickly gathered for the General Assembly.
One of the speakers announced that bagels, bananas, coffee and juice were available for protesters. Shortly after, the speaker declared a plan of action: take back Zuccotti Park. And the crowd started to move.
As the protesters walked south toward City Hall, a man in his early 30s behind me shouted "Shame on Bloomberg!" Then the crowd behind me started to chant "We are unstoppable! Another world is possible!"
Roughly 50 cops stood on the road, making sure that no one left the sidewalk. As I reached Canal Street, I saw three helicopters hovering over. A man started to scream at the police. He was angry because one of the officers had apparently touched him.
When we reached Grand Street and Sixth Avenue, the pace of the march slowed. People gathered and someone called for the now famous "mic check" to start a general assembly to decide whether they should occupy an empty lot on the other side of a wooden wall from where they were.
...
The group was fragmented, and some protesters decided to climb the wooden wall separating the crowd from the adjacent empty lot. The speaker said the space belonged to Trinity Church. Some protesters started to bring stepstools in an effort to scale the wall but the NYPD quickly stopped them. These protesters had a Plan B. They broke the lock of the fence and went inside the lot.

I attended the strike and day of action at UC Berkeley from 2:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday. Incidentally, the Haas School of Business - where there was a shooting Tuesday afternoon by a UCPD officer - was far from the hub of the evening's events at Sproul Plaza.
The day was filled with non-violent teach-ins, meetings and marches, culminating with a speech by UC professor and former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich. I would estimate the size of the crowd for Reich at 5000 or more. There were at least 2000 in attendance at the earlier General Assembly.
A spirited march arrived from Occupy Oakland, which further swelled the ranks at historic Sproul Plaza.

It looks like at some Occupy Wall Street protesters are taking their organizing efforts into a boring old office space, after the NYPD dismantled their camp early yesterday morning. Welcome to office hell, 99 percenters.
A greeter's desk, low ceilings—even cubicles grace what one Occupy Wall Street twitter feed is calling the Occupied Office. The unveiling of an actual office space comes as protest supporters are increasingly calling for the movement to use the raid as an opportunity to pivot into more goal-oriented political action. The office certainly looks like your average campaign headquarters.

The Crackdowns are obvious attempts by the Political Status quo to treat OWS as Insurgents and not the voice of the poeple !!! That means the voice of The People is being heard but not wanted !! Wake up Sheeple before your turn to be mugged is next !! 4 hours ago (10:20 PM)
They are NOT the voice of the people! The people are too busy trying to make a living and raising their families! The only thing being heard at OWS sites are drums and bidding war for drugs! And if you want to get mugged, go join the OWSers!
