Nikki Haley ordered the Occupy Movement off the state house grounds today — she gave the word at 4:30 and they had until 6pm to leave. Peaceful protesters were then arrested, 23 is the number currently being reported.
They removed all of their overnight stuff but were still arrested for being on the grounds after 6pm.

What a poor attempt of suppressing freedom of speech, Shame on you Nikki Haley.
