NewYorkist Tweeted, "Direct Action committee: "We have word that NYPD are showing up as early as 4am. So let's stay up all fucking night!" #occupywallstreet"

The NYPD is supposed to clear out the park in phases starting at 7 a.m., but Occupy Wall Street has said, "Please show up at MIDNIGHT to be prepared for 6 a.m."

Russell Simmons has been Tweeting a lot about the potential clash:
Meet me at Zuccotti Park tmw at 7AM. There is NO way the brave, patriotic yng ppl are being kicked out.
