Title: Evictions and the like

I frankly wish people would direct their anger where it belongs and head to NYC to murder the heads of Goldman Sachs and the rest of their ilk instead of turning guns on themselves, their families, or police (as much as I generally dislike police).

I actually thought about making flyers with home addresses, phone numbers, office addresses, pictures, etc. a while ago.  I don't know how suggesting that the displaced murder bankers would go over, though.

I would assume that would fall under incitement and would lack 1st Amendment protection.
There would be much secret approval, though.

I wonder if the debt collectors are getting more aggressive or the debtors are fighting back more.

Sounds like the debtors are getting more desperate.

Also, that Aho guy was such a badass. If I had hatred for the cops instead of just a general low-key disdain, that's totally the way I'd choose to suicide myself.

Does anyone remember what happened with that anti-abortion website where they had posted pictures of doctors and marked them off as they were killed?  I guess that would be similar, legally.

Good question. I remember reading about that. What was the name of the case?

I would be very, very happy if these people were able to channel their rage in a more productive manner.

How wonderful would it be if instead of a news story about one foreclosed victim blowing a banker's head off, we were shown footage from a news chopper of a huge mob of foreclosure victims tearing Goldman Sachs execs apart with their bare hands all zombie apocalypse style?

Now that would be a message.

Now that would be a message.

This is pretty much as some may remember how I predicted things would soon start to go and I too wish that people could focus their anger where it would do so much more good.

Why stop there, how about aiming some of that good stuff towards the guys that allowed it to happen by dismantling all that stuff that was put in place to protect against such calamities? Its about time there was a few political assassinations as well...
