@dailyrev ·More@OccupyWallStNYC Can you evict a fake idea? Can you fake-evict an idea? Can the occupiers at the perimeter move to arrest the NYPD inside?

http://bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/2011_1207why_meninos_wary_of_ousting_occupiers/
this is actually kind of insightful from the boston herald (!):
“(The mayor) expects the judge to come down his way on this,” the source explained. “And when she does, he’ll do nothing. At least not right away.
“He obviously expects the weather to get brutal soon. And that will make it harder and harder for them to stay, especially with the ban on any winter tents.”
So, exasperated though he may be, Menino will wait on a judge and then wait for winter to start feeling like winter.

also having lived in boston for as long as i did, i wouldn't put it past menino/the bpd to make a big spectacle of themselves even if the simpler thing to do WOULD just be to wait for the students to clear out for the holidays and take a bunch of occupiers with them (as the article alludes to, the bpd have also had some pretty prominent, erm, crowd control issues over the past decade or so)
