Violent Leftists Raid NYC Bank & Takeover Lobby… Media Silent
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 3:15 PM
Violent Leftist Activists stormed a NY City bank this afternoon and took over the lobby.
The leftist anti-capitalist group stormed the bank, shut down operations, started chanting in the lobby and demanded homes and union jobs.
For some odd reason the state-run media does not report this as a “violent protest.”
(AP)
The AP whitewashed reported:
Noisy protesters with signs took over two bank building lobbies on Thursday in a prelude to a Wall Street rally by workers and union leaders angry over lost jobs, the taxpayer-funded bailout of financial institutions and questionable lending practices by big banks.
Hours before the scheduled rally, more than 100 people entered a midtown Manhattan building housing JPMorgan Chase offices. They handed a bank executive a letter requesting a meeting with the CEO, and chanted “Bust up! Big banks!” and “People power!”
A half-hour later, they were calmly escorted outside by officers, who remained expressionless as the protesters chanted, “The police need a raise.”
They then walked a few blocks up Park Avenue and crowded into the lobby of the Seagram Building, where Wells Fargo and the bank it merged with in 2008, Wachovia, have offices.
The protesters held up signs reading, “Save Our Jobs” and “Save Our Homes.” One included a Great Depression-era photograph. Police arrived on horseback as curious office workers watched the scene unfold from their windows.
“We’re here today to stop the corporate greed that is ruining our neighborhoods,” said Andrea Goldman, 59, of Springfield, Mass., who’s part of a group called Alliance to Develop Power.
Andrea Goldman is a co-chair of the shakedown group – Alliance to Develop Power. The Alliance to Develop Power/ADP of Springfield, MA has been successful at reclaiming social and economic power through cooperative economic development, resulting in the creation of business and capital holdings collectively valued at over $50 million.
JWF added: “Of course as we predicted earlier today nowhere is it mentioned this “diverse mixture” was organized primarily by an Obama “economic adviser” and assorted Obama-supporting groups.”

I wish I could send all these wannabe reds to a real socialist country.
All of them would piss themselves within 5 minutes.

This is an example of what the Tea Party is NOT.
This is an example of what you’d think the Tea Party was if you listened to the media.
This is what Democrats are hoping Tea Partiers will do, to substantiate the smears and slander they’ve launched agaisnt the Tea Party.
The reaction to this incident will be minimal, but were it Tea Partiers behaving like this you wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Sorry off topic, wonder if someone can answer my question.
This civil rights woman Height, I’ve never heard of but her funeral was a who’s who of liberal people.
The pall-bearers were MILITARY, is that normal?

Bunch of malcontent Marxists and homosexuals!
Just the kind of people Barack Hussein Obama reaches out to.

Hussein is covering up terrorist who blew up the oil rig. He sent swat teams to all the rigs.
MaggieL commented:
Now we know where ACORN (and their money) went.
Lord Basil commented:
Jo, does anything about Barry Soetoro strike you as odd anymore?
Everything he does is underhanded and nefarious, and I am scared for America.
This SWAT team could be part of the Civilian National Security Force the state run media won’t talk about, or even the secret 6000 man army talked about in the health care bill – another thing the state run media won’t talk about.
My fear is this:
Considering the massive thrashing traditionalists and hard traditionalists are going to give the Democrat Party in November, which will clip Hussein’s wings, I will predict that a “disaster” like this will be used by Hussein as a pretext for suspending these elections, and even imposing martial law.
There is no limit to what this Marxist homosexual will do.

Jo, calm down calm down. Janet Napolitano is in complete control. You can call her “Butch”
Lord Basil commented:
#11, Napolitano is Obama’s chief goon.
Remember her “report” that labeled all hard traditionalists as “right wing extremists.”
This is classic Alinsky – identify and smear your opposition as dangerous.
This is truly terrifying.
Olliander commented:
Yeah, these groups should be forcing these big banks to make home loans to the “disadvantaged” and urban individuals. This way everyone can buy a house that they’re entitled to!
Oh wait…

“Alliance to Develop Power”…..don’t you just love the names they come up with??
pm commented:
I think Lefties/community organizers have planned these protests to throw our society into chaos. This is their reason for being.
It’s what they’ve planned for some time now. May 1st will work nicely as well for them if it turns ugly. They’ll just keep ramping up the violence, most likely, if we keep resisting what they want to impose on us.
The Left knows what they do and what they’re guilty of (and what they’re planning) — so they get out in front of it. They provoke and/or point the finger at the innocent in order to produce or smear them with the very things they do.
They need the fools and the uninformed to think those who oppose them are the bad guys.
It explains the ridiculous display of force in Quincy and the weeks of outright lies and smears of the Tea Partiers.
But we will leave all the violence to them. The ugliness is theirs. Americans will come to see who’s right and who’s wrong.
The majority will stand with us.

they’re just doing what michelle told them too.
not a very highly paid career choice but obama
will help them out. i always though that it was weird to have michelle steering women away from lucrative jobs to poorly paid ones and barack using the same people as an example of
why he feels the need to share the wealth. of course obama couldn’t have bought his million dollar home on a community organizers check.

You know what’s classic Alinsky? Changing your name from Frank Sinclair to Lord Basil and trying to bait people.
Frank, you aren’t a moonbat….you’re a turd!
Go away.

