Occupy Oakland rushes Chase bank-October 22, 2011

[dannyscottburr]

@ataturk What the hell do you think Scott Olsen was? The Oakland Occupy marches have been full of former Marines... But then I wouldn't expect anyone who hasn't actually BEEN to a march and only listens to mainstream media would know that...

[greyfox37]

If these are people that are working for my "best interests" in mind through harassment, segregation and policing in their own camps, drug use, and even illegal commerce, I think I'd rather deal with the fur protestors

[thevbat]

War vets support the occupy movement , Marines support the occupy movement. you fucking weak lame commie bastards who sit at home and wank off to porn and criticise people actually doing something should fuck off out of here. you unpatriotic assholes you are NOT wanted here

[atarturk]

@thevbat No Marine I know agrees with Occupy. I sure don't. Don't associate the military with Occupy just because a couple vets were harassed.

[thevbat]

@atarturk if you type in marines support occupy you get a list of sites you can read. As far as i know enlisted Marines can't voice an opinion but ex Marines can . The enlisted military do swear this though I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, .While they may not support the movement they do support the constitution which occupy and many other groups operate under

#1 The bank should have never qualified me. #2 The mortgage broker who the bank worked with should have told me what the amount would have been had I not refinanced the home. Instead, they bamboozled me with the "teaser" monthly payment, and like many homebuyers, I purchased the home. The bank had the obligation to not qualify me. I didn't have them at gunpoint either. The bank thought they were gonna profit off of my foreclosure, and they didn't. Know what you're talking about before you talk.

[ajmacdonaldjr]

No good will ever come from a movement based upon anger and resentment, as the Occupy Movement is. This is the fruit that has sprung from the anger the Occupy Wall Street participants are nurturing within their hearts.

[TheCuZsJuSt]

These protesters are chasing what matters. its called FREEDOM!! the people at these banks need to get a new job, I am tired of them making money off my money. All banking institutions are full of moochers. they loan money to members from other members accounts and they make tons of money. they Produce nothing. FUCK CHASE BANKS and any other bank.

[phpeters87]

@TheCuZsJuSt - Fuck You. These protestors are idiots, as are their supporters.

[ludo123usa]

F*cking cowards. Harassing lowly paid branch employees and throwing paper around. Poor, spoiled, whiny, pathetic losers.

[TheCuZsJuSt]

@ludo123usa you are the real coward, and very uneducated about what banks do to Innocent people everyday around the world. They make money off the members money, they produce nothing!! the whole banking system is a scam, they are the worst kind of criminals in the world. they buy politicians with your hard earned money and make rules and laws that benefit them. you call these protesters cowards when you sit back and do nothing except talk shit ! shame on you. get in where you fit in!! bitch

[AppleCore2d]

I am for the occupy movement, but not going in the banks... I feel like this movement has a lot of followers and not enough leaders. Leaders need to be having sit downs with key people, and helping to promote an ammendment to the constitution that would prevent the corporations from buying our politicians in the future.

[MrHumphries70]

Let's not terrorize the terrorists overseas but, rather, let's terrorize $11 per hour bank tellers? Really? If the "Occupy" movement wanted to enact change, then they need to buy stock in companies and attend shareholder meetings where they would have a voice to speak directly to other owners and company officers. The Occupiers have done nothing more than prove how moronic they are to me and millions of other Americans. BTW...Google "Occupiers backed by Communists and Nazis". Fun, huh?

[cheechanchux]

Why cant it be like rome or syria!!!!!!!

[noremote]

In all seriousness, what do they hope to achieve by protesting here? Is this the Chase HQ?

[noremote]

Wouldn't it be funny if a protester used the ATM while at this bank?

[dannyc3747]

I agree. Only morons wouldn't understand the significance of this. Try accepting a foreclosure after a bail out. I work, pay taxes, bought a home, getting foreclosed and kicked out. The Bush and Obama regime initiate a bail out for the banks and a scam refinancing for homeowners to only fail to refinance an upside down mortgage. That's the major sell out, and politicians aid the banks in their thievery. Home ownership is not an American dream. It's a banker, realtor, and mortgage broker's scam.

[phpeters87]

@dannyc3747 - You bought something you couldn't afford. No one forced you to buy a home, probably one beyond your means, and when you were laid off or whatever, or your "ARM" went up, or your "interest only" loan came due and you had to make full payments & you thought you could flip the house, or when your house went "upside down" because you bought when the housing market was overpriced, you refuse to take responsibility for your actions & blame others.

