Poll: Is Occupy Wall Street Going Too Far? [GALLERY]

Demonstrators blocking traffic have already been arrested. Is movement going overboard?

The Occupy Wall Street movement entered what is promising to be the most contentious day yet on Thursday.

Demonstrators have vowed to "shut down Wall Street," blocking traffic on major roadways leading to the financial district. Police have already arrested some protestors who were sitting, blocking traffic. The crowd was reportedly chanting "all day, all week, shut down Wall Street."

The newest developments come after the city and park owners had tents and sleeping bags removed on Tuesday.

Is that, in your opinion, a good thing? Is it necessary for the protestors to do so in reaction to their encampment being taken down?
