this story is gonna *** you off
i can't even tell you i was seeing red
when allied first went through this story
jeff olson lives in san diego and is a former congressional staffer
when the two thousand and a great recession hit he was against the
bailouts and he decided to take action to get his message out
so as a form of protest he purchased some sidewalk chalk you know the stuff
that kids use when they're playing
and hero quotes not big banks on the sidewalk outside of the bank america
buys house
and he also drew an octopus that holding cash it was some
silly symbolism the say they're taking all of our money is definitely a true
message
anne wrote some other things as well nothing profane nothing crazy
so he also
work to try to get a democratic congressman elected who promised to stop
corporate corruption
well one day after
uh...
the bank of america
non sorry
one day a bank of america vice president
derail freemen caught olson and threatened and granted he told him he
had his account cancelled which was a bad day for america is at a smaller
local bank that this guy had nothing to do it but it was threatening and
so a little wire loop violator olson was arrested and brought up on thirteen
charges of vandalism
and bank of america claimed defense
that he cost them six thousand dollars to clean up the sidewalks
okay ice all the pictures
ng cause it incall sixty
six thousand articles six dollars
it's seven seconds with the hallways is what it took
so this city attorney in the court document wrote this quote the people do
not fear that this reading of section five ninety four a will make criminals
of
every child using chalk trough as tools may still be permitted
his acting without malice may still engaging there are
circumventing the rules without permission onto the color of night and
now waving a banner of the first amendment
does not mandate the fact that the face min a car
a private business up a real and substantial monetary damages and the
defendant is responsible
so you know he's facing
of thirteen thousand dollar fine
and up to thirteen years in jail
they're throwing the book and
now compare that to
the crimes of the people who brought down the economy to people on wall
street
how many wall street executives have been charged
zero
zilch
doughnut
so k goldman sachs for example what they did is the uh... packaged sub-prime
mortgage about loans sold them to client saying it's greater than a lot of money
and they turn around i guess the
clear case of fraud they said this product was gonna be good they knew was
shooting in the bet against them in a made money in two different ways
but no note it was arrested for that
have elevator are harder taxpayer dollars in the form of a bailout
and then bonuses to this email to bank under the corporations
the less people should be getting bonuses they should be getting pink
slips right
note not only brought up on that
how about when they
private jet citigroup after they took our money bought new private jets
nobody brought up on that how about when the re modeled our offices to the tens
of millions of dollars with our money
nobody brought up on that
but for a dude who draws with chalk on the sidewalk to protest
protected under first amendment free speech rights nano but he goes to jail
but all the wall street bankers who committed the greatest crimes and the
list goes on a lot of all the different crimes they committed
they're free to go
welcome to the corporate states of america
