So, how many times have banks had people arrested who tried to close their accounts?

Seems like a lot. Here's MsExPat; Yves has those, and adds another incident in St. Louis*; here's another:

Classic quote from the manager:

"You cannot be a protester and a customer at the same time."

And there you have it, really, don't you?

So, what's the grand total, nation-wide? Of course, I don't have to ask why this story isn't being covered.....

NOTE * Looking at the video, which is all the evidence I know of, I can't be sure what the count is.

Looking at the video you embedded

it's wonderful that they included rolling captioning so that as many people as possible could understand what was happening. Accessibility to as many people as possible, even the disabled, is democracy in action.

If possible, try to locate volunteer captioning pros. Videos don't help hearing impaired citizens stay current, and the hearing impaired are part of the 99% too.

It's ok if you don't caption the live streaming, so long as you caption them later so hearing impaired people can see and "hear" what's going on.

Take a look at this wonderful video made by #occupysanracruz at Corrente:

Incidentally, they're doing a great job of reporting. on the occupy movement.

Thanks everyone

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