Lord Basil?
That anything like little Lord Fondleroy, Frank?
wanumba commented:
“Activists” are just parasites. They don’t produce anything, they just agitate to take from other people or businesses.
This is the sin of covetousness being encouraged and amplified. And there are slimy “enablers” who encourage them to covet and then act on it by bullying to take other people’s wealth and property.
Bah!
Betsy Ross commented:
Sounds like Quincy riot police have a new venue ; )

Of my, the AstroTurf runs over … Weird how the lame stream media goes into hiding.
wanumba commented:
The chaos at election time will be “flash mobs” around polling centers, rioting and break ins like these. ALL LEFT Democrats, and expect the DOJ to ignore the pleas for arrests and control. The mob is just reflecting the will of the masters who will pretend they know nothing about it.
Obama and Odinga – Odinga sent the mobs out to beat and slaughter because he announced that his people (Luo) were “robbed” of the vote. Odinga said he not winning was like his people being MURDERED.
Talk about inflammatory rhetoric. Obama has already been associated with violent cheating and brutality to get a desired outcome at election time.

You mean because it was all so pointless?
As in, what on earth does going into a bank lobby and disrupting business have to do with attaining any perceptible goal? It’s a publicity stunt.

So if Obama, Gore, Goldman Sachs, Soros, scumbuckets etc. are trying to force Americans to fund their CCX, why is Lindsay Graham so on board? Does he benefit financially too? Why is McCain so crazy about it? Or is he just crazy? I’m calling Graham’s office tomorrow to find out why he’s pushing cap ‘n trade so hard. I hope Madoff doesn’t mind having roomies.

wonder if obama will send in a swat team once their done with those nasty mean elderly woman and little childrenn in Ill /

Swat teams are for grandmas, not commies.
And every time I think of George Bush calling grandmas on the border with binoculars “vigilantes”, I think, he didn’t have a hair on his ass. He should have called out the swat teams!
Andreas K. commented:
Chaos is what the left wing wants. Has been like this since Marx wrote his crap and the first movements in 1848.
“questionable lending practices by big banks”
Hmm, what about questionable political interference in the lending practices by banks in general? Namely the really “smart” idea by the Clinton administration (together with the Dems in congress and senate), which aimed at the “goal” that everybody should be able to buy a house and led to banks being forced to handing loans and mortgages out to everyone? Which, in exchange, was instrumental for the start of the current “financial crisis”?
No word about that, eh?
I still want to send those buggers to North Korea. Kim Jong Il would most likely send them to concentration camps right away. They’re not “pure” enough after all and would pollute the “national bloodline” there.

Chippy commented:
I think today in NYC was all about financial reform Obama style. Saturday, May 1st (anarchy day) will be about immigration reform. Obama and the socialists are organizing with radicals and the unions. This will go on thru the summer. Also, that rig blowing up? Got to be something nefarious there. Keep your eyes open. I am.
wanumba commented:
Be nice if the banks and busiensses would sue these people for trespassing and loss of business, blocking customers from entering and creating a “hostile environment” for potential customers.
But they don’t. At $50 million Alliance to Develop Power would normall be considered a “deep pockets,” wouldn’t it? Where are the lawyers when people need them?
StandYourGround commented:
You better be buying ammo cause this is your future under this communist administration. Anarchy and the establishment of Barack’s private army of these type of hooligans. Obama is dividing this nation to tear it apart. He is the Manchurian Candidate.(and the anti-christ)

Obama will be hit by family personal things this august. Yet, he will use May Day ( i May 2010) the communist day, to keep the narrative going that Republicans, conservatives, traditionalists are all racists and they should be marginalized at the polls ( and secretly killed). This regime put death panels into ObamaCare b/c most older folk are white-old people. That is why he had one-half a trillion cut from Medicade — the low grandma care. This is Marxist b/c the Unions, he supports do not have Medicade — they have something better. They have a more rich ObamaCare. The media is silent, but there is about 20-30 million illegals or undocumented persons in the USA. Even these palistine students are here on temp VISAs, and they never go home — except to join Jihad.

He’d better hurry if he wants to recruit, train, and arm a private army in time for it to do him any good. November is approaching.
By the way, it took the best military in the world six years to create the semi-decent Iraqi security forces, and that was starting with people who had experience. Who, exactly, is going to train Obama’s Army, which currently has zero experience since it doesn’t exist?
Aussie commented:
Lord Basil… or is that Frank Sinclair, making that statement to smear those who comment here is not acceptable.
Yes, I acknowledge that Dr. Utopia is a Marxist. It is the rest that is a slur because there are many gays who do not in fact support Dr. Utopia
Gnarly Steve commented:
This is like the last chapters of Atlas Shrugged…where the gimme-gimme bastards freeze and starve in the dark.
Capitalism is what people do when you let them alone. I am sick and tired of the “have nots” demanding that which they have refused to work for.
“Violent Protest” is what these drones do when the cow refuses to give free milk anymore. These slimy human cockroaches are beneath any intelligent person’s time and attention….and I do sincerely hope that every single one of them freezes and starves in the dark!
Gnarly Steve commented:
…and I will happily splash these cockroaches’ brains and guts all over the front porch when they try entering my house to “protest” and “redistribute” my family’s property. All that’s keeping this little party from a city near YOU is the fact that Obama hasn’t yet succeeded in stripping gun ownership from We The People. I won’t be there when/if that ever happens…I will have happily taken as many of his thugs as possible (one clip = 30 rounds, and I have a LOT of full clips!) with me on my way down.
Powder is dry.
LibsAreCommies commented:
The time has come to remove these corrupt CommieLib liars from power “By any means necessary”. They should be physically dragged from office and jailed for willfully violating the Constitution. I call on the U.S. Military to stage a good old-fashioned coup.
Liz commented:
Their intimidation tactics seem to work though. Didn’t their intimidation of banks who wouldn’t issue subprime loans get us here in the first place? Would it help to have our own protests of THEM at these events?
IrishAmerican commented:
Isn’t this what they did years ago to force the housing loans and even demonstrated at the banker’s residences. This is what got us where we are, is this an old story or are they still using the same tactics ?
