Subscribe to RSSBank of America employees are being told to be careful Tuesday as housing activists and Occupy protesters gear up to take over foreclosed homes and empty lots and help defend families facing eviction in at least 25 cities.
"Your safety is our primary concern, so do not engage with the protesters," said a bank memo issued Tuesday.
The move by activists is part of a bid to re-energize the grassroots movement and put the spotlight on the ongoing housing crisis.
"As ungrateful bailed-out banks continue to foreclose on American families, Occupy Wall Street takes fight to the ‘home front’," said a press release sent to Business Insider.
In response, bank officials reportedly sent out a memo telling their employees to be extra careful, and even referred to a specific story on occupyourhomes.org that features a Bank of America customer they're "researching."
Thanks to zerohedge.com for providing a copy of the memo.
Elsewhere across the country Tuesday:
- Occupy Hartford protesters told to vacate
- Police clear out New Orleans camp
- Housing and 'Occupy' activists take aim at foreclosed homes, empty lots

Someone needs to clean house at BoA, and all of the other TBTF banks, from top down.....ANYONE involved in this fraudulent mess of mortgages needs to be fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Can that include the Government?
Kill them? Really Bob1/28??? Freaking idiot
What's not being talked about much by the MSM is the fact that the Government, since Clinton, has been pressuring banks to make more home loans to people who couldn't necessarily qualify on their own, or face scrutiny from the Gov. They made them make loans the banks didn't want to make, and now look where we are.
Congress should get a warning too, it's loaded with charlatans
ROB
It's called greed and gluttony . Congress is on the pad and still wants more . The bankers have been playing C Y A and betting on thoes loans failing . All concerned make money , execpt you and I . We clean up the mess and pay for it .
bob
We have elected the politicians that provided the environment for these banks to operate in. The Senate Banking Committee reacted to the banking crisis like it came out of nowhere. They apparently had no clue what was going on. Call it whatever you want, incompetence or crony politics, but go after the source of the problem, our politicians of both parties that continue to run this country knowing these policies will have little if any affect on them.
Lanikai ron
Yes this is all to true !! The hard part is finding our way out of the mess they have made . It will be an up hill fight . Congress has exempted itself from prosecution and there by put them selves ABOVE the LAW .
bob
Rob M, what is your evidence that the banks "didn't want to make" these loans? What I saw happen was the government made laws removing regulations restricting loan qualifications, thus giving banks permission to offer loans to those who couldn't afford them. The banks saw an opportunity and jumped on it. They devised ways of bundling the loans and selling them to other financial institutions for a lot of money quick before they were defaulted on and the last bank holding the bag was the one needing to be bailed out by our taxpayer dollars to save the entire house of cards from collapsing and destroying our country. I don't see that as the government pressuring the banks to do something they didn't want to do. The government offered the ball to the banks and the banks ran with it and expanded it to provide them with the biggest profit they could extract, with no consideration for the consumer.
I used to work at a bank making some of those loans. No one in the govt forced the bank to make bad loans. The bank I worked with still did due diligence and did not go out on a limb with these high risk loans ... that were generating high profits and bonuses for bank officers. Despite the allure of excessive profits, my bank steered away where the risk was to high. Our execs understood that they were responsible, and we got burned on real estate back in the early 90s when the market collapsed for a few years.
Some people in Congress took money to change the rules, but no one forced the banks to make bad loans. The bank officers that pushed unethical lending are fully responsible and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
26.2 deleted, bob1/28 calling for the death of BofA execs. Avoid calling for the death of pretty much anyone this side of convicts.
Don't give up!
Please, please, please--I understand the ire, upset, and vile behaviors--But PLEASE, no violence!!!! Sit in, be peaceful, don't retaliate, don't harm anyone. This goes for both sides of these endeavors. Violence and destruction will do NO GOOD whatsoever. Please --NO VIOLENCE.
Mistakes have been made on both sides of this mess. Greed got the better of everyone, and it still hangs on in the deep, dark recesses of banks, mortgages companies and Wall Street. It can infect anyone. We need to step back from it, and give it some space. A moderate tone with a positive stance can make everyone much happier. Will this fix everything? NO, but it will give us a place from which to work. We can't start solid building again until we stop doing the things that tore us down in the first place.
The Occupy protests have been going for a while and no one on Wall Street or Washington is listining. The violance so far has been against the the peacefull, unarmed protesters. It is only a mater of time until this protest turns into a revolution, with bloodshed, you can only beat people down for so long untill the react.
