What i got from this is that this was a very well organized protest with an intention of forcing the issue.

I got this because those outside were talking about contacting the "national lawyers" and all those arrested giving names to one person who would then text the "national lawyers".

There was also someone inside the bank giving signals and showing something written on his arm to someone outside to this effect.

total set up to make Citibank look like the bad guy.

Sorry im not buying this. This was a well organized event by some anarchists.

Most don't realize they are probably doing the employer a favor since they are the least productive workers who only have a job because it's too much bureaucratic headache to kick them to the curb where they belong. I find it amazing that so many oddly dressed people decided to close their accounts at exactly the same time and place.

If they had the balls to openly admit they were there to cause trouble, I might have some respect for them but instead they hide behind some BS cover story to, as they always do, try to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions.
You hit the nail on the head my friend. Your right, they don't have the balls to admit openly what their intentions really were. And this is a BS cover story, with spoiled brat like people, who refuse to take responsibility for their own stupid actions.

Excuse me? That was definitely schemed (organized is most definitely not the right word to describe that little Cluster F...) but not particularly well. In fact it was sloppy and discombobulated from it's beginning. I'll thank you to please stop insulting the Anarchists as they tend to be far more efficient.

LOL! go back and watch again, they got what they wanted and they didnt show any of the protest that led up to the lockdown.


"call the national lawyers"


These occupy people are backed by powerful interests that want something.

I'll tell ya what happened. They walked in the bank, and began to openly protest. The bank employee asked them to leave, immediately. They refused.

Law broken, end of story.

If they REALLY felt the need to spit in the faces of these banks, they should have done it this way. Walk into a bank, throw up their signs, say something, and as soon as they tell them to leave, LEAVE, and go to the next bank. wash, rinse, repeat

THAT is legal. Annoying, but legal.

I agree. The instigators are likely on the payroll as are most activists, but like most demonstrators no matter the cause, most are hapless idiots just being led around by the nose.

Oh and one more thing for you Occupy loving folks. The chick in question had her "paperwork" with her. NOBODY goes to the bank with their "paperwork".

She had that in hand to make a scene and make it look like Citibank was arresting her for closing her account and "see here is my proof Immacustomer".

I hope she gets locked up with a puking drunk.

In the video you can see the cop asking someone to go back inside. The report released by the bank says that and more.
