Stop people from cashing or depositing their checks!
Yes, I know many are direct deposit, but this might stop some money from flowing into the banks!
STOP HARASSING CITIZENS. People have to eat and feed their families, you will turn a large segment of America against you if you block their way.
Yeah, making someone late to work or to pick up their kids from day care, probably not exactly the right message.
With my daycare, if you were late in picking up (daycare was 6-6 M-F it would cost you a dollar for very minute you were late. Can I petition the GA to get those dollars back when your protest blocks roads and bank drive ups, interfering with my right to conduct my life in the way I feel is right for me? Or have you already spent that money on your iPads and MacBook Pros? Jeez, this gets worse every day...
That is how the day care most people use around here is, except they close at 4, not to mention they also contact child services and report it if you are more than 30 minutes late. Like I said, not the right message.
Ah yeah, I forgot aout that little tidbit. And once child services gets involved in your life, getting them out is near impossible.
They should keep their money in their socks. Only 1%ers use banks.
They will look back and understand that it was for the good of the country.
No they won't. People are going to get killed. Put down the rules for radicals book and stop being an idiot.
(psssttt... Jimbo... He's just screwing with 'em... and you. lol)
Killed? You believe that people that oppose OWS are potential murderer?
Even more reason to resist!
two people have already been killed in San Fran for blocking up traffic. It will happen more often as protestors scare the other 99%. Rules for Radicals.. the ends justify the means. Dying to have the movement fail is certainly not going to work. Don't be an idiot. Not people who oppose you, people who don;t even know whats going on, or don't care. Little old ladies scared to death of a mob around their car. You are clearly too young and stupid to understand.
YUP!
Sure. Keep telling yourself that pissing off regular working folks is gonna be your ticket to success.
boo!
In Oakland, we kept them from earning their paycheck that day that they need to feed their children. We did that to THEM. We forced a day of no money on them the same way that the big banks forcibly take away their money. On that day, in Oakland, we were no different. We forcibly took away their money. From the little guy. The 99%. And you want to hurt the 99% trying to get out grocery money.
I'm not going to be part of escalation, and hope that wherever you are occupying, even if you are occupying in spirit, you don't let it happen either.
Looks like a troll

You must be a banker!
This needs to be said.
You Sir, are an Idiot.
"Let us protest against the Wealthy by stopping the Poor from accessing their money!"
Are you really in support of what is trying to be accomplished? If so... think before you post.
Are you a banker?
Why would you possibly think blocking a bank would be a good idea? I bothered to sign up on your forum to see what the movement was about and I keep finding posts by idiots that somebody wasted good money on trying to educate.
We don't have this silliness in my part of the woods, and if we did it wouldn't last long I can tell you that.
I give this idea two down twinkles & a block.

Where's the money a check represents? I know you are just trying to make waves, which is cool, but this one probably isn't going to help anyone. Keep thinking!
Go on some more private property. Go right ahead...
Those lanes are for customer use.. Make sure you occupy a bank you belong to.
Loophole finder, eh?
Fuck the lines. Why not just hold up the banks themselves. That would slow the flow of money into the evil banks pretty good, and help pay for the salmon and sleeping bags at OWS.
And you wonder why I'm not voting for Obama?
