Right, there are some that have been ordered by judges to stop as well. I think a lot of places are now realizing there is no way for them to win here. If they attack the people and arrest them they get shit on by the supporters. If they let them stay they get shit on by those who don't support them.

I think a lot of places are now going with the "hope they go away on their own" theory. I have a feeling the movement is here to stay. The question is will they be able to come together and actually exact some change like the tea party has or will they just make noise and nothing else.
