The Eviction of Occupy Wall Street

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, finally having enough of the Occupy Wall Street protestors creating health hazards in his city and unlawfully occupying public land, ordered Zuccotti Park to be taken back by the NYC Police.  The New York Post has more to the story here:

An administration source insisted that Bloomberg gave the go-ahead to roust the protesters because of “an accumulation of things” — including concerns that the park became a firetrap and that protesters were planning to build wooden structures to prepare for winter.

But sources familiar with Bloomberg’s decision said he also was concerned with public health.

Scabies and lice recently cropped up among those sleeping in Zuccotti Park — and there were concerns that the infestations would grow even worse, said a law-enforcement source.

There also was an increasing numbers of lung ailments caused by constant smoking and the chilly nighttime temperatures, medics who worked on the scene confirmed.

This is good that Mayor Bloomberg finally thought it wise to take back his city.  The lawlessness and crime taking place at OWS camps throughout the United States has been well documented (see the OWS rap sheet here).  The public has started seeing the vices of OWS on display with more regularity and have started to change their opinions on the occupiers.  I am just so glad that our strong-willed political officers are now starting to catch on. 

This kind of mob rule is not what the Founders envisioned when they created the Constitution and set it on the foundation of "the Law of Nature and of Nature's God."
