The city says it will continue to remove items as long as it needs to, no matter what "message" protestors are looking to send.
It wasn’t the kitchen sink, but it sure appeared to be a living room recliner, removed from thomas square park after notice had been given.
"Any items that were left unattended in this area was moved off site, and will either be disposed or has been impounded," says Westley Chun, city facility maintenance department.
And those items can be reclaimed, free of charge, for thirty days.
While this second cleanup happened the handful of occupy protestors just stood by.
The city says it is simply following up on original complaints.
"Because we have received complaints in that area and we’ve done work there. we want to make sure that we go back and make sure that no other property is there," says Trish Morikawa, City office of Housing.
There were just a few protestors at the site, including D’Angelo McIntyre.
"Probably mobile, I wouldn’t be surprised if we were at the Honolulu Hale, or even state capitol, because were some really strong people, and very determined. We’ll go wherever we need to go," says D’Angelo McIntyre.
The city says it will continue the sweeps if necessary.
"You know we’re really here to enforce the park closure. so, if any of our parks are supposedly closed, then that’s the opportunity for us to go through and do our cleanups in the evening," says Albert Tufuno, City Parks and Recreation.