The only one to blame is in the mirror.

[gbmama]

Banks got bailed out and these people got sold out? How? If they are against capitalism (not my quote, read their signs), then presumably they are not participants in capitalism (e.g. don't pay taxes and don't use debt from evil banks to buy homes, if they own homes). If they don't use debt and don't pay taxes, then they didn't really get sold out or lose anything from the process. Job holders, taxpayers & business owners--now those are the people who get screwed from a corrupt government.

[ukiahcat]

No vandalism here... just paper being thrown around... heck CEOs throw paper around their offices all the time with their so called stressful work. 

[TheLIGHTinMYwindow]

To the morons who do not understand the significance of this, don't bother commenting, and take notice, they cleaned up after themselves, if you could have watched to the end you would have seen that. The bank employees know the anger is not directed at them, in fact they are probably cheering in their hearts!

[TheLIGHTinMYwindow]

Oakland is out shinning all the other occupations. Awesome.  Way to go! Fantastic!

[phpeters87]

@TheLIGHTinMYwindow Don't you mean "outshitting" the other occupations?

"Hey, let's storm the bank and throw a bunch of Deposit and Withdrawal slips around. That will make a statement and really show them!"

Meanwhile, low-paid bank workers had to clean up after these self-absorbed ninnies.

These people are idiots and will never amount to much more than Government-dependent parasites, living off of us hard-working taxpayers.

[ajmacdonaldjr]

Occupations = Invasions. OWS is an OTPOR operation. A staged, controlled, manufactured "revolution" run by the US gov't, CIA, and NGOs. Google: "ows otpor" and "the revolution business".

[rickamerson]

yep , they really made this whole occupy stuff stronger...rush into a bank , trash it then walk out....IDIOTS

[ReBeWyMmOt]

Out of all the towns participating in this "Occupy", its only fitting that Oakland will turn a peaceful protest into a riot. Oakland is the arm pit of this great country.

[buggsmalone]

bye bye banksters

[sergigahr]

yay they walked a huge mob into a bank and shouted at people with a shitty job if the possibility of getting robbed didnt suck now you got some stupid retards shouting in your face for somthin you really don't have a part of

[cyrusfx1]

@sergigahr

actually its probably the most interesting thing thats happened to them in years, so they are probably grateful.

[CapitalistOverlord]

@sergigahr They should care. If you're glad to have a shitty job, you're a complete fucking idiot.

[ReBeWyMmOt]

@CapitalistOverlord A job is a job buddy. Those employees are being a positive asset to themselves and society. You punks mobbed that bank because some stoner thought it was a good idea and then all the followers did the same. Thats all you are...a follower! a follower of something that you are fully not educated about.

[sergigahr]

@CapitalistOverlord you must be retarded to completely miss what was my point

[phpeters87]

@CapitalistOverlord At least these people have jobs and are trying to better themselves, unlike the OWS cretins who contribute nothing to society, and are costing taxpayers Millions of Dollars to clean up after their rioting and temper-tantrums.

They spent 4+ years getting a shitty degree in Liberal Arts and can't find a job, so they are pissed off and are demanding that their student loans be "forgiven" which means "paid for by taxpayers" and are regressing to child-like behavior. Way to go!

[glassandroid]

Congrats this is what we've been waiting for!

thanks everyone!

LOVE YOU ALL

November 5th - transfer your bank acct

[depro9]

why can't occupy chicago be this fucking amazing?

[angelwhite]

@depro9 our chase building is a bit bigger!

[utubenotgoodasgvideo]

@depro9

Stand up / Take back Chicago did pickets and civil disobedience at several banks including Chase. There were masses of people that entered banks and bankers' conferences and were arrested. Bank of America had trash dumped on it. Chase was presented with a bill for neighborhood cleanup of it's foreclosed slums. Occupiers were arrested at the mortgage bankers conference.

[phpeters87]

@utubenotgoodasgvideo - "Civil Disobedience" is just a BS word for engaging in criminal behavior.

I hope they break out the fire hoses and teach these idiots a lesson in manners when they throw these temper-tantrums that you call "civil disobedience"

There is nothing Civil about these OWS douchebaggers.

[nasachusetts]

Thats how its done

[dano1881]

what an absolute bunch of cunts.

[depro9]

@dano1881 not really LULZ

[angelwhite]

@dano1881 I agree, that's our money they got bailed out with.
