Video: 'Occupy' demonstrators storm Bank of America, TD Bank branches in downtown Amherst
The Republican ^

Posted on 11/18/2011 8:42:07 AM PST by matt04

The various "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations around the country declared Thursday to be a "day of action" in the ongoing protest of big banks and Wall Street policies that they blame for a sagging economy.

While thousands protested in Manhattan, Los Angeles and other cities, several hundred people took to the streets of downtown Amherst.

According to video supplied to The Republican by Julie Varney of Amherstwire.com, demonstrators assembled in front of Bank of New England branch at South Pleasant and Amity Streets.

At one point, the footage shows demonstrators storming into the bank lobby to disrupt business. After several moments, demonstrators crossed the street and repeated the action inside TD Bank.

The video concludes with police responding, and protesters marching out of the bank.

Amherst police Thursday night said there was no information about whether anyone was arrested.

From the comments:

My sister works at that branch. The hourly employees that are working to pay their bills and put a roof over their heads were swore at and threatened with violence by this group of unwashed hooligans. They damaged the ATM and lobby and threatened to burn the place to the ground. My sister said they had such hate in their eyes and is positive that many would commit murder for "the movement" without hesitation.

The violence, threats and destruction the Tea Party never committed is done by OWS and mostly ignored by the MSM.

Ya know I think it is almost toime for Americans to start taking the law into their own hands, since it seems the Police have no intention of stopping this crap.

Sadly, we even have some here defending these OWS punks (dealing with one on another thread now).

The problem is that the police are told to allow the Occupy Wall Street spoiled children to break the law. If these spoiled brats were arrested immediately and had to spend 6 months to 1 year in prison they would learn some consideration for others.

Until then, the spoiled children do whatever they want and the protests(or should I say temper tantrums) continue.

Welcome to Amerika, where our government promotes communist gangs running the streets in the name of whatever.

What the Hell is going on here?

The leftist pukes I went to UMass with are now tenured traitors there. The undergrad bums storming Amherst now are their literal and figurative children. I suspect the plurality are now "studying" for a degree in Social Justice and Victims' Studies. UMass needs to be defunded by the state badly.

is there a you tube video of this?

I can’t see the video due to the settings and blocks by the anti virus I have here.

Bank of America panders to illegal aliens. The faster they go belly up, the better.

Amherst, where UMass professor Jenny Traschen attended a town meeting about when to display flags in town and responded that the American flag is a symbol of terrorism and repression, etc.

About 12-13 hrs later, two jets that flew out of Logan
Airport in Boston flew into the Twin Towers.

frigging idiots, a bunch of kids who have never worked a day in their life wanting a revolution and one turd saying they want free education for all.
Someone has to pay for it unless their teachers work for free so why not go back to college and demand their professors work for nothing

So I go to the bank with my kids and I have to put up with that crap, no way.

Prepare for much more anarchy. Our leaders refuse to do anything to protect us from these zombies and there will be a time soon where we the civil will have to protect ourselves from the blood thirsty horde that liberals created in an ageless experiment to create the perfect citizen.
Obama and Charles Manson have something in common.. They both want helter skelter.Obama must have chaos. It serves his purpose. Once the bullets of the free people fly.... You can kiss the second amendment goodbye. This is the grand design.... Free people can not have guns. Only the overlords will.
