Reader Quinn sent us a photograph (bigger shot here) of some protesters in lower Manhattan and writes, "There was an anti-bailout protest down by the Bull south of Wall Street. Two professional climbers went all the way to the top of the flag poles and rigged an American flag with the word 'Foreclosed?' on it. Then the NYPD Emergency Services came to take it down… they’re in the middle of that now. The protest did not seem to deter the tourists, who continued to take snapshots of their loved ones in front of the Bull." (The Gothamist Newsmap refers to the protesters as EDP Protesters--hope they aren't being Tased.)

At least someone is taking a stand and action.
someone with balls. unfortunately, it will be a story if got tasered.
"Don't tase me bro"
attention all citizens of main street: leading politicians, pundits, and talking heads will be engaged in an all-out offensive in the coming hours and days to sell the bailout plan to US. leading tactics will include: conveying an unmistakable sense of urgency; demanding national unity in a time of crisis; employing fear-mongering tactics not seen since early 2003.
no bailout. fuck them! the poor and rich can be together.
Cool!
Speaking of testicles, that bull's cojones have to be the #1 tourist attraction in NYC. I don't get it.
NO to the bailout! Let it all come tumbling down!
Seriously? So this is where the help comes to comment. You all are idiots.
aww, poor LordSuffolk's feelings are hurt. class war's a bitch, huh?
no bailout - fuck the middle-class kids planning on going to college with student loans. college should only be for the rich
Less competition for us who recently just graduated from College! Hurrah!
I suggest calling Clinton & shumer's DC offices and let them know if you are against the bailout. They are OUR representatives and they must know that if they vote against our wishes or they will not be re-elected.
and call the reps also:

good job
You dumb shits. My job is safe. My feelings aren't hurt, and neither is my paycheck or my bonus that's larger than your annual salary. I'm as left-wing as they come, but anyone who opposes this bailout doesn't understand how the economy works. Period. Just because your asses are poor doesn't mean you have to ignorant.
What was funny about the protest was that after the climbers came down, the NYPD had to figure out how to get the banner down too.
I was thinking, "man, how are they going to get that thing down, those guys really did a pro job of rigging it." Then an NYPD Emergency Services truck showed up, apparently ready to deal with anything (the thing had a friggin' boat on the roof, ready to go). You know if your driving around the City with a boat on your roof, you are prepared...
An NYPD climber got out, wearing almost the same gear as the guys they just arrested.
