Obama-Endorsed Occupy Oakland Goons Storm Bank & Vandalize the Lobby (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, October 24, 2011, 12:15 PM
The Democrats must be VERY PROUD.
The Obama-endorsed Occupy Oakland goons stormed a local Chase Bank and threw papers around in the lobby.
IndyMedia posted video:
Indymedia reported: After marching from Oscar Grant Plaza and around Lake Merritt on October 22nd, Occupy Oakland occupiers and supporters stopped in front of the Chase Bank branch on Lakeshore Avenue. Demonstrators began to stream into the bank, filling the branch and chanting, “Chase got bailed out, we got sold out.” Bank withdrawal and deposit slips were thrown into the air and within a few minutes demonstrators exited the bank and returned to the thousand-plus marchers in the street.

Hey, GOP, hope you’re watching TV, blogs for all this footage.
This is the target-rich environment with which to show the Dems exactly as they are. Lawless, uncontrolled, rage-filled. Tie all of this to Obama. This is what Dems are unleashing on us.

Where is Obama warning that this is definitely risky and illegal behavior???
CRICKET CHIRPING. America burning…
FedUp commented:
At what point do we stop enabling these twits and start putting them in jail with REAWL prison terms. Peaceful demonstrations are supposed to be the norm – this has deteriorated into wilful civil disobedience, not to mention destruction of property. There should be ZERO tolerance for this behavior!
LIndensant commented:
Where’s the police in this town? Hey, maybe Joe is right. He should change his speech and say: “If the “Jobs” Act is not passed then there will not be policemen able to respond to thugs and anarchists invading , disrupting and vandalizing banks”.

Odd how well the videos from Oakland play so well next to Kenneth Anger’s Pleasure Dome. As the bank riot video reaches the 25 second mark play this video in a parallel window …>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lygcUNigntA …watch closely how well the sounds , movement, colors , characters and motions match each other. The scarlet woman featured in Pleasure Dome was a witch named Marjorie Cameron who was the subject of ” Babalon Working ” …. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_Working …..a famous Thelema ritual conducted by John Parsons to give physical life to the Devil. Oakland is known as the Babylon of CA. People dabbled in whitcraft years ago and we are now harvesting the fruits of this evil.
Joe commented:
I have no sympathy for these nutty protester or these bailed out banks. A pox on both their houses.
Oakland_Worker commented:
Umm… Did you even watch the video? There’s no “storming” of the bank, there’s no tearing up of furniture, there’s just some chanting and tossing of deposit slips — which were eventually cleaned up by some of the demonstrators.
Libs Suck commented:
They should all head to Washington DC and storm the White House and Congress. Let’s see how the Secret Service handles that sort of rampage. Let em camp out on the White House lawn and let’s see if Obama sticks around.
Geoff K commented:
Oaktown is in the congressional district of Barbara Lee who regards the constitutional limits of federal power and the tripartite separation of those powers to be quaint relics of a minor historical aberration in which self- governance and reliance was once thought possible.
Maria commented:
I’m starting to think that some of banks are going to have to install a keycard system in order for employees and customers can safely work and bank. This is getting out of control, how long are we going to let these misguided idiots do what they want. Like I was out trying to have a nice night with my bf the other night and the Occupy St. Pete were walking around the block, banging on their drums chanting. Really the last thing I want is some idiots ruining a good night out disrupting dinners by chanting.

_________________________________________
1. They want “Wall Street” to be held accountable for….something.
Most of the protesters are simply following President Obama’s lead, attacking the unnamed, faceless, man of greed trading on others’ misfortunes. The country is run by a cabal of Gordon Geckos, in their telling of it.
Wall Street, as the protesters have learned from the president, is an easy target. There is no leader on Wall Street, no single entity pulling the strings. To the contrary, millions of individuals daily make transactions they believe to be in their own interest, including labor unions and pension funds that the protesters admire.
As they attack the greed of large trading firms and banks, they demand that wealth be transferred to them.
2.The protesters want a “fairer distribution of wealth and taxes.”
It is the logical next step from the vague insistence that bankers be held accountable. One would assume that they want corporations to pay more in taxes, and they less. Yet if we believe their stories of despair, they likely pay no federal income taxes at all.
Again, taking their cue from Obama, who introduced America to the “Buffet Rule,” the occupiers assume that economic woes are caused by others’ financial success. If only they could take from people who have made a lot of money and give it to those who, instead of looking for a job or work to create something marketable, have decided to squat in downtown parks of major cities across the country.
When rich people want to make money, it’s called greed. When protesters want to take money the call it fairness.

#9: So that makes it alright?
If someone did this to my house the floors would be littered with bodies regardless of their “intent” and clean-up efforts…
The libtards are pushing the envelop. This will eventually leads to real violence. Hopefully the first casualties aren’t innocent bystanders.
Patty commented:
3. They want well-paying jobs. LOL WHAT! This reminds me of someone sitting on the couch waiting for someone to come to their front door to hire them.
Without regard for the conditions that incentivize job-creation, this demand would require firms (including corporations, the epitome of evil) to make available jobs that are not necessary. In other words, the protesters would force businesses to pay them for doing work that doesn’t need to be done, taking money away from people or projects that are profitable.
They probably haven’t thought about how businesses might offset the burdensome cost of their generosity: raising prices on consumers.
4. They want forgiveness of their student loan debts.

I’m pretty sure that Chase didn’t ask for but was told that they had to take the bailout.
Also I’m pretty sure that whatever they were given has been paid back with interest.
Bottomline these people should be arrested and charged.

