Make Your Prediction on Occupy LA

What do you all think will happen with the LA protester campground....will they stay or will they go? And if they stay, will they be forced to leave, be arrested, pepper sprayed.....etc? Monday morning is the deadline and it looks like they are not going to cooperate

I would also like to know if you think they should be allowed to stay and camp indefinitely. If not, what would be the best strategy for removing them?

While I don't believe for a minute that large corporations give a rat's posterior about our well-being, I think this video is right on the mark about the OWS protesters. There's certainly a legitimate point regarding the greed of Wall Street firms and the lack of regulation of hedge funds, etc. having screwed us over. But the OWS "movement" has allowed itself to become a rabble of whiney, spoiled brats and local street people.

So what do you think will happen Monday morning....that is the question of the topic.

I believe this is going to get real nasty real quick. They have a right to protest peacefully, not interfer with day to day operations of the park etc. They do not have the right to set up camp etc. The things we hear about some of these camps makes it all that more important that they either protest within the law, or they go away. How they go away is thier choice.

I think it will be a mixed bag of all but the 2nd choice. Nobody is staying. Most will go to the pokey without resisting.

And as fast they carry them off to the pokey, more will come... And if the goons try to make the site unaccessible, another site will be found.

You can't arrest an idea...

Essentially What Photo-fish said, I predict that the people with any sense will heed the warning and leave before the deadline. A few will remain and have to be gassed and "harassed" by the police. Those who resist the gas and assistance from law enforcement to disembark will be arrested.

Maybe not, but you can take down the campground and make them deal with the elements.

But you can force them to obey the law... and/or arrest them. Works for me.
