What is the state, exactly, of OWS in Zucotti Park right now?
Advertisements [?]
There are so many threads swirling around I'm having a hard time keeping track of what's happening. Here's what I think has happened over the last 24 hours:

1) Riot police raid OWS in Zucotti Park, trashing thousands of dollars of private property, arresting about 200 people, while blocking off entrance and egress to/from the park especially press and including restricting air traffic over the park.

2) Judge Lucy Billings rules that action was bullshit and protesters need to be allowed back in the park, tents and all.

3) Bloomberg takes Billings off the case and puts a new judge on it.

4) New judge says protesters can come back. Sans tents.

5) NYPD says all the stuff they trashed, including the library, is safe in police custody and can be picked up on Wednesday. (Although the photos I saw sure didn't look like anything was safely handled, many items were broken, and who can prove ownership of a tent to pick it up, anyway?)


My questions are:

Is this a good summation of the time-line and events thus far?

Have I missed or misunderstood any part?

Thanks in advance! :hi:
