"The North Carolina city, sometimes called the "Wall Street of the South," is not taking any chances, and is already working to pass
an ordinance that would make occupying downtown spaces with tents a "public nuisance," in addition to banning "noxious substances,"
padlocks, and other camping equipment. The fact that it would knock out the city's current overnight demonstrators is an added bonus."

Ology.com reports:

"Charlotte, North Carolina, the host city for the Democratic National Convention next year to renominate President Obama, has announced that it will not tolerate planned Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. Rather, the city council enacted a series of restrictions on the allowed locations in which protesters can demonstrate and the outright ban on overnight stays.

..."The constitutionality of the ruling is already being challenged by the National Lawyers Guild, which has been providing the Occupy movement with free legal services and counsel.

"Immediately, comparisons between this year and the ill-fated 1968 Democratic convention have begun to be made. In that year, anti-Vietnam War demonstrators descended on the city of Chicago during the Democratic nominating convention which was to replace President Lyndon Johnson, who had declined to run for a second full term in office.
 
"Earlier in the year, Sen. Robert Kennedy had been assassinated, who was the favorite of the youthful protesters. His likely successor, Sen. Eugene McCarthy, was challenged by Sen. Edmund Muskie – neither of whom received the nomination.

"The party bosses chose Hubert Humphrey to face former Vice President Richard Nixon in the fall, and violence soon broke out. What follows is a truly shameful moment in American history when police, protesters, journalist and politicians engaged in violent clashes:"
