This was planned for some time by the SEIU as part of a larger national event, their Showdown on K Street, which was shared with National People’s Action and thousands of other activists from MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups.
Prior to the main event on K Street in Washington DC, SEIU and company made a little pit stop. According to Fortune magazine Washington editor Nina Easton, 14 busloads of riled up protesters unloaded on Baer’s private property and stormed up to his doorstep, while his teenage son was home alone. Easton is a neighbor of Baer’s and had called to check on her neighbor’s son when she heard and saw all the commotion outside. Easton writes,
“Waving signs denouncing bank “greed,” hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer’s steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer’s teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. “When are they going to leave?” Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.
Baer, on his way home from a Little League game, parked his car around the corner, called the police, and made a quick calculation to leave his younger son behind while he tried to rescue his increasingly distressed teen. He made his way through a din of barked demands and insults from the activists who proudly “outed” him, and slipped through his front door.
“Excuse me,” Baer told his accusers, “I need to get into the house. I have a child who is alone in there and frightened.”
Imagine what you would have done if your child were inside that house and that mob was on your front lawn as you tried to reach him.

Biggest criminals are the govt along with Fred and Fannie allowing and encouraging everyone and his uncle to qualify for a loan for a house. Do you think everyone that applies for a credit card should get one? The govt and it’s policies are the most culpable in this mess. Folks like Dodd and Frank who helped craft the policies and benefited by them should be prosecuted in my view.
one more charge, terrorism, like the word you used to describe them.
Action number one: slash the tires on the buses....you want them to start thinking about their exit.
We could include Harvard Business School for educating the crooks.

“Why are publicly owned school buses being used for political thuggery like this?”
They probably chased the children off the bus using sharp sticks.
“So what would be on the news today had this been a tea party?”
BREAKING: Tea Party terrorists threaten to kill young boy over Obama taxes
Lying is so easy.
And now she's getting grief, Huffington-Puffington Post and others, for telling us about this act of domestic terrorism. This is outrageous! People must be miles away if they wish to responsibly protest an abortion clinic, but these goons, these thugs can come right up onto your porch, your PRIVATE PROPERTY and terrorize your child inside??
This is NOT my America. I'm getting sick and tired of the incredulous questioning on why it's being put, "We need to take our country back." This is why.
District of Columbia?
They would nail you to a cross.
You have lousy cops, or lousy laws. If this had happened where I live, the cops would have arrested them all without delay, and confiscated their truck.
Good job!!
there would have been some dead bodies if it were me and my house...
LMBO!!!!
“There is a reason that $hit does not happen here in Texas. “
Or in Arizona.
1) We are armed to the gills
2) The cops are on OUR side ;-)
That's not a threat by any means, it's just a fact. They want to drag the rest of us down to the level of animals? Fine, they'll get it. Then they'll probably whine and call for more government intervention when they get bit.
They protect government workers - among others. They're the front line of totalitarians in this country - the 'shock' troops.
I hope they pick up the trash when they leave out of respect for the neighborhood.
I want to know how and where they got the school busses??
