First Amendment denied

I am one of the most out spoken critics of Occupy movement there is, but even I can't abide what happened early this morning in Dallas.

The Occupy movement of Dallas was effectively shut down after the protesters were told they would be allowed to stay in their location for one more month only a few hours before. As I said I have no love for this movement, but this is pathetic. Granted, these people are confused and seem to be leaderless - especially in Dallas, but to silence their voice in such a manner is an affront to our constitution. The protesters were given a fair ultimatum, screw up again and that's it. It's almost laughable that "too much" trash was the reason the local movement was shut down. I find it hard to believe that DPD and the Dallas government ever planned to let the occupiers stay until mid-Decemeber.

The major concern all along with these people was public safety. The conditions the occupiers were occupying in were less than quality. Plus there was the issue of drugs and the homeless co-occupying the occupiers area. The conditions were unsanitary and unsafe, but that's all part of revolt. It's dangerous and the revolters realize this. If they're committed to the cause they stay, if they'e not they'll leave, but shutting them down is just wrong. They had a right to be there and still do. Today was a sad day for our democracy.
