Pasadena Star-News ^ | August 18, 2011

A group of about 50 protesters overcame security and jumped turnstiles Thursday afternoon to commandeer the corporate headquarters of OneWest Bank.

Members of Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and the Service Employees International Union set up tents and blocked off employee elevators for several minutes chanting loudly in support of Rose Gudiel, who is on the brink of being evicted from her La Puente home.

Gudiel, a state of California employee, has been attempting to get the bank to modify a loan for almost two years after her brother's sudden death, which caused the household income to drop, she said.

Like they give a rip about Rose, and her situation. She is merely a prop to use in their anti-capitalism crusade.

“Must be the name the local chapter of ACORN is using these days.”

I’m quite sure you are right about that.

Well, let’s think. Race riots, union riots, mayhem, violence in the streets....will this help “No Drama” Obama secure re-election?

I doubt it.

Pasadena should summon the Cops from Fullerton to deal with this.

Where do they expect this to go? We already have the guy that claims to have sex with Obama and that didn’t stop any worshiper from voting for the most inexperienced man to walk into any room on the globe. Leave sex out of this. Oh I forgot - like so many things in politics this only applies to conservatives. Isn’t that why Barney’s Frank is still in office?

In other words, the SEIU thugs were too greedy to open up their union coffers to help out a fellow union thug in need...

If Tea Party members had done this, Homeland Security would be involved and CBS, CNN, etc would be covering it non-stop. Do we hear crickets?

I’m still trying to figure out what SEIU members actually DO for a living. They seem to have plenty of time and money to organize protests during the “work” week. When are they actually on the job?

MGD and I pay every month for life insurance. In the event of sudden death so we would be able to meet our obligations. I would bet this state employee makes more than we do put together - why didn't she insure her brother if his income was so necessary?

Too bad security didn’t open fire and take out every one of those sons of bitches. It would have stopped the protest, gotten trespassers off their property, well they would have been carried off the property, and also made the world a better place.

It looks like previous posters are unaware of the fact that One West Bank is a George Soros bank. This is hysterical. The multi-billionaire socialist Nazi cooperator whose stooge Barak Obama is attempting to destroy our country is foreclosing on public employee union members. Could this story be any funnier???

"[SEIU] Protesters take over OneWest Bank headquarters in Pasadena"Signs of incipient dictatorship:

A ‘leadership’ that is determined to get its way
This is an example of one of these
Opposition is intimidated and stifled
Laws are broken - nothing is done.
This is also an example of one of these
Law abiding citizens who try to resist these pressure are obstructed.
