1. The police were not there to protect us. The police were there to protect property from us, and arrest us. Later that night the police put one of our group in the hospital with a kick to the face. another protester was run over by a motorcycle. I find it laughable that you would assume they were present to protect us. I mean, protect us from who?

2. Re: Wells Fargo. Its unfourtunate that the person you spoke to wasn’t more articulate about why we’re are against Wells Frago in particular. Here is an excerpt from a recent communique issued by a group which took action against that insitution:

“Wells Fargo, in its own quest for profit, finances GEO Group, a company which runs prisons across the planet. One such prison is the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in the tideflats of Tacoma. While the bankers count their money, the jailers in the detention center treat the people inside like subhumans. These people in cages are only trying to work, to feed themselves and their families and to create a better life for themselves. For this they are jailed and portrayed as the enemy. Immigrants are not responsbile for the collapse of the economy. Bankers are.”

Ironically, Wells Fargo is also one of the largest methods of private remittances–money sent home to family abroad by working immigrants. They benefit off of the cash transfers of the migrant community on one hand, and profit off of their incarceration with the other.

Also, overdraft fees are a blatant example of class warfare, the exloitation of those who have the least by those who have the most. In protesting Wells Fargo we give a voice to oppressed communities and break the perception of powerlessness imposed upon the proletariat by the holders of capital.

3. Regarding your converrsation with the fascist swine. what he doesn’t understand is that we have no leaders. we do not give or recieve orders, we are a non-heirachical, voluntary association in which all participants have an equal say. When we met up we had no pre-set agenda, everyone was able to make their own suggestion regarding what we should do. To a person like that swine who has probably never made an independant decision in his life, I could see how that would be incomprehensible.

Anyway, thank you for writing this blog, I hope my response has clarified some things. Information on the Anarchist movement is easily obtainable, all you have to do is read a little and it’ll make sense.

Cheers,
