Deadline for protesters arrives, but protesters remain at Occupy LA

LOS ANGELES — Wall Street protesters in Los Angeles defied the mayor's early Monday deadline to vacate their encampment near City Hall, with about 1,000 flooding into the area as hundreds of tents remained standing as they have for nearly two months. A celebratory atmosphere filled the night with protesters milling about in seeming good spirits. A group on bicycles circled the block, one of them in a cow suit. Organizers led chants with a bull horn. "The best way to keep a non-violent movement non-violent is to throw a party, and keep it festive and atmospheric."

There are those who say the police should not use force. There are those who say it's OK for anarchists to take over public or private property because they want to do it. I say get them the hell out, they have no business breaking the law.  If you or I did this we'd be in jail by now.