Time for non-violent protest is over . I didn't see any of the crooks from Wall Street convicted . Only a good smack will bring them back to reality .
Time for the negotiations is over
LittleOh Red
The OWS movement will only get that bad when the bankers , kings of industry and wall street fat cats get pushed further into their corner . That is when you see and hear the police and the national guardbeing called in . As for now the big boys are looking to down play and discredit the OWSers. It will lbe they who call on the storm troopers not OWS.
The more questions we ask the fewer awnsers the boys have . Slowly but sureley they are being cornered . Hope the big boys and congress comes clean first. The last thing we need is another civil war !!!!
bob
sorry any form of violence is only a demonstration of a persons unevolved animistic tendencies. Lets be adults here if it is possible. We are not kids in highschool. If a person has to use violence to get their point across then then they are just as scummy and worthless as those they are protesting against
Mistakes were not made on 'both sides'. Mistakes were made on one side, that then got bailed out by the govt. It is absurd to let corporation privatize the profits while socializing the risks ... that is just stealing. The bank officers that profited should be held accountable.
Pirate C
EXCUSE ME !!!!!
The fat cats , congress , and captains and kings of industry will stop nor stoop at nothing to cover up their GREED !!!! They through the controlled media ( which they control ) will slant the stories against the O.W.S. movement and the rest of us.
bob
I don't know about this...I FULLY supported OWS's right to protest, and complain about police tactics in driving them away from public parks - and I'm a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN!!! Yes, I too was against the bank bailout, and I remember all the accusations thrown against the TEA party, accusing them of being racists in order to silence the movement. (Odd, don't you think, that the Gov't is the ones trying to silence OWS - why is that?)
But now you're talking about breaking and entering into foreclosed homes...I don't know about that. As long as the protests were peaceful I could support them, but this new tactic seems to be crossing a line - and it could backfire on you as well. Many of those opposed to OWS describe you as "thugs" and "criminals," and B&E charges would just fit right into that description. And by all means, stay away from BofA employees (although I expect this "memo" is designed to discredit OWS, and that BofA has no real proof that OWS has tried to mess with BofA employees directly). Be careful and BE SMART!!!
Steve, what are you ON?
Mistakes were not made on both sides? Interesting. I don't remember the big ol' bad bank make me sell my house and buy one I couldn't afford. I must have been the "lucky" one that fell through the banker's crack. Half of my neighbors sold their houses to buy mini-mansions. All of them lost them, and NOT ONE was forced to make that choice. They were just a greedy as the bankers were! They just didn't get saved by congress...
More Marxists will be getting arrested soon.
... and more know-nothings will spout absurdities about communism.
hcdouglass, what's Marxism? Without looking it up, please, do tell me.
I bet you all of my possessions you don't have a damned clue.
where do you find Marxists these days? -- Argentina? Cuba? the Chinese have turned into hybrids. all those guys are beyond your local sheriff's reach, hcdouglass.
or maybe, since you're referring to wild-hair idealists that are unable to compromise to save the nation, you're talking about the TEA Party guys or their Texas Money oilmen? hey, you can arrest all of those grade-A phonies you want. I'll help you tie and brand 'em.
Marxism is a form of socialism started by Marx and Engell. Next question?
@hcdouglass---how is wanting corporate money out of our political system Marxist? I need an explanation.
The problem here is not socialism; the problem is unrestrained capitalism. Markets are not self regulating. Some people are always looking for a loophole they can exploit. Enron killed people for money when energy was deregulated. Bankers killed people for money when banking was deregulated. You can not put millions of people on the street without some fatalities, marriages destroyed, etc.
Capitalism only works effectively with reasonable checks and balances. Without rules, some businesses will act like gangsters. Then others are forced to follow their lead or go out of business. We need a level playing field for our economy to work effectively for all Americans.
How is Marxism relevant to OWS's stated desire for the elimination of corporate influence of the U.S. government and its laws through the ability to financially leverage favoritism? Maybe you can draw the parallel between Marxism and the OWS movement's opposition to corporate predatory practices that continue to erode the stability of the middle class?
I'm all a'f*ckin' a'tingle with anticipation to hear your answers to the questions you asked for. Put some effort into your response.
Steve, I think neither socialism, nor "unrestrained capitalism" are the problem. The problem is that our government does not work for the best interest of the American public. Our politicians have concerned themselves with what will benefit their campaign donors or their associates they rub shoulders with. I personally don't see capitalism being practiced in our economic system. Rules and regulations are devised while consulting big business and "too big to fail" corporations recieve government bail-outs. These are basically costly, public institution as far as I am concerned.
