This was planned for some time by the SEIU as part of a larger national event, their Showdown on K Street, which was shared with National Peoples Action and thousands of other activists from MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups.
Prior to the main event on K Street in Washington DC, SEIU and company made a little pit stop. According to Fortune magazine Washington editor Nina Easton, 14 busloads of riled up protesters unloaded on Baers private property and stormed up to his doorstep, while his teenage son was home alone. Easton is a neighbor of Baers and had called to check on her neighbors son when she heard and saw all the commotion outside. Easton writes,
Waving signs denouncing bank greed, hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baers steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baers teenage son Jack alone in the house locked himself in the bathroom. When are they going to leave? Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.
Baer, on his way home from a Little League game, parked his car around the corner, called the police, and made a quick calculation to leave his younger son behind while he tried to rescue his increasingly distressed teen. He made his way through a din of barked demands and insults from the activists who proudly outed him, and slipped through his front door.
Excuse me, Baer told his accusers, I need to get into the house. I have a child who is alone in there and frightened.
Imagine what you would have done if your child were inside that house and that mob was on your front lawn as you tried to reach him.

The reason they didn't make any arrests is because nobody did anything illegal.
Why, though? Can any FReeper explain to me WHY those on the left have such a visceral hatred of success and prosperity and those that achieve them? Many of those who are successful worked bloody hard to get to that place. They worked 14, 16, 18 hour days to get to where they are now. Yet, leftists somehow think it’s not FAIR that they now reap the rewards of years if not decades od said hard work.
Please, someone, explain it to me. I just don’t understand.
The brave LEOs wouldn’t even come when he called, upset his 14 year old was stuck in the house. Arrests? Ha!
Bush is probably a better fit with Von Papen.

Try it sober.
my father banks with bofa because he is too elderly to change.
although bank is in same building it was 30 yrs ago, everytime
i take him there, i’m overwhelmed by number of signs in
spanish, they only hire bilingual people who are often difficult
to understand, the place is crowded with illegals. i would
never give them any business. i think they are traitors to their own
country.
Knowing that conservatives like me will only allow themselves to be pushed just so far, and knowing that we are far and away better equipped to deal with any armed conflict, I am left with the thought that the Obama Regime actually wants it like this.
That the Obama Regime intends to push us, and threaten us too far, with the intention of declaring martial law when we respond to their physical threats to our lives and liberty.
This will not end well.
humm...
There is a reason that $hit does not happen here in Texas.
“i think they are traitors to their own country.”
Not really traitors, BOA like many big companies has a large number of foreign nationals in senior management.
Same experience here, the crowd in BOA is far different than neighboring banks.
welcome to the Balkanization of America,We have finally reached Banana republic Status, Thanks Unions, Acorn Democrats
There are only two kinds of people: producers and thieves.
Thieves always hate producers because they won't give away everything they produce to the thieves, willingly.
Pretty simple.
There’s a damn good reason SEIU goons pull this crap in Washington DC and not, say, Texas.
It might be interesting to copy the video, repost it, then allow all the comments to flow freely.
Nearest I can find is that Bob Casey is the one pushing the pension bailout. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of info out there about it yet which tells me the democrats want to hide it.
It has the potential of blowing up in the faces of both the democrats and the unions if they aren’t very carefull with it.
I was wondering the same thing.
A noisy, angry mob of Marxists crowding around your door? First of all, they've imprisoned you in your own home--and that's a forcible crime of false imprisonment right there. Are going to wait until they actually look ready to torch the house?
Say hello to my little friend, SEIU goons.
then call themselves bank of americas! but i think helping pave the way
for millions of illegals is traitorous no matter the makeup
of management.
I'm retired and I'll be more than happy to babysit for Mr. Baer. I'll even provide my own shotgun shells.............
