PASADENA - A group of about 50 protesters overcame security and jumped turnstiles Thursday afternoon to commandeer the corporate headquarters of OneWest Bank.

Members of Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and the Service Employees International Union set up tents and blocked off employee elevators for several minutes chanting loudly in support of Rose Gudiel, who is on the brink of being evicted from her La Puente home.

The animated group ignored police requests to leave the private property until bank Vice President Brandon Latman agreed to meet with Gudiel and her family.

That's all I needed to read. Thugs, in my opinion.

Still very quiet.
Only the one reply.
Got a hunch the "protesters" are no longer on the premises.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Yeah, I was expecting this to take off like wildfire at the DUmp.  I guess they don't care when someone actually takes it to the Man.

We have our fair share of these ingrates up my way too. Remember this one?

http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/Rochester-Woman-Evicted-Again/i7gBEMwOmUKONvvFGP1Y6A.cspx

Evicted last winter for not paying her mortgage, moved back in with the help of street rabble organizers, evicted again while T.V. news cameras rolled and the organizer hippies protested. Guess what? Yup,  moved back in again and is now being evicted a third time just this week!

Notice the white couple sitting on the steps at 00:58, particularly the chick in the red hat, recognize her?

That's Emily Good, arrested for video taping police from her front yard while they conducted a traffic stop. The story went national. Charges against her were dropped and she is now suing the city. The guy with her is her boyfriend, Ryan Acuff, leader of the activist group "take back the land" that is backing these squatters who move back into their foreclosed homes after they've been evicted.
