Enough! - Protesters at AIG in LA

Join the Stop War Project: http://outinthestreetfilms.com

March 19, 2009, Los Angeles, 5:PM - LA protesters outside of AIG were just as concerned about the billions and trillions of bailout dollars as they were about the $165 million in AIG bonuses. They listed three demands from Congress:
1) Pass the Employee Free Choice Act
2) Affordable Health Care for All (citing that 55 million Americans are uninsured)
3) Strong Banking Reform.

They then proceeded to the front doors to ask that the top AIG executives come down to accept their reality check, where they were held back by numerous AIG security personnel. They chanted: Bring them down, AIG you cant hide. We can see you greedy side, and AIG has got to go. They were then informed that the people in the building left early after hearing of the nationwide protests, and that no one was there to see them. They responded with a chant of Dock their pay, followed again with AIG you cant hide.

Just reported -protesters are bought and paid for by the corrupt ACORN group. They pay poor people who do not even have a 401K just to intimidate other people and companies.

Remember your tax money is supporting ACORN to use muscle to intimidate companies and create corrupt elections.

Your Democrat congress is paying ACORN.

So where do I sign up to get my cut? I was there! I want my freakin' money!

While AiG are the cause of the economy mess, the Congress and WH Admin are just adding to the mess.

They have spent 3 trillion dollars is 3 months.

$89000 per tax payer.

These protesters are just drinking the kool aid that the Congress and WH are giving out. A bunch of sheep being led to the slaughter.

They do protest Congress. They make three demands from them. read the text or actually watch the video.

I only just came across this... sad that there were only so few prepared to make a stand, in such a metropolis like L.A.

In a year or so, I won't be surprised to see thousands outside these corporate megaliths. We're fast approaching 'critical mass '.

AIG Executives: please correct the destruction you all have created, for the evil lust that was used to steal from millions of innocent families while wiping out their life savings & incomes. Will not one of you step forward & be a man? Or will you all hide like rats, feeling safe that your ill-gotten wealth will save you?

move to Venezuela it seems to be going so well there. You could all the things you seem to want.

While AIG bonus of 165 mil is way too much, the protesters need to focus on the present corrupt Congress. Passing bills that will be spending 3 trillion tax dollars in 3 months is complete incompetence or corruption.

ACORN needs to be investigated by Congress for organized voter corruption, but that will not happen with this Congress since the Democrats close their eyes.

You want to throw sticks & stones, go ahead. You should REALIZE that those welfare checks you've been receiving have tainted you to either ignore or support corporate greed, coruption & incompetence & ruined your respect for honest , INTELLIGENT workers with a willingness to work hard for success. You're a mess.

I bet you work at McDonalds or some similar job. You should realize that you only have a job because of a smarter,more educated, more able person than yourself. Your a fool if you dont undestand this concept already.

What are you, a drunkard? What did you do, pour Rush Limbaugh's coffee in your right ear? Have you had a recent stroke? Yeah, we need more genius whoresluts like the ones that destroyed our country. According to douches like you, the dumbest, most incompetent, greedy slutters with a suit & tie get paid the most. Go ahead & walk into a group of people and spew that crap instead of hiding on YouTube. Before you can finish vomiting this idiocy someone will step over and break your mouth.
