BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Baltimore City officials are taking a stand to get Occupy Baltimore protesters to leave McKeldin Square. Wednesday night, they turned off the electricity in the area.
Meghan McCorkell has more on how that’s affecting the demonstrations.
You can see the lights are still on behind me. They stay on 24/7. But the power has been cut. Protesters say this won’t stop them.
“It is getting cold and it’s quite inhumane for them to turn off the power,” said Timothy Chin of Occupy Baltimore.
City officials flipped the switch after they say they found fire and electrocution hazards.
People have spent thousands of years living without electricity,” Philip Hoyle of Occupy Baltimore said. “I can see people making ways around it again.”
Just last week, the city ruled that camping at McKeldin Plaza was illegal.
A view from Sky Eye Chopper 13 shows the tents that remain. Safety– a concern at the site after reports of theft and illegal drug use.

My City knows how to deal with Protesters! Unlike NY and OAKLAND Uses Violance to solve problems.
