Protester: We won’t be ‘silenced’ by Boston Mayor Menino

The Boston Herald reports:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday the clock — and the city’s welcome — are running out on Occupy Boston, the marching, chanting anti-corporate movement that commandeered part of the Rose Kennedy Greenway a week ago and turned a portion of the park into a tent city packed with protesters.

Relations between the city, police and the movement’s members have been amicable thus far, but Menino, for the first time since the Occupy Boston began, said yesterday there’s a limit on how long the demonstration should last.

“There will be a time when they’ll have to leave that location,” Menino told the Herald. Asked when the city might move to clear the park, he said: “We’ll make that decision in the near future.”
We doubt the demonstrators will last much longer: because there's no global warming in Boston in the winter.
