on the phone right now to tell us what is going on with the occupy open movement. >>reporter: this assembly started on the east side of the plaza they moved it over to the emperor peter at the front of city hall. right now people are lining up and talking about really pretty much an open topic. some are talking about the tactics used last night. one thing that i can report that is important is basically the general consensus of this group not to enter the grassy area that has been fenced off. a couple people did try to go in there. the entire group collectively basically told them not to.
6:32 pm
at one point someone had actually moved the fence and quickly right after that other people put the fans back in place. i definitely have a sense that they will not defy the barrier. it seems to me that this group has changed their plans, their tactics. they have brought different things that they can do to bring and get their message across. it has become a common theme with people and his group that they cannot continue doing the same thing over and over again. the showdown tonight does not feel like it did last night. i can tell you that there are no police around here anywhere with in my field of view. there are
6:33 pm
literally hundreds of people with more and more people coming in to show their support. >>pam: i know this is still unfolding but you have a sense on whether or not they plan on staying out overnight in some capacity? >>reporter: that remains to be seen is a little unclear about that. a lot of the things that were discussed said perhaps as they could go up to the bank that is just down the street here and make their grievances known there. it is really unclear what the plan is right now. i am not sure there is a plan. this seems like a general assembly where the group is talking about their success and failure. the temperature, i
