Has Segregation come to Occupy Wall Street? Yes… sleeping segregation.
The latest changes happening in Zuccotti Park may be a “canary indicator” – an early warning sign of what the people behind this movement would like to happen to America and the world.
Those who claim to represent “the 99%“ and are waging class warfare against the ”1%” they mock for living in gated communities, appear to be creating their own “gated” community… as in segregated.
Reports out of lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park say that plans are in the works for many individual tents to be removed and for the installation of “group housing” with restrictions on who can sleep in these tents.
It started on Friday. The OWS version of “eminent domain” was on display as single tents occupied by lone protesters were taken down and a large, group tent, designated for women only, was raised. At least one resident was not pleased about being evicted without notice.
The governing council of OWS apparently decided that the recent spate of reported rapes, sexual assaults and fighting in Occupy Wall Street’s Zuccotti Park warranted prompt action. And so, individual tents were moved and the giant tent (seen below) will be a “safe house” where female protesters can sleep was erected.
