Wall Street Protests

[Lamplighter]

The Mayor, Sam Adams, has given Occupy Portland a deadline
to clear the city parks: Saturday, midnight.

The Park Commissioner has been pissed since Day 1
The PDX Police Union has been pissed since the 5th of Nov
The PDX business community has been whining all along
The local Tea Party is confused.

Word on the street is that the Mayor is focused on whether or not
"Occupy PDX" has lost control of it's encampment to non-Occupy infiltration.

“Portland’s mayor on Thursday ordered one of the largest
Occupy Wall Street camps in the country to shut down this weekend
over concerns about unhealthy conditions and the encampment’s attraction of
drug users and thieves, but a faction of protesters pledged to resist any eviction attempts.

Confrontation may or may not happen, as the General Assembly
is discussing a move to different city park.
Other area "Occupy" groups are discussing support to PDX.
