SAN FRANCISCO -- Several hundred Occupy protesters massed in front of the downtown San Francisco headquarters of Wells Fargo Bank on Tuesday with the intention of disrupting a shareholders meeting there.
Waving picket signs and broadcasting over speakers on a pickup truck parked in front of the 465 California St. bank building, demonstrators chanted, "Let us in," and, "They got bailed out, we got sold out."
. . .
More than a half-dozen protesters chained themselves to each other and were trying to block the entrances to Liedesdorff Alley, which shareholders have been using to gain access to the bank building. San Francisco police donned riot helmets in preparation for clearing the entrance.

Sure would be interesting to know who is paying them.
Funny. Liberals protesting liberals.
Every reader here should dump WF as their bank, but not because they’re an “evil, big bank.”
What’s “Occupy”? Iranian terrorists?
“Officers, may I suggest using your night sticks?”
Through back channels, the Democrat Party. George Soros is funding the Democrat Party through the same back channels.
A young and promising French artillery officer had the solution for this kind of thing....
Humph. What did they do? Call in sick from work today?
Yeah. That was a joke. Occupiers with a JOB of their own? Ha ha! (or even looking for one) Ha!
(Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week.)
I have been an account holder at WF for many years and have found them to be very attentive to my needs, can do almost everything over the phone or internet. Live customer service 24/7.
Wells Fargo has some interesting history in San Francisco.
In the 19th Century, a prominent banker built the Parrott Building, but ignored warnings from the Chinese of the area that the site had terrible Feng Shui. That bank was wiped out in a financial panic, and Wells Fargo bought the building, paying for a gold plated Feng Shui cleaning from several Feng Shui masters.
It paid off, becoming the “spiritually cleanest” and best luck building in SF, at least in the eyes of the 10% of the cities population who were Chinese. And the safest and best place to deposit their savings. This made their Parrott Building HQ a solid anchor around which to expand.
I guess they should have shelled out some bucks to have their current HQ cleaned and luckified.
If you support fake homo "marriage," company paid (your dime) "sex reassignment" surgery, contempt for the BSA, and every other leftist wet dream, keep banking with Wells. I've washed my hands of them completely.
I closed my Wells Fargo account, back in the early 90s, when they publicly announced that they were cutting off funding to the Boy Scouts.
When they asked if it was because I was dissatisfied with their service, I told them their service was fine, but their corporate policies were unacceptable to me. But since I had a real job, I never got around to protesting in the streets.
Sheesh. A couple dozen left overs from the failed occupy movement get together and hold hands - and it actually makes some kind of news. How pathetic is that?
Slow news day? Haven't these parasitic losers found a place to live yet?
if they can only round up a few hundred in San Francisco I’d say this movement is D-E-A-D dead!
I'm sure all works well at times. Our encounter with WF last year was a total fiasco.
