As Occupy Wall Street Reaches Banks in Midtown, Paper Planes & nameless letter takers, Grand Central

TIMES SQUARE, October 28, updated with video -- Taking the Occupy Wall Street protest into Midtown to deliver victimized consumers' letters to Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and others, a march moved west on 42nd Street on Friday, surrounded by police.
At Bank of America on Sixth Avenue, the letters were delivered in the form of paper airplanes addressed to "missing" CEO Brian Moynahan. Video here, and below.
Then the march, complete with two mock pirate ships, continued west to Times Square. Here on a recent Saturday night, riot cops and police horses kept protesters pinned down on either side of Broadway.
On Friday in broad daylight, the march moved north to Morgan Stanley where a song was sung. An invitation was extended to Morgan Stanley's honchos to come have lunch down near Liberty Square; jokes were made about Chase CEO Jaime Dimon. The east again to Park Avenue, where JPMorgan Chase sits on 48th Street --
there, an official came out and accepted letters, as shown here, but wouldn't give him name. Later some joked maybe he didn't even work for Chase. http://www.innercitypress.com/ows1bofams102811.html
They just had a squawky protest at Yale as Morgan Stanley is recruiting - they recruit Harvardees and Yalies, M.S gets millions of dollars in bailouts from a yale/harvard controlled govt, MS lays off thousands, Yale kids involvement in local politics is a tell tale sign of just what is asked of them at MS : Ballot fraud,illicit campaign contributions,fake names , vote early vote often ...

SO, WHY ARENT THE COPS ARRESTING THE BANKERS?

that guy taking letters from the crowd was nothing more than a poster boy for the banks. Do you honestly think the banks are going to send anyone of importance to greet the protestors? Im sure all letters were thrown away immediately once the protestors left.
