The cops came in and the Occupiers were kicked out of their little hell hole on earth as the Occupy Wall Street were kicked out of public park they stole.
From Fox News: Police arrested 70 protesters at New York's Zuccotti Park early Tuesday, including some who chained themselves together, while clearing the park so that sanitation crews could clean it.
The officers arrived just after midnight and handed out letters to protesters ordering them to temporarily evacuate the park. Campers were told to remove their tents and all their belongings, the New York Post reported.
The eviction letters declared, "The city has determined that the continued occupation of Zuccotti Park poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard.
"We also require that you immediately leave the park on a temporary basis so it can be cleared and restored for its intended use.
"You will be allowed to return to the park in several hours, when this work is complete. If you decide to return, you will not be permitted to bring tents, sleeping bags, tarps and similar materials with you."
A man who identified himself as a New York Police Department captain used a bullhorn to order people out of the park, saying repeatedly that a temporary evacuation was necessary to dismantle illegal structures that presented a fire hazard, The Wall Street Journal reported.
At least 400 police officers stood around all sides of the park, where dozens of people remained in place. Public buses operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority were seen pulling up to the site, which has been the center of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement for nearly two months.

These thugs should not be allowed to return. They have cost taxpayers millions of dollars in police overtime, cost people their jobs and threatened the livelihood of business owners. the neighborhood became almost unlivable. Further, it was a dangerous place as assaults and drug use were taking place.
Hopefully, Mayor Bloomberg will have a backbone this time and keep this thugs out, but I doubt it.
