Judge rules no tents for protesters
Description
A court rules against Occupy Wall Street. A New York judge ruled the protesters cannot take tents and tarps when they return to a Lower Manhattan park.
After being evicted the night before, protesters tried to return to the park earlier Tuesday, but hit a wall of police while court appeals were being heard on the tent issue. Helmet-wearing, baton carrying police stood firm around the temporary barricades - and arrested a few who tried to shove their way back into Zuccotti Park.
SOUNDBITE: OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTERS, (ENGLISH) SAYING:
"You're breaking the law."
Other demonstrators marched around the park chanting, while another group set up a temporary protest location a few blocks away.
New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg ordered police to evict everyone from the privately-owned Zuccotti park saying after two months of encampment conditions had become unsanitary and intolerable. Most of the protesters left peacefully, but police arrested almost 150 others.
Protesters say the eviction has re-energized them, and they now expect an even bigger turnout for a mass action protest planned for Thursday. Occupy Wall Street's website calls for demonstrators to "Shut Down Wall Street, Occupy the Subways and Take the Square."
Regardless of where the protests are headquartered, Occupy Wall Street supporters say they won't give up pushing for economic equality.
