THE BLAZE: Will Occupy Wall Street Permanently Expand to Central Park This Friday?

Occupy Wall Street appears to be preparing for an Occupation expansion into New York City’s world-renowned Central Park.


This Friday– Veterans Day– the Occupiers plan to march to Central Park. The question at this point is, do they plan to stay and form a permanent, Zuccotti Park style Occupation?


There some indications the answer is “yes.”

There have been rumors for weeks that the Occupation would set up other franchises. Washington Square, Thompson Square, and Union Square parks have been reportedly under consideration, and some of those sites have already been playing host to nightly “General Assemblies.”

A permanent expansion of the Occupy Wall Street franchise would stretch police resources and exacerbate threats to public health and safety already seen in Zuccotti Park. So far, it hasn’t happened.