If you are referring to the Corporatism run amok in the US today, Corporatism is NOT the result of Free Markets gone bad. Corporatism is an unholy alliance between the rich corporations and government. The wealthy buy influence in government which writes laws and regulations through bureaucracies that are a revolving door of former employees and promises of future benefits. The rules almost always restrict and undermine competition. The end result is not free markets but tightly controlled ones that benefit the few at the expense of the many. This is America today. You will never regulate the greed and corruption of mankind. True free markets would have punished all the wrong doers today. The super rich would have lost TRILLIONS in bad investments and their shareholders would have never trusted them again. Instead, today these people are richer than ever… That’s corporatism for you… not free markets.
every single attempt at foreclosure needs to be challenged... the entity foreclosing needs in most states to actually hold the physical mortgage document, in many to have registered that document with the state or county where the house is, and needs to have all its paperwork in a row.
with the bogus webgaming MERS as the sponge for a lot of TBTF banking's woes, the entity that has to file would be MERS. which would have to meet the standards above. if BlanketyBank has been doing the servicing, MERS would have to furnish the original mortgage document to the bank before they could waddle into court, fat and happy and dumb, and try to put granny on the street for Christmas in the blizzard.
and no judge should accept any amount of "hey, we looked" paperwork. some aren't. those judges are the only honest ones.
swschrad-2362342:
You are correct except that the controlling document is the NOTE, not the mortgage.
You either have never bought a house or you never read the documents. Almost all houses are sold on deed trust where you agree they can foreclose on the house almost for any reason. Pretty much you are a day late and they can declare the full amount due and when you don't pay they can post it for foreclosure. Few if any states require any court hearing on the issue so no judge even looks at it. You want a judge to look over the paperwork its up to YOU to hire a lawyer and file a suit against the bank.
The problem is even if the paperwork is not 100% it doesn't matter, since people who have money to hire lawyer also have money to make the payments which prevents the bank from foreclosing in the first place.
Still it is a waste of money to pay a lawyer eventually the bank will get the paperwork correct and then they can play the paperwork game and get a judgement against you for the lose they take when they resell the house. They can also choose to not write off the second mortgages and come after you for that. You now get to file bankruptcy and pay lawyers even more. The banks can be much more evil than they are in many cases.
Yes, obviously banks should stop foreclosing on delinquent loans. That's certainly the solution. Come to think of it, the credit card company shouldn't come after me if I decide to stop paying my bills. Ditto for the utilities, and come to think of it, next time I go to a restaurant, if I decide I don't want to pay the check, they should simply accept that my meal should be free.
No one should ever have to pay their bills, ever. It's a conspiracy by corporations to ensure we remain slaves while they pocket the profits for services rendered.
I can't stand the idiot entitlement mentality that seems to be going around so much these days
Matt-3468366:
I would ask you, what are we to do in the face of obvious fraud? The recorder in my home county has been tapped by the state attorney general to monitor forclosure documents as part of an ongoing lawsuit. She has stated in a public article that she sees the same few names over and over on documents, and that the person signing is at the same time the vice-president of numerous banks and credit unions, as well as MERS. Now, if the system is supposed to be fair, how can the lenders get away with this? It's not that foreclosures should be stopped, but is it too much to ensure that they are done legally and according to statute? Clearly this is not happening in many instances; it is unfair to the extent that some of those losing their homes could keep them if their lender/servicer would just negotiate in good faith to modify their mortgage to an affordable payment.
"I can't stand the idiot entitlement mentality that seems to be going around so much these days"
Yeah, with all the BS on robo signing and short cuts to grab people's home the banks do seem to think they are entitled.
If you stop paying and default, then YES, they are entitled to your house
What "fraud" are you talking about? Can you name one instance where someone was foreclosed upon where they had not stopped making their mortgage payments?
The so-called "irregularities" in foreclosures are few and far between, and mostly because there are so darn many of them! And in those few instances, the banks have been sued for very large sums of money.
Just because someone signs a lot of foreclosure documents at once doesn't mean the underlying foreclosures are invalid.
Of course, I can see where you get the idea - the media promotes this idea.
As for "modification" - if we modify some people's loans, why not modify all of them. I sold everything I owned to get out of debt. Maybe I should have hung on and waited for a "modification" - perhaps I would have been better off.
