Nine people were arrested Wednesday afternoon in Pasadena after protesting the foreclosure of a La Puente woman’s home.

A group of about 70 people supporting Rose Gudiel and her disabled mother began protesting outside Pasadena City Hall, then moved to a Fannie Mae building nearby. Fannie Mae owns the loan on Gudiel's house.

The building’s management determined that the protesters were being disruptive to business. After several warnings, the crowd dispersed and after a third warning nine people were arrested, said Lt. Pete Hettema of the city’s Police Department.

2. The Mafia also takes care of those "disrupting their business"

Organized crime syndicates hire hit men to get those who "are disruptive to business" out of the way, and AFAIC, the banks are nothing but a gang of multitrillion-dollar crime syndicates that have bought off governments lock, stock, and barrel. They even have their tentacles in the White House, who is too afraid to prosecute those vermin.

meow2u3 to building managers: I don't care if it's disruptive to business--that's the entire point of the demonstrations! Cops have no business reducing themselves to paid goons for the banksters and arresting people exercising their Constitutional rights. This is one of the reasons for the existence of OWS.
