Suit: Wells Fargo sent contractors to break into our house, loot family treasures rescued from Nazis
First they came for the bankersâŚ
Iâve been having this argument with people who believe that the USA is not a plutocratic oligarchy, with one law for the rulers (âDo What You Wantâ) and one law for the ruled (âSit There And Take This Crapâ).
I just sent them this link with the subtitle, âGood thing they didnât rob a convenience store, or theyâd be toast, right?â
Too bad we donât have a government that could reign in companies like this. If you are home when this happens, assume they are bad guys and take appropriate action to defend yourself.
Except, unfortunately, then the only people youâd be hurting would be the day-laborers, who are almost certainly more economically challenged than the homeowner. The bank would just walk away whistling, plus making a few quick bucks from the exotic derivative they designed to profit in case one of their laborers were to be killed by a disgruntled homeownerâŚ
Pitchforks should be the weapon of choice here.
Donât forget torches. And flails.
Peasant revolts worldwide teach us about the dual-use nature of agricultural gear. Letâs not forget the lessons.
In reading the OP, I was like âOnly the flag? And how did they know the bank did it?â - turns out the quote in the OP was missing the link to the rest of the story. The bank broke into their house three times. Or rather, the company hired by the bank to maintain it during foreclosure did. Pretty astounding.

How is this legal that they can take items inside the house? Foreclosing on the house I can understand (though 2 months is hardly a reason to do so). But if I have a safe of gold or guns or beanie babies, those arenât theirs.
-
What exactly did they take? Just curious.

For years I have been wondering why every bank in the country hasnât been bombed to kingdom come. Not that Iâm advocating or anything, but if you push people hard enough, bad thigns happen.
#you donât need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
ok thatâs a good point, on the other hand anyone that would take this job ( unless they didnât know what it was) would be something like a class traitor. At any rate lots of people thing that itâs ok to shoot a burglar that comes into their house, I think if that burglar is doing it in the pay of a large powerful organization then it is more than alright.
Only thing to do then is take off, nuke the banks from orbit. Itâs the only way to be sure.
Could anybody please draw a picture of a board room, xenomorphs wearing suits around a table?

Eh⌠the word is not âreignâ but rather ârein,â as in:
verb
- check or guide (a horse) by pulling on its reins.
âhe reined in his horse and waited for herâ
keep under control; restrain.
âwith an effort, she reined back her impatienceâ
synonyms: restrain, check, curb, constrain, hold back/in, keep under control, regulate, - restrict, control, curtail, limit
âthey reined back costsâ
Thereâs something painfully funny about this mix up here. Iâm⌠uh⌠laughing on the inside. Like, for a nanosecond. My imagined unicorn chaser has a rainbow-colored tear rolling down its cheek.
Thanks for the correct! Wasnât really sure on the spelling, but now I know!
I presume this is what you are referencing?â> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground
Reference? I meant no reference. I merely proposed a little academic social theory.
Iâm not a proponent of booby trapping oneâs house. But if thereâs a justification, this would be it. At least after the first two break-ins.
Seriously. Eat the fuckers at the banks. I find it surprising that someone hasnât yet pulled out a 2x4 from their prematurely foreclosed house and beat one of these asshats and sent a message.
