New York City had the right to clear Zucotti Park of the Occupy Wall Street encampment and the protestors have no right to return with tents or other overnight gear, Judge Michael Stallman of the New York State Supreme Court has ruled. He denied the protest’s request for an extension of an earlier restraining order against the city’s police force.

Sanity prevails. The First Amendment doesn’t protect your “right” to camp for weeks on private property. Just because you’re having a temper tantrum doesn’t mean the rights of others go out the window. You can protest. You can hold up signs. You can call for action. But there’s a big difference between protesting and living somewhere for months.

Here‘s the ruling. The judge found the park’s rules against encampments and the city’s regulations against the accumulation of feces and trash are reasonable restrictions and do not infringe on First Amendment rights.
