Just Jack Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here's a link to some video from yesterday. Language is NSFW. Unless you work in a place where it's acceptable to yell "Fugg thePolice!" In which case, crank it up. At the 2:30 mark when they're heading inside, apparently they'll chant along with anything you say if you're loud enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Banks and corporations complicit in attacking Bay Area Communities, homes, education environment, livelihood and democracy?? If it weren't for these evil corporations I'd like to see what some of these Bay Area communities would actuall look like. [/size][/font] Liberals trying to shut down San Francisco. I'm no fan of reality TV, but I'd pay to watch that unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to shut down the financial district before the markets open up. I can hear it now: "It's 9:15.....Let's roll!!" "Ahhh dude, the markets open at 6:30am PST" "Whoa.....that's too early."

We've only had 3 days or so with rain since the "rainy season " started in October. Supposed to rain tonight through at least Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how Bush's weather machine caused Katrina because he hated blacks? It was only a matter of time before he turned it on the smelly hippies in San Francisco. Not sure what took him so long to break it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like OWS is out of money. "If we keep spending at the rate at which we have been doing, we will probably go broke in a month," said Haywood Carey, 28 years old, a member of the movement's accounting group.

Chef Jim Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) My wife got another memo outlining the events scheduled for today in the SF Financial District. Here are some of the highlights. They're marching on BofA beacaus: Banks, and financial capital in general, spread their tentacles throughout all oppressive mechanisms of the US government. Whether its investing in the military industrial complex, to shackling countries in Africa and Latin America with high interest loans, to financing private prisons for the poor here in the US, to putting students in debt for life for an education that can't guarantee them a job, to filling the pockets of corrupt politicians, or foreclosing on families for profit, the banks have robbed billions of people of a future Oooooh scary stuff: A moving & creative action at Wells Fargo. We will have street theatre and high energy chanting Sounds like the acid shipment finally arrived: Back in 2009 Matt Taibbi referred to Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money." In honor of SG's continued blood-sucking, we will fry up some squid in front of GS's headquarters, preventing customers from entering. So bring a small frying pan and we'll provide the squid. They wrecked our lives!! Foreclosure fighters, Bernal neighbors, and supporters will be rallying locally to demand that banks stop foreclosing on our homes and evicting renters as well as homeowners in our neighborhood, while accepting billions of dollars in bailouts to crash our economy. We'll also be joining thousands of others in downtown San Francisco who will be occupying the financial district all day to protest the financial institutions whose policies continue to wreck our lives. Yeah that's it, we'll force them to buy loans and then foreclose on them so we will no longer have any payments on those loans. [Evil laugh] We'll protest the role Fannie Mae played in luring homeowners into predatory loans and then foreclosing on them, as well as the thousands of empty homes Fannie Mae is sitting onhomes which could be turned into affordable rentals Sorry Mother Nature had to rain in their parade.

Just Jack Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Fried squid? Isn't that like calamari? I wonder if they'll give away samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Now OWS is protesting "Citizens United" becuase "corporations arent people" and therefore should not have a say in the political process. Of course, unions ARE people and SHOULD have a seat at the table. !@#$s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Fried squid? Isn't that like calamari? I wonder if they'll give away samples. They had a reporter out there this morning. There were probably 8 people standing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like OWS is out of money. Maybe The Benbernank will offer to purchase their debt so they can continue spending money on such necesseties as: There was a receipt for $1,101.07 to purchase herbs for homeopathic medicine as well as a few hundred dollars used to purchase rolling paper and tobacco for the "Nic at Night" cigarette station at the park. Yeah "cigarette station" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the squid IS cleaned, cut and properly breaded before it's fried, my next question would be "Who's bringing the marinara sauce?"

DC Tom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 putting students in debt for life for an education that can't guarantee them a job It's not the bank's fault that you studied Art History and thought you could pull in six figures a year immediately after graduation.
