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.

That applies to shooting at someone. Para-Ord.45 was asking about shooting into the sky, and with a shotgun (presumably loaded with shot, not a slug.) This is still a violation because at least in CA it is illegal to discharge a firearm in an incorporated area, and I presume the banker doesn't live on a ranch. However I think he wouldn't be charged for that because he had a valid reason to shoot, and he called the police already.
Cops are union people...
SEIU - Obama’s ARMY, 2.2 million strong.
What it up with that? Do we release our angst on web sites like Free Republic so that we feel or suppose we have accomplished some good thing?
NEVER GIVE UP! We are behaving like wussies, cowards, weaklings, and LOSERS. if we let all this stuff slide much longer it will be true. WE ARE LOSERS.
God help us, in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
It’s very apparent to anyone with more than a gnats attention span that when Democrats are in power, that can’t help themselves and go straight for crushing liberty.
As an American citizen you cannot open an account at BOA without a US govt issued ID.
As an illegal you can use your mexican ID.
Were there any arrests?
I’m of the thought that I only discharge a firearm at the range and at someone I intend to kill.
Warning shots will only get you in trouble.
I hate the BOA, but I hate the actions of the SEIU even more. You are right though, they are attacking one of their own, the BOA was probably the first in the country to offer services to illegals.
This is a typical Richard Trumka terror event. Trumka must be destroyed
Perhaps there needs to be some cross burning retaliation
This is what Obama ordered. Get in their faces.
So that’s what they do.
Happy now jackasses who voted for this man and brought this misery to America?
Beck talked about this today.
‘I hate the BOA, but I hate the actions of the SEIU even more.”
Agreed
Of course, here they would have had the entire neighborhood covering their backs too.
Yeah, that works until someone gets hurt trying not to sink. Get a clue, those days are going fast.
According to Stuwart Varney, the democrats are quietly gathering support for a bill to bail out union pension funds to the tune of some $168 billion.
THEY BETTER GET THAT BILL PASSED BEFORE NOVEMBER!
ya know what I mean?
Likely not successfully.
Generally speaking, (laws vary), on private property, citizens have fewer rights, but they still must exhibit violent intent before you can use lethal force.
They must enter the residence without permission, ideally breaking a lock, door or window, or employ a deadly weapon against the residence from outside. Either establishes intent and fear for life.
A group that agrees to, travels to, and trespasses upon private residential property establishes a conspiracy and each is responsible for the criminal acts of the other. This does not apply to public property.
Persons acting peaceably outside, and not attempting to enter a private residence are trespassing and can be arrested and prosecuted for that, but must put the resident in fear of his life to be legally shot.
I thought the same thing, but there were just too many of them. Besides, it didn’t sound like the police were very helpful. You’ve got perhaps 300 people to confront, and no desire to kill presumably unarmed people. Bad sit, right there. I’d get my kids, sneak around the back and hope to toss a “cocktail” in one of their idling buses as a distraction to help get the hell out of Dodge. Sad to say, we’ve got to start planning for such things, as long as the inmates are running the asylum.
True enough. Exactly what you said. But Bush was Hitler. Or so we’re told.
