This action proves that OWS is out for blood in Seattle and Oakland.
All this movement in Seattle shows me is that what Lerner planned from the beginning is taking place and the Dem Governor of Washington won't try to stop any of it.

Lerner and his bosses had this thing planned right from the start and the useful idiots are allowing themselves to be used to keep it going.

Progressive Seattle knows how to hold violent riots/protests. Was it the G8 when Clinton was in office where downtown Seattle turned so violent?

Yep I just watched that and they are right on course. Obama and Trumka of course are in the middle of it.

Citizen's arrests can be made for commission of some crimes but these people were trying to do a citizens arrest for no crime that I can see yet. Yep, you left leaning people see wrongs of all kinds but no crimes, it seems. Do some more studying and remember that your expert from Bloomberg never did say that he had committed a crime. If the SEC can find something that they can fine the company for they won't be trying him for anything.

Most progs here won't be taking part in this discussion since they don't want to have to have things like that last Seattle left leaning thing brought up. It is all planned by Lerner and his friends and we will have to just watch it all until we get up to the point where martial law is proclaimed by Our Glorious Leader.

Long before the Seattle riots occurred during the WTO meeting, there was a general strike in Seattle in 1919 which was the closest that America came to having a workers' revolution, and was violently suppressed. There is a long tradition of strikes and protests in Seattle.

There are no resources being used to prosecute the crimes of Wall Street. (So much for any theories about the Obama Administration being in on OWS, if that was the case than Dimon, Blankfein, Pandit and all the rest would be in prison).

And that site isn't "left-leaning" unless you consider Ron Paul to be a leftist.

Talk to Holder. He's too busy covering his butt for the fast and furious nonsense though. If Obama had any brains he'd start firing everybody left and right or asking them to step down to make it appear he's trying to do something to fix the mess he created. They are the ones pulling the strings though.

Well, that isn't exactly true. Another hedge fund manager went to jail last week. I think the real problem is that there were no crimes committed but that the laws on the books allowed what happened with the mortgage derivatives to be done. Legalized crime, if you will. Our government actually allowed the "too big to fail" to become even bigger in order not to fail after the 2008 crash.

So, what specifically did Dimon personally do that warranted a "citizens arrest" by members of the OWS movement? Why hasn't OWS filed some kind of class action lawsuit against specific wall street entities if crimes are being committed?

You are correct. They are following the law so no "crimes" are being committed. Who made the laws are the criminals. Folks are howling about the wrong crew. Like blaming the Gambino's for a Colombo family murder.
