Question: Was Bloomberg's Move to Clear Occupy Wall Street Right?
Tents and tarps were cleared by the NYPD and FDNY Tuesday morning — what do you think?

After two months of literally occupying Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, Occupy Wall Street protestors were forced to clear out of the area by police and fire authorities early Tuesday morning. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said later that tent and tarps and unsanitary living conditions presented public safety and health issues. The protestors were welcome to come back after the park is cleaned, but tents would no longer be allowed.
