NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) Dozens of Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested Saturday after they scaled a chain-link fence or crawled under it to get to an Episcopal church-owned lot they want to use for a new camp site.
Protesters used a wooden ladder to scale the fence or lifted it from below while others cheered them on. A man wearing a Santa suit stood on the ladder among others, as they ignored red “Private Property” signs.
As officers made arrests, protesters shouted obscenities and hollered: “Make them catch you!” The group was inside the lot for a short time before being led out by police in single file through a space in the fence. About 50 people were arrested, police said.
About a thousand people gathered across the street at a city-owned park.
Protesters have been looking for a new place to set up camp since they were ousted from Zuccotti Park and are considering Duarte Square, which is owned by Trinity Wall Street Episcopal church.
Now, they've begun a march on the Rector's home; via Twitter, there are reportedly 'paddy wagons and netting' lining up to catch the loose 'tards.
Hey, OWS! "SUCCESS" comes before "WORK" ONLY in a DICTIONARY!
Freakin' morons. See what happens when LeftLibProggs have kids ?
