I got the following Facebook alert last night from Thomas “Human Microphone” Hudson, who’s been one of the OLR regulars:

Occupy Little Rock’s five hour general assembly meeting has adjourned, following a 92% vote in favor of moving to the location proposed by the city tomorrow.

I note that a movement leaderless by design can’t guarantee the actions of any, much less all, of its adherents, but the early signal seems to be that confrontation has been averted.

PS — City Manager Bruce Moore notes that Occupy Little Rock may protest at its spot in the Clinton Park until it closes each night at 10 p.m.
