think that you know the mayor is discussing things quick times that aren't haven't been reported what are those crimes that you think the mayor is probably gearing up to make another attempt to. turn the park simply because someone walks into the park doesn't mean that they're part of the movement a lot of these out with that even critical of us characterize anyone who is within you know a mile radius of this place as a protester and therefore reflective of our movement but as you can see anyone can come in here and that's fine you know we want to welcome people in but certainly because someone just dropped it doesn't mean they reflect what we're doing or that we promote what they're doing princeton professor and activist dr cornel west who's been a huge supporter of the occupation movement was down here in zuccotti park r.t. had a chance to catch up with him to get his thoughts on what mayor bloomberg has recently said i just think the rome bureau they did try to come up with a rationalization without a convincing reason do you think there's anything criminal about you know dangerous about this encampment that i think every section of new york city has
