I was watching the live stream for global revolution

http://www.livestream.com/globalrevolution and 23 customers went into citibank and 555 Laguardia in NY to close their accounts. They went into the bank, closed acts or what not, then went outside, the cops took them back inside, and then arrested 23 of them for trying to close their accounts. I'm sure details will come in. But people are now getting arrested for closing their accounts... WTF?

1. That seems odd.

5. Thanks!

3. They had a ton of cops, 2 paddy wagons, and tons of live footage.

I'm assuming they will be updating what happened inside of the bank later on today when they speak with the one's who were arrested or those who were get out and explain what happened. It does seem odd, but I'm assuming that its not going to make for good publicity for citibank.

4. This needs to go viral

6. Big mistake

This will be fun.

7. Yes, Shiti-bank is in trouble now... The protestors outside of the cops

perimeter were asking for their account #'s and one of them shouted it out... So they were actual customers.
