As Deadline Passes, Occupy Philly, LA Protesters Calm [VIDEO]

A deadline set by city officials for Occupy Philadelphia to leave the site where it has camped for nearly two months has passed without any arrests.

The scene outside City Hall was still quiet early Monday even though some protesters had prepared for the possibility of arrest.

In Los Angeles, the deadline for Wall Street protesters to vacate their encampment outside Los Angeles' City Hall has passed and they appear to be staying put.

The park was still packed with hundreds of Occupy LA demonstrators and supporters despite the order by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa  that the grounds would be closed at 12:01 a.m. PST Monday.

The atmosphere was celebratory around the encampment. A group of protesters on bicycle circled the block, one of them in a cow suit. Organizers led chants with a bull horn.

Villaraigosa says police will not immediately begin making arrests to provide ample time for protesters to leave.

Still police say they doubt if everyone will go and they do expect to make arrests at some point.
