Occupy Dallas demonstrators may change protest location - offered site near Farmer's Market

DALLAS - Occupy Dallas protesters illegally camping at Pioneer Park in downtown Dallas have discussed moving.
They say the city has offered them an alternate site to continue their protest near Farmers Market and Dallas City Hall. But, there are split opinions and the demonstrators have not decided whether they will take the offer.
A federal judge will listen to arguments Friday as to whether the city can move protesters out since they did not meet city permit requirements.
Demonstrators say they have a First Amendment right to remain at Pioneer Park.
