In any case, it seems like the movement is at it's peak right now, it seems it could go on forever: it might be better to let the police force them out and martyr the movement so that it can claim its small victory and organize for the next maneuver. Better to get violently, visibly snuffed out by the rough hands of the police than to have people simply get bored or frustrated and leave. But that's not to say I don't think staying has it's own benefits.

^^^^^ CB: Good to think through all contingencies, but best for this to go to December as planned. This is a real national movement ! Many more positive developments can be caused by it. One is that THE MAYOR BACKED OFF THE EVICTION ! - a victory that will make the movement even stronger.
