LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KTLA) -- Police converged on a crowd of protesters outside a downtown Bank of America branch.

The participants in the protest organized by the Refund California campaign marched into the bank and tried to cash a check for $673 billion.

It was an over-sized check made out to the "people of California," LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said.

The teller ought to have paid them off in pennies. Would have served them right.

The '60s protestors like the draft resisters were the real thing.

They didn't try to turn in their draft cards they burned them.

Do these punks have the courage to burn the official documents -- like their student loans -- that offend them so much?

Both the past groups and the current cheap imitations are hate-America, pro-almost-anything-else spoiled brats.

In today's world, if they went to Trial, and got a "Jury of their Peers", they would find them Not Guilty, I assure you.

Juries are made up today of people who could care less about what the Law says; they vote to make a societal statement, and that is true in Criminal Cases, and most assuredly true in Civil "Ambulance-Chaser" Cases.

Was it Shakespeare who said "shoot the Lawyers"?

Like it or not, that's as it should be.

JOHN JAY (1794): The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.

And the President of the United States is supporting them. I heard an O quote on the news today, saying they reflect the views of many people. No trashing of the participants, but then they aren’t conservative Tea Partiers. We are in deep doo-doo.....

"Juries are made up today of people who could care less about what the Law says"

"Like it or not, that's as it should be.

LOL

Have you been on Jury Duty lately?

My experience clearly showed that the bias in favor of like-skinned defendants, the bias AGAINST any Corporate defendent, and the bias in favor of female defendants CLEARLY SHOWED that disregard of facts, disregard of the Law, and disregard for Common Sense permeate today's Juries.

There is NO WAY that which John Jay said in defense of common sense can be mis-constured to include today's practices. His remarks were at a time when honesty, citizenship, family, God, and trust were words that people lived by.

I don't care which way it's parsed; common sense is gone in today's society of Progressives.

You can’t just burn your student loans, the Fed requires them paid back no matter what- they will put a lien on your tax returns to get them or garnish your wages. I filed bankruptcy years ago but still owe 20k+ in student loans. There is no getting out of paying them. I borrowed it (well more like 8k, the rest is inflated interest) so I owe it. The student loan complaints from these libtards comes because of Obama’s new student loan forgiveness policy - but that only applies if they are over 20 years old or something. These commie wannabes all want free college, free medical care and high paying jobs. Pretty hilarious!

Lenin’s “useful idiots” parading about the streets is always good for a laugh.
