Poll: Is It Time For Occupy Providence to Leave?

Protesters say they have no plans to leave, but they've worn out their welcome with the City of Providence.

The Occupy Providence protesters have inhabited Burnside Park in Rhode Island’s capital city for more than a week and say they have no plans to leave. The Providence Journal is now reporting that Providence Mayor Angel Taveras will be seeking an injunction to force their removal.

What do you think? Is it time for the protesters to leave? Should they be allowed to stay as long as they’d like to exercise their free speech rights?
