With the cold weather coming on, those people need the generators for heat.  They aren't even using city power--gas and bio-diesel powered generators along with the fuel.

Status: offline 		They brought in bike powered generators....

Mayor Bloomberg has warned that the generators won’t be allowed back into the park, so a group of protesters have come up with a novel solution. New York City environmental action group, Time’s Up is looking for volunteers and funds to help power the protests with bike generators. According to the Time’s Up website, “We’ve received funding for 5 bikes but need at least 5 more, and any donations above that will be used to build more energy bikes which will be sent to other occupations.” The bikes are already being used in some park locations, but with the generators gone more are needed.

And why are states in those conditions?

Then stop it, there is no probably cause to bother these people. But surely PASNY was behind the generators disappearance. Every fucking conspiracy theorist knows that.

People will need batterise, here comes a check from Duracell or the city ! This is still a joke to the big people. They want it out of our system by election time, and they are going to let it go on. But they are going to antagonize becasue they are looking for people who won't take their shit.

Let's hope they find them too late. Like I said, (not in so many words) is that these people are not really hungry - yet.

I await new developments eagerly, but not stupid shit about the food. About people getting aware and really pissed, and show some fucking gonads. Guns, knives, rocks. What, you think there is a TSA station on the way to a fuckng protest ?

I am looking for trouble.

T^T

You called that a snit?

You really need a dictionary sweet cheeks.

Asking for a more reliable source considering the one you gave is known to liberally edit videos....

I can but why should I go looking for another article that will tell me the exact same thing.  Bloomberg went after the generators.  My question now is since when is it legal for the police to remove somebody's private property?

When there has been suspicion of a crime or a public safety issue.

quote:

The FDNY cited safety issues as their major concern about the generators.

"In a public space, in a park like that, none of it can happen," said Jim Long, a spokesman for the FDNY. "You can not have containers of fuel, gas, diesel, or generators."

If that's the plan, they'll need to bring the good free food back in a hurry, with lots and lots of carbs on the menu. People power is expensive.

Heartless? Whose idea was it to start this movement at the end of summer, anyway? How cold-hearted were the motherfucking recruiters, or did they just not understand that the weather tends to just get nastier as autumn turns to winter?

I will take up arms to ensure these people have the right to do what they are doing, but if somebody decides to take the Cartman approach, and throw a free metalfest concert next door, look for me in the mosh pit. They selected the terms of their protest. There is no law against woolen long underwear, electric socks and those dumbass looking fleece snowboarder hats.

I can't imagine anyone who would lose sleep about the piglets not sticking around for their periodic violations of human rights. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing them go back to actually enforcing laws which benefit society, and I'm not even involved in the protests.
