This isn’t as blunt as Rudy Giuliani’s “streets are not for sleeping” rule, but apparently Mayor Bloomberg is finally taking a stand against the unwashed homeless hordes in Zuccotti Park. Sort of:

Anti-Wall Street protesters’ plans to camp in a New York park throughout the city’s harsh winter were dealt a blow on Friday when the fire department confiscated six generators and about a dozen cans of fuel. …

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the generators were confiscated because they were considered a safety hazard and it was not a bid to remove protesters.

“As long as they don’t take away anybody else’s rights to say what they want to say, or to not say anything, to go about their business safely … at the moment it will continue,” Bloomberg told local radio.

That means it’s going to be a long, cold weekend for the Occupiers. Tomorrow night, the city is bracing for its first snowfall of the season, with temperatures dropping to 32 degrees. Sunday won’t be much better, with a low of 34 and a high of 49.