If Chase doesn’t press charges, I have no sympathy. These banks have to be ready to press every charge imaginable if one of these OWS slobs so much as looks at them cross eyed. Otherwise someone working for them is going to get hurt or worse.

don’t these people support the politicans(like obama)that did the bailouts?
how many of these people do you figure are taxpayers? theylook like the dole vote. the working people have had their income confiscated by liberal politicans to bailout people like this for their entire life.
squeaky commented:
[[When the government first announced its intention to plow funds into the nation’s banks in October 2008 to resuscitate the financial system, many expected it to lose hundreds of billions of dollars. Two years later TARP’s bank and insurance investments have made money, and about two-thirds of the funds have been paid back...]] now, that was a year ago.

John Fembup commented:
“Chase got bailed out, we got sold out.”
I have a few questions.
Is THAT the beef? I don’t think it’s important that these demonstrators may have cleaned up after themselves. I do think it’s important to ask if they are angry because they did NOT get what the banks got–a bailout?
And so the next question is . . . would they accept a bailout?
And if the answer to that Q is yes, then why are they mad at “the banks” for accepting a bailout? Why not mad at the administration that bailed out “the banks”?
Or, if the demonstrators’ answer is no they would not accept a bailout for their own debts . . . then what ARE they talking about anyway?
Maybe not talking about anything, really, just gatehring at a street party for a good time sticking it to the Man by throwing deposit slips into the air and chanting?
Solidarity and all that, I’m sure.
squeaky commented:
“… would they accept a bailout?” quite possibly some of these folks are indeed being bailed out but more along the lines of government assistance.

I don’t see one American flag in the mob…and that is a good thing. Drudge reporting a drive by stink bomb tossed at Occupy Maine…14 year old girl molested at Occupy Dallas.
RETIRED LAWYER commented:
Most states make it a felony to enter and remain in a bank while masked, either with a bandana/scarf or a actual mask, for obvious reasons, ie., prelude to a bank robbery.
Notice how many of these characters violate that rule, presumptively to avoid being ID’ed on film.
Have you guys noticed how many OWS supporters/bots keep showing up on this site to respond to OWS coverage ?

2012 Pres. Candidate Rick Perry: I Don’t Know If Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Real
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/10/presidential-candidate-rick-perry-i.html
The fact is NOBODY knows if Obama’s Birth Certificate is real since Obama has done EVERYTHING humanly possible to keep the alleged Birth Certificate from being FORENSICALLY EXAMINED.
As many twenty computer and document experts have examined the PDF Copy of Obama’s alleged Birth Certificate and they have all declared it a likely forgery.
The Birth Certificate and Obama’s eligibility is EXTREMEMLY IMPORTANT. Any one who would try to minimise the significance of this is issue is an absolute MORON and a TRAITOR.

I would like to see those Oakland scum buckets gang-rush my business and try to vandalize the place. Without going into any detail, let’s just say that the result (for the trespassing invaders) would not be pretty.
But then, I’m in a state where self-defense is still legal. In Kalifornia, the mobs are pretty sure that no one will dare stop them.

No good will come of this lawlessness.
Eye Witness Account commented:
As a relative of an employee at this branch, there was more than just deposit slips thrown up in the air. These are the things not captured on their videos: they overturned tables and chairs, they busted up an outside ATM machine, they terrorized customers and employees who were inside the branch, the threw and shattered a glass container that left glass shattered across the floor, they yanked the door open as an employee was trying to lock the doors, and they tore the cables off of two computer keyboards (one at the customer service desk and one at the first personal banker desk). All that was needed was a little spark for this protest to turn violent towards the people in the building.
Oakland_Worker is correct in that there were 4 or 5 people after the police kicked the majority out who tried to start cleaning things up saying we didn’t mean to do this. For some reason they were upset when the police and employees asked them to leave…. Well, if you didn’t mean to do it, then why were they (the ones who said they wanted to help clean up) the first ones who ran into the building and leading the crowd?? The majority of what was on the floor was – shattered glass and hundreds of deposit slips, paper, business cards, and other bank materials. Please don’t comment on things that you didn’t see or experience! You have no clue as to what you are talking about. This was not a “peaceful” protest.
LIndensant asked about the police. The police were outside letting the protestors do what they wanted. Their police cars outside the bank before protestors ever entered. Police were called, but it still took them awhile to get into the banking center. Their only response was: “you should have closed the doors sooner” as if the employees were at fault for working (to support their families) and not being able to shut the doors quickly enough – even though the door was ripped out of one employees hand as they were trying to shut the door. … In addition, the police had to use their batons to keep the door shut because it wouldn’t lock properly after they jerked the doors open. Even after the police got the doors shut, people were still pulling on the doors and hitting the glass.
As someone who might have had sympathy for this movement before, I have no sympathy now. Protesting is one thing. Vandalism is another.

What a bunch of far right folks comment here. Are you unacquainted with the actual “tea party” in which a boat load of tea was dumped into Boston Harbor. You would probably side with the
Monarchy over the budding US citizenry in that “demonstraton”. The protestors are acting on their first amendment rights to assemble and seek redress from their government. There has been no violence demonstrated on their part. only on the part of the police authorities when bribed by JPMorgan. Go ahead put your little lives on the line for the 1% and see what they give you in return. The tax bill for the bullets they shoot you with. Don’t attempt to make this Obama’s issue, he is just as much a bought personage as were any of the Republican apologists for the looting of the US treasury since Reagen took office. WE ARE THE 99% AND WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY.
