Today’s New York Post<\/a>\u00a0posted a commentary on why Mayor Bloomberg in New York City finally decided to evict the Occupy Wall Street protesters who had taken over Zuccotti Park.\u00a0Things had truly gotten out of hand–some of the occupiers had contracted\u00a0scabies, lice and various lung ailments. It was not a healthy place. It kind of makes you appreciate the luxuries of civilization.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

An administration source insisted that Bloomberg gave the go-ahead to roust the protesters because of \u201can accumulation of things\u201d \u2014 including concerns that the park became a firetrap and that protesters were planning to build wooden structures to prepare for winter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But sources familiar with Bloomberg\u2019s decision said he also was concerned with public health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

\n

And Hizzoner didn\u2019t like being called out by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani <\/a>for his inactivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, Giuliani said that he would never have tolerated people sleeping in the park and that the city should kick the protesters out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I suspect a lot of New York City residents and people who work in the city miss Mayor Giuliani.<\/div>\n
Occupy Wall Street had one valid point–the economy is in bad shape and people are having a hard time being upwardly mobile. Unfortunately, they were protesting the wrong people–they should have camped out outside the White House and Congress–that is where the regulations and tax policy that is crippling our economy is coming from. At any rate, it’s time for the protesters to go home and become productive members of society. If they don’t like the way things are, they need to find a constructive way to get involved and change things–but they should get their facts straight first.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