No, foreclose on the homes. There is life after foreclosure. They are just possessions. Sell the houses and let someone who can afford them, move in. Chances are, it will be the same people...
Let's see, the banks made risky loans so they could increase their customer base thereby making themselves appear to be a better investment and made a lot of money, (Greed) Then they mixed the risky loans in with no-risk loans and sold them as secure investments and made a lot of money, (more Greed) Then when the risky loans became losses, the banks took loans from the Government (taxpayer money) and again they made a lot of money, (much more Greed) Then the banks, using taxpayer money bought back the loans, at a very reduced rate and began foreclosers, again making a lot of money. They diden't just take away houses they took away homes and broke up families, (the Greediest). Most banks have no interest in serving their customers only in self serving.
RobertPlattBell
I have read plenty about irregularities by the banks. I find it amazing you seem to be ignorant of this. There was an article about a guy locked out of his house and his mortgage was paid off! He went through hell getting someone to listen to him. This happens way to often.
Are you f*cking kidding me? Crawl out from underneath the goddamned rock. There are literally thousands of lawsuits filed by individuals and states in regards to deceptive foreclosure practices.
No wonder the f*cking banks can get away with murder. No one is willing to do a simple f*cking INTERNET SEARCH to see what the hell is going on.
Quit blaming the victims. Identify and persecute the real @!$%#s.
@ Weiser JG
- you don't seem to have a problem with the fact that you are entitled to your opinion, do you?
Do you beleive in God? He said it was against his will to charge interest - Did you read that part?
I'm partial to releigion of all kind but for those of you who claim to beleive and follow God's will; please remember that he asked you to follow it exactly.
I'm all for a free market but a real free market not this corporate/congress controlled circus we have now!
There was a reason they called those mortgage rates 'teaser rates'.
Here is an example of what the Occupy crowd is against.
General Electric (GE) in 2010 made $14.2 billion in profit. They paid $0 in federal income taxes. They received $3.5 billion in tax credits from the IRS.
Did GE use their corporate welfare to do their part as a "job creator"? No. in the last two years, GE has eliminated almost 20,000 jobs in the US.
A family making a median income of $50,000, paying an effective tax rate of %20, paid $10,000 in federal income taxes.
So, it took 350,000 of those families just to pay for GE's corporate welfare credits.
That is 350,000 families that had their tax money disappear into GE's pockets and getting nothing in return from their government.
This was also done by Verizon, DuPont, Boeing and a whole host of other super-rich mega-corporations.
This should not be allowed to happen. It is wrong. I know that our elected corporate shills in Congress set this up for them. They were paid enough to get it done.
This must stop. But the government won't stop it. The corporations are paying them to keep the gravy train rolling.
This is your government giving your money to the mega-rich that don't need it. And you get nothing from your government. No roads, infrastructure, regulations against arsenic in your water, etc.
Meanwhile, the "authorities" are going to extreme measures to quash the Occupy movement. At the behest, of course, of their government handlers, and their corporate masters.
It is in the interests of the 99% (whether you think you are the 99% or not), to support the cause of Occupy. Government accountability and ethics. Corporate responsibility. The end of corporate plutocracy.
Occupy wants fairness and equality. Not to take all of the rich people's money. Not a handout. Just fairness to the hard working American people. To stop the ongoing class warfare against the middle class.
Est officium populi.
Life is not fair so why would you expect the world to be. If that's the OWS cause for the movement then life is gonna pass you guys by. Sorry to tell you but reality is - this ocean called real life is REAL not sugar coated.
We aren't all socialists either. Capitalism can work fine if done legally and ethically. Also, we aren't all Dems and Reps. Both parties are corrupt by being bought and paid for by lobbyists and the corporations that pay them
GE CEO Jeffry Immelt = Obamas jobs czar. Occupy the white house.
Notice I did not say it was Obama's fault, or the Democrats, or the Republicans, or the Tea Party.
It's the fault of all of them. And all of us for allowing it.
Are we going to sit here now and say "Oh well, that's just the way it is"?
GE Tax credits were courtesy of Obama's stimulus. Blaming Republicans and the Tea Party for it is complete BS. They thought it was a steaming pile of Manure too.
Tax credits do not mean a refund. They are against taxes owed. GE did not get $3billion back from the Feds. And "What?-3106699" what are you talking about!? How is GE's tax credit part of the stimulis??? I'm listening.
What?,
Tax credits are NOT part of the stimulus. That statement a patently false.
