Citi bank detains and arrests customers *reasoning under investigation*

Not to mention, "City Bank" did NOT detail nor arrest anyone.

Get a damn clue. Your outrage is about as focused as the entire occupy wall street movement 😛
 
It is not the first time that Citibank has done something unlawful.

I hope the below will clean out the brainwashed cobwebs.

Are you high, or just plain stupid?

Citigroup employs, google search estimate says ~300,000 people. Do you really think the heads at the corporation authorized murder for debt? Grow up. And pin responsibility where it belongs. Because when you spew crap like that, nobody respects you.

This shit is so f'd up. This is the reason I support Occupy Wallstreet. Not because I believe in every word they are saying, but because this country is ridiculously out of control. The whole country should be standing up and raising hell for all the shit going on in this country right now.

What's the charges on these people?

What's the charge on the woman they dragged from the street, brought her into the bank and arrested?

Which part of the "The family's lawyer said the suit was filed against Citibank headquarters in New York and the bank's subsididary Citibank Indonesia", and "Bank Indonesia banned Citibank for two years from processing new credit card applications[5] and outsourcing debt collection." don't you understand?

Perhaps you should do some reading before you spew your ignorant & lopsided view.

Citibank Indonesia (the entire banking business, not just a bank or a person) was charged with money laundering for criminals and politicians. Unfortunately, Indonesia system/court & news agencies can't get at the bulk of the information, because Citibank America is out of their jurisdiction behind the corrupted American iron curtain.

This is what happens when you extend federal unemployment funds to 99+ weeks. Why go get a job when I can stand outside complaining about not having a job?
 
It should be OK if Americans take enough money out of City to cause it to collapse. It will be up to the people where they want to put their money. Make City a target and get investors to sell their stock. If you claim to be a service industry you better serve the folk who supply the money for your criminal investments and criminal bonuses.

Americans should demand that bankers salaries be limited if they want deposits from the people. Competition for the best bankers willing to work for the least money should be the name of the new game. Break up the banks so we can have many many more folk competing for high service and low salary. Let the most talented and least self serving bankers win. There are lots of unemployed people who I am sure would love to take a crack at that.

I can see the TV ads now. I am Moonbeam, CEO of bank of the Moon and I pay the best interest on accounts in the business and sleep on a bed of nails.

There arent any jobs for a lot of people. There arent just jobs waiting for hard working americans to go do. If there were we wouldnt be having any problems. You cant be this out of touch with the situation, can you?

How stupid of you. They are only complaining because they have something to eat. Those cops will start dying when people get hungry. There will be blood in the streets. Unemployment benefits are really really cheep compared to the cost of fixing burning cities.

Each morning, I get 50-60 job openings emailed to me by Careerbuilder. Each fast food restaurant has a help wanted sign. Looks like there are plenty of jobs out there for all skill levels. If that isn't the case in your city or town, then move to where the jobs are.

Bullshit. Anecdotal evidence. Why is unemployment at 10%? All lazy people?

They over value their worth. Cry me a river that your old job paid $40 a hour. Suck it up and work your way back up; if that means starting over at $9 a hour, then guess what?

Thats not the situation for all these people, some yes but not all. Compassion requires higher intelligence.
 
The protestors decided to be babies and had to march in 15 deep and grandstand rather than lining up like civilized folks, remain quiet, and just close their accounts. I like how they act shocked and dismayed that they are being arrested after all that.
 
I really wish we could hear the ACTUAL story and not this bias that's always rolled up..... just like the McD assault video, they somehow left out in the video where the woman slapped the cashier.... it's mentioned in the article, but who reads nowadays?
 
I sense rage earns $9 an hour. Are there openings where you work rage?

I do well. Not 1% well but I'm comfortable. You know what though, when I had to start over, I had to take a 33% pay cut. It took me 3 years to get back to where I was and another 2 to be making an additional 30%. The quicker you pull up your bootstraps, the quicker you recover.

So what if he does? Every thread where you people whine about unemployment and support OWS, you ALWAYS end up looking down your nose at people that are content to work jobs that you consider beneath you.

This,
unemployed for a year after grad school with 40K debt. Eventually got a job, paid off CC debt, then another job and now I'm cruising. Whining about status quo only prolongs it.
 
There has to be some grand conspiracy committed by the banks and Wallstreet, that keeps able body people unemployed so they can't become customers, right? I mean, that's the only plausible answer. It couldn't be that it is their own fault that they failed in life. That mommy and daddy were wrong when they said how special you were and great at everything, right?

Yeah, it has be the banks...

Thats great. Now realize that some people can not find any job at all.

I dont look down. I just see someone who has accepted shit and is demanding all these people go be migrant fruit workers instead of trying to better their situation through democracy. I can tell you who I think is more intelligent but I think you probably know.

Great. another awesome story of the American dream. Congrats. Again do you realize some people can not find any work?
