That was a confusing read since both the paper and the mayor are named Bloomberg. I wonder about the truth of claims that homeless and street youth were moving into these encampments and causing trouble. Sounds like it could be bureaucratic seeds of dissent and justification for breaking up the OWS protest. Of course, the criminal element tends to creep into any human dealings so it may be true.

There are probably elements of both, but I question anything that just quotes "officials". It kind of reeks of the people in power making shit up. I hate to say this, but twitter is giving a lot of insight into what is really going on with these movements. It does not seem like there were any serious problems (although I did read about the police sending drunks to the occupied sites to cause trouble). The 'officials" would likely say otherwise.