Pilot,
Yes, tax credits do mean refund. And yes, GE did get $3.5 billion back from the Feds. It's called a negative effective tax rate. Many mega-corps have negative tax rates.
Sorry Stan but GE did not "get cash back from the Fed". Their tax levy was reduced.
GE got a ton of "clean energy" tax credits from the stimulus. A lot of them were for Windmill turbines but there were others. Here is just one example with Joe Biteme bragging about the credits in a GE Dishwasher plant.
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9GKU4580.htm
Pilot,
They did. Google "negative tax rates".
What?,
Yes, the stimulus created some credits that GE did take advantage of. But that is not where tax credits, in general, or all the tax credits that GE got came from. Tax credits are as old as the tax code.
And did GE do their "Job Creator" part? No. They cut 20,000 jobs over the last 2 years.
My point is no mega-corp should get negative tax rates.
If the OWS crowd would like to work for GE, here's the tip; buy an old station wagon and put as many occupiers in it you can fit, pool your cash together for fuel then head for Monterey Mexico. GE moved their manufacturing down there, one of the benies is besides the $2 bucks an hour, you can get the 3 taco lunch included in your welfare package!! GE..........."Imagination at Work"
Yeah, roc,
That's probably where they build those wind turbines that the IRS paid for with our tax money.
Great, thorough and balanced explaination Stan. Thanks.
Isn't this backwards? Don't they need to warn the Occupiers about engaging BofA?
Sorry CG: you spent too much time in front of that keyboard and don't really understand how the real world works...........maybe you could google "buying" real estate...........that would be a good way to start to understand a few basics.
If you don't need BofA's money to borrow you can try to get it elsewhere........I can hook you up with Guido, he has money to loan.................I'll bring the camcorder for when you decide not to pay him back............ya know, America's funniest videos!!!!!!!!!
I will never support a big bank ever again... BoA and Commerce are two of the absolute worst... local credit unions or i'll just throw my money in a jar in the back yard... at least that money is still guaranteed to be there in 10 years, tho I think the peso will be worth more than the dollar in 10 years.
Well when banks and mortgage co's commit fraud on an epic scale...people might get mad
Yeah if BAC was concerned about it's employees it wouldn't be foreclosing on so many homes in the first place!
Beating up on some low-level employee at Bank of America is not the answer.
And not paying your mortgage isn't either. I paid mine off. Why should someone else, who bought a nicer home than me, get a free ride? Foreclose, re-sell it, start over. Life does not end at foreclosure.
They are just houses, people. And we have plenty of houses.....
"Beating up on some low-level employee at Bank of America is not the answer."
I didn't see that part in the article. Must have missed it. I have seen lots of news on fraudulent tactics being used by banks though. There was even one where a guy took a BofA branch to court and foreclosed on them!!!
When I bought my house I qualified for $25,000 more than what I got a loan for. I knew that it would be difficult for me to make a payment that high, so I looked for something I could afford. It's pretty simple. A lot of people lost their jobs and can't afford their mortgage payment. Some just got more than they could afford. That doesn't mean that they should be able to keep their houses. Don't blame the banks for people not being able to pay their debts.
A class of sub-prime mortgage freeloaders has been created by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) using FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC and blessed by the Democratic liberal left wingers in Congress and the White House. The occupiers want free housing, free education and free health care.
Those of us in the American middle class who paid over many years for our homes, our education, our children's college educations and health care are upset with the occupiers demands for freebees for everything. We the middle class (the real 99%) did without new cars, vacations and iphones to pay our own way.
The occupiers scream Constitutional rights, while crapping all over taxpayer paid for public parks! Where are our Constitutional rights not to be blocked from working, forced into wealth redistribution by high taxes and over regulated by the federal government to satisfy these freeloaders.
Take a good look at what's happening in Europe where the freeloaders have destoyed the economic systems of countries where governments must now provide freebees to everyone using the other working citizens tax money.
Its not the millionaires that will be destroyed by the occupiers demands, but the American middle class.You can't make a loaf of bread for $1.00 and sell it for 50 cents to everyone!
Holy crap - you better stake out your claim on a forclosed house in your neighborhood. What an idea - just move into a vacant house and squat there until someone kicks you out! Hurry and get your before they run out!! Communism is coming to a neighborhood near you. They are even having home warming parties. Run don't walk to that house down the block and stake your claim. You're still reading this? Get moving now LOL!!
