Joe diGenova: Bloomberg Bungled Wall Street Squatters

By allowing the Occupy Wall Street protesters to camp out in New York’s Zuccotti Park, Mayor Michael Bloomberg made a “terrible mistake,” Joe diGenova, a former U.S. Attorney in Washington, tells Newsmax. While the park is private, Bloomberg could have the police remove the protesters based on health or safety concerns.

“I think both the owners of the park and Mayor Bloomberg have made a terrible mistake by allowing this to develop the way it has,” says diGenova, who dealt with similar issues involving demonstrators as U.S. Attorney. “The truth is they are not going to be able to move them now. They are ensconced there, and it will obviously have a negative impact on the businesses in that area.”
