Our Government; State Sponsors Of Terrorism

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) staged a protest at the home of Greg Baer, a Bank of America executive. Five hundred union sponsored thugs arrived at the home, located in Montgomery County, Maryland, escorted by officers from the DC police department. The DC police have no jurisdictional authority in Maryland and were there to ensure the safety of the protesters.

So let’s get this straight, 500 people arrive at a home and trespass on the property. The only person home is a teen aged child of Baer and the DC police are there to protect the protesters. Even if the entire family had been home they would have been outnumbered by about 100:1 so who actually needed protection?

The DC police watched as the protesters trespassed but they did nothing because they do not have jurisdiction. If the protest had gotten more out of hand and turned violent or if they decided to burn the house down, would the DC police officers have been obligated to intervene?

Suppose the homeowner felt threatened and stepped out with a shotgun and told the protesters to leave the property, would the DC police officers, as protectors of the thugs, then had the authority to intervene? If they have no jurisdiction, what kind of protection were they providing. As an aside, who paid their salaries for this protection?

The Montgomery County Police Department arrived after being called by a neighbor and dispersed the crowd but no charges were filed. Perhaps a multi-million dollar lawsuit against SEIU and the DC Police Department is in order here. A teen aged boy was scared to death and locked himself in a bathroom while police officers, the people children are taught to seek for help, watched him be terrorized.

Your right to protest ends when you infringe upon the rights of others and terrorizing people in their homes is an infringement upon them.

SEIU and their protectors in the DC Police Department engaged in terrorist acts against citizens of this country. They should be held accountable.

There had better be a strong stance taken against this kind of terrorism. The last thing the police want to see is homeowners defending themselves though I would not blame any homeowner who did so.

Homegrown terrorists like SEIU and their protectors in the DC Police Department need to be taken to Gitmo.

Since DC is a federal property and the DC police are part of that property it is now clear that our government has become a state sponsor of terrorism.

And they wonder why we say Obama is soft on terror.

How Much BOA Angst Caused by Illegals?

Early in 2007 bank of America quietly, or so they thought, launched a program to provide credit cards to people who did not have Social Security numbers. These people are typically comprised of ILLEGAL immigrants. There was a huge uproar from many when the cat was let out of the bag and many people refused to do business with BOA. The idea might have seemed like a good one to BOA at the time because they could exploit ILLEGALS but common sense (which is not that common) indicates that this was a risky move because those who broke the law to get here and have questionable earnings might not exactly be very credit worthy. Nonetheless, BOA marched on.

Yesterday it was reported that BOA had a decline in first quarter net income of 77% and that its profit dropped for the third straight quarter as the company set aside over 6 billion dollars for bad loans. I certainly know that some of this (probably most) is related to the housing market and defaults from people who should have never been allowed to borrow money in the first place. However, I have to believe that a portion of their losses is because of the credit extended to ILLEGALS.

Almost all credit companies are having financial trouble and most of them caused their own problems through greed. It is nice to see them suffer a bit for making poor choices with regard to whom they allowed to borrow money. With BOA it is even sweeter knowing that some of their problems are caused by their pandering to ILLEGALS*.

*The idea that some of the problems are caused by ILLEGALS is speculation on my part but it is reasonable to assume that the least credit worthy caused many of these issues.