If you lent your buddy $100 you would expect to get paid back, right? Well, so do the banks. No one forced foolish consumers to get interest only loans or a three year arm mortgages. People wanted to borrow as much money as they could get. Heck, most people jumped into these loans head first without ever realizing what they were getting into. That is their fault for not doing thier homework.
Now that they have over extended themselves they blame the banks for coming to collect on the collateral that they agreed to pledge against the loan (a.k.a. their house). Quit your crying and pay your bills. The American credit card culture is killing us, not the banks.
IT'S NOT THE BANK'S FAULT THAT YOU WROTE A CHECK THAT YOUR BUTT CAN'T CASH! Boo-hoo.
If everything was done on the up and up you would be right. However (if you keep track of events) it has been proven people were mislead and in some instances lied to about their loans. Those making the loans then sold them (more lies) and ran with their share. Deregulation is what caused this mess. Guess who pushed through deregulation?
"Capitalism: God's way of determining who is smart and who is poor." ~Ron Swanson
Amen!
BoA = Bunch of Azzholes
I would be impressed if OWS occupiers would work on the property, clean it up, mow the lawns, paint and then catchup on the deferred payments. That would make the rest of the nation say; these are legitimate citizens with good intentions. But................not so!!!
Occupiers could show some sincerity of their movement if they would begin working for poor people and not expect to be paid. They could buy food, cook it, serve it, clean up afterwards, wash clothes, clean the apartments or trailer houses. Instead they waste money on tents, travel, eating out, etc.
I've got a ranch they can come to, they can buck hay, feed & move cattle, and a few other chores...........when I'm finished with them I may even say thanks! I've got a great spot along the river where they can cut underbrush and place their tents, I want them down there because I want to make sure they take baths......I've heard some rather disgusting stories about them so, that bathing issue is a must!!
"when I'm finished with them I may even say thanks!"
Try paying them. Maybe that's why your illegal workers left!!! Heh heh.
@Roc---Occupy groups regularly feed and clothe the homeless. And here in SC, the Occupy Columbia group just spent the weekend voluntarily cleaning up the Rocky Branch creek to encourage the development of a greenway, in Atlanta OWS "occupied" a police officers home that was in foreclosure, subsequently saving her house...these a just a few examples of the good things OWS has been doing around the country. No one in OWS gets paid for anything. These are all good people from all walks of life helping out their fellow man not for profit, but because it is the right (and the Christian) thing to do.
BTW--I'm sorry if we smell offensive to you, It is just that most of our time is spent volunteering our time to work for the betterment of our communities, and forgoing the luxuries of home to camp out in protest to effect positive change in this country. Perhaps if we just stayed at home and made wry comments on the computer, we would smell better. But then again hard working people don't always smell like roses. As someone who owns a ranch, I would expect you to know that.
Molly, I like the challenge; "the Christain thing to do." That'll be sure to rub some of our evangelicals the wrong way. No one likes the pain of truth when they're not living it out.
Everyone knows Bofa Management does not care about it's employees.....
The only concerns of Bofa Management is how to save their own hides...
They are working overtime scheming how to shift the blame to others, shredding documents, wiping hard drives on computers and servers, moving ill gotten gains offshore, working with the Politicians they own to cover their tracks....damage control
When it's all said and done the 1% will blame Governments for allowing them to do the evil they did..
The 1% are the ones that should be corralled in Zuccotti Park holding signs stating the crimes they commited against the American people....
If BofA doesn't care about it's employees, my advice to them is find another job. It's not like they are on a union gravy train.
Any links to back up your claim or is it just being made up
I hate to be living next door to one of them houses!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Property values would drop to zero with the Organized.Wacko.Society even in the neighborhood
Fidel Castro must be proud of the OWS movement. They are doing the same thing he did.
@PWD--what is OWS doing that Castro did? Please explain.
Occupy protesters are morons that have no respect for anything!!! Period!! They don't even know why they do what they are doing - Basically nothing! None of their business to interfere with business life and housing. Just look at them - Parasites of society.
@gdvegas---No offense, but I don't think the problem is OWS not knowing what THEY are doing, I think that YOU do not know what OWS is doing, what they are about, what they stand for, and the good things that they have done in their respective communities and the help they have provided to their fellow citizens.
But I am sure if you ask really nicely, someone here will gladly cite examples of what OWS stands for, examples of the good work they do, and the noble professions of many of its members such as teachers, doctors, retired military and some police officers (unless you think that those professions constitute "parasites")
