Goldman Sachs Arms Itself
Trueslant.com ^ | 12/01/2009 | Trueslant.com

“I just wrote my first reference for a gun permit,” said a friend, who told me of swearing to the good character of a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker who applied to the local police for a permit to buy a pistol. The banker had told this friend of mine that senior Goldman people have loaded up on firearms and are now equipped to defend themselves if there is a populist uprising against the bank...

Things must be ... very very very bad over at Goldman Sachs ... evidentally they can't even afford decent security 24/7.

What a bunch of pathetic uneducated creeps with MBAs in finance, hey?

It sounds extremely dangerous to me to put guns into the hands of these rich criminals who brought down the world's economy.

Hi there, A.D.

What I am deeply concerned about is.... WHAT HAS HAPPENNED??

WHY is Goldman Sachs supposedly bloated with billions in profits -- WHY can't this criminal firm afford security, professional security teams 24/7?

Something is definitely ajar, off key, with this article.

I clashed with a business can do no wrong freeper a while back

LOL happens to me all the time 2 of them I call them my stalkers Top Quack and Jason C

They insist there is nothing wrong with being forced to bailout Government Sachs and obamageddon’s favorite banker jamie dimon and CIT, etc and take a hit as a taxpayer. Even though these same slimy banks donated heavily to obama and fund Acorn!

They are probably PAID corporate posters whose job is to intimidate and silence netizens who oppose big biz criminals on Wall Street. They also are paid to manipulate opinion, and when they can’t do that, to simply post 100s of 1000s of posts of their own ideology, so that it LOOKS LIKE popular opinion.

Just buy two of each and stash one away - that way you won’t need to train on both.

The first article about Goldman Sacks is here.

What's your take on this???

How come GS apparently can't afford a decent security team to protect its bailed out execs & board of directors & workforce?

What's up with that?

LOL.  
 
Those the same obnoxious drunken "mighty hunters" who spend their bailout bonuses blasting caged game birds in the American Heartland?
 
I get the impression that, when the fecal rotary aerosolization they've caused begins... 
 
 
...they probably shouldn't expect too much help from the real producers and sportsmen of America.
 
 
Banker:  Waiter, why is there a bar of thoap in my thoup?
Tyler Durden:  Well Sir, maybe someone is trying to tell you to CLEAN UP YOUR SYSTEM.

That's good advice for city folks. I live in a remote area in the mountains (long ranges, high winds, large predators, big bores, handloading).

Hi Lori.

Do you by chance know if any of these links in this posting contain the info about GS contributions to BHO's campaign - is the URL that 2banana wants located in this old post of yours?
