Mayor: Occupy L.A. must vacate by Monday

Villaraigosa's press conference was nearly taken over this afternoon by at least one bozo from Occupy L.A. who did the "We the people..." bit and kept yapping while the mayor just stood there trying to read a statement on the decision to clear City Hall Park. Sounded like the 60s all over again. Villaraigosa said that the occupation was not sustainable for health and safety reasons and that as of 12:01 a.m. on Monday they were going to shut the place down. Basically, all the cops will be doing is enforcing laws that have been suspended for almost two months. But judging by the initial reaction, it doesn't seem like the occupiers are exactly ready to back up the U-haul trucks.
