NYC authorities trying to freeze out OWS?

 

RT

With the temperatures in New York plummeting toward freezing and snowfall predicted, city authorities removed six power generators and several dozen canisters of fuel from Occupy Wall Street protesters camped out in Zuccotti Park.

On Friday, more than 20 police and fire department officials entered the encampment and demanded that the protesters turn over anything that could be considered a fire hazard, citing safety concerns. That included even vegetable oil for cooking.

Letter of support from Dennis Kucinich

Dear Friends,

An Iraq War veteran who survived two tours of duty gets his skull fractured in … Oakland! 53 activists arrested in Atlanta. SWAT teams deployed to boot out peaceful protesters.

Recent actions against Occupy protesters are irresponsible and tragic. They’re an assault on our democracy. These protesters are bravely exercising their right to freedom of expression, to bring attention to a political and economic system that’s rigged against most Americans. I stand with them; and, all Americans — left and right — should join me in protecting their freedom to non-violently create change.
