Protesters Occupy GE CEO Jeff Immelt's Connecticut Front Lawn

[kpete]

How rude, to show up like that without an invitation! I am so ashamed to be associated... with these WONDERFUL, BRAVE PEOPLE!!!!

Occupy Wall Street protesters took a field trip from Zuccotti Park on Saturday morning, all the way to the wealthy suburban enclave of New Canaan, Conn., where they took their anger at income and tax disparity to GE CEO Jeff Immelt’s front lawn.

“In the land of the free they tax me but not G.E.!” read the invitation to protesters to take an hour bus ride to Immelt’s family home. “General Electric made billions last year; they paid no taxes, outsourced thousands of jobs, and got over $3 billion in tax refunds! Join us on a free bus trip to G.E’s CEO’s front lawn to see how our friends in the 1% live.”

A crowd of about 100 protesters, both from New York and local offshoot Occupy New Haven, spent the afternoon standing outside Immelt’s 6-bedroom, 10-bathroom, $5.25 million home. Photos from local news site New Canaan Patch show a police officer guarding Immelt’s gates while protesters hold placards reading “Mr. Immelt, Meet the 99%” and “Jobs Not Bailouts”.

2. Jeff "Meltdown" Immelt should have volunteered to shovel out the GE-designed reactors at Fukushima

Jeff - Here's your shovel and pale, a radiation badge (just ignore that), and a rubber suit. Now, go run along and have some fun at the seashore.

And, don't forget your SPF 2 million sunblock, and have a really nice day.

3. Why not just protest Immelt's boss (1600 Penn.)??? nt

4. Who owns whom? In some cases, hard to determine the seniority rights.

Lets just say its a snake swallowing its own tail.

6. is this the same ass that was on Meet the Press yesterday?

An ass either way, I am sure, just wondering because it would really gratify me since he couldn't hear me yelling at the tv screen yesterday.
