Occupy Oakland: Protesters Arrested While Occupying Foreclosed Home

• Is this happening?

• lol, being "anonymous", for one.

• Chase bank actually gave out much larger bonuses whenever a subprime mortgage was written. Many times the homeowner qualified for a more standard, safer loan, but the banker actually steered the home buyer to the subprime loan so that they could get the bigger bonus. Plus, the whole point of these scam deals was to make a bigger bonus upfront, then recollect the home in five years to help cover up the fraud. That is why even Barack Obama is helping Timmy Geither's wall street buddies cover up the fraud. That is why Obama gives the illusion of pulling one over on the republicans by selecting Cordray THREE YEARS into his first term during a "break", when he could have done the same thing with Warren at least a year earlier, or when the democrats had a majority in both wings of congress.

• You sound like a concern troll, aka fake. Use your real name you fraudleaden concern troll. sheesh.

• Another stupid comment by someone who probably works in the banking field or just likes to feel smug whenever someone else has a problem that they don't have. sheesh.

• what was derisive about that?

• The point you miss is that a great many of the loans were actually both illegal.  The bank making the loan was acting fraudulently.  Also, many of the folks who took the loans honestly thought they could handle them. What crashed the economy wasn't the folks who took out the loans even assuming they were stupid to do so. What crashed the economy was illegal and fraudulent actions on the part of the big banks. 

• When you have nothing to counter their arguments with you resort to derisive remarks. 

• Got a response out of you, didn't it?

• This is what it is all about.

• And oh by the way, I really dig seeing the pictures of the Occupy protestors, protesting with Starbucks coffee in hand.  "Well, I'm going to go protest that I can't find a job and the rich are ruining the economy, but wait, let me go buy a four dollar cup of coffee first."  So full of crap. 

• I bought a house with a interest only ARM.  There was no bait and switch.  I knew exactly what I was getting into.  I read the paperwork, I knew the risks.  Is it partially the banks fault....for sure.  They know the risks for the people taking out the loans and shame on them for creating such products as interest only ARMs and the like.  But shame on the people taking out the loans for not understanding what they were getting into.  I was fortunate enough to sell my home before it lost value and before I started paying the principal.  I had I stayed in that area longer, I would have been screwed.  It would have been my own fault for putting myself in the situation.  Live and learn and I won't by another home until I can put a good amount down and get a standard loan.  Further, I have no animosity towards my neighbor.  I'm just tired of people not taking responsibility for their own actions.   I got a degree in Sanskrit and I can't find a job.....someone else's fault.  I had to compete with the Jones' and max out my credit cards, took out a home loan I couldn't afford and lived outside of my means.........not my fault.  Its the American way.  Which of course detracts from those who REALLY are in need. 

• "occupiers assured police and reporters that there are plenty of foreclosed homes left to occupy" What?  How old are these losers?  Not that this "movement" has ever had any traction, nor was it ever actually a "movement" to begin with... but you can't even call it that now as these are just antics by people with the mentality of children.  They just need a spanking like the little kids that they are. Talk about wasting people's time.  I wonder if the Police and media just left them alone... they'd just fade away into nothing as they're really just seeking attention like little whiny children do. Who cares about this shit anymore... they tried, and failed miserably, so it's time to just go back to doing whatever useless crap they were doing before they started this tantrum.

• Why are all you people letting the banks who approved these loans and more than ever committed a bait and switch at closing off the hook? The PUBLIC did not take hand-outs and then turn around and take the homes too?  I will never understand your animosity toward your neighbor and yet you keep your filthy dirty rotten money in the same institutions who used public money to make their private profits. Please explain?

• You are RIGHT!  The banks have committed burglary!  They have been stealing homes they have NO AUTHORITY ON TITLE to take.  Theft that has the stamp of our judges. What you should be worried about more than a few patriots living in an abandoned house?  Think about judges being THREATENED to present an outcome that favors banks who use forged and illegally fabricated documents to steal homes. 

• Ummm, whoever would buy a foreclosure???  The title comes with a Deed that doesn't give you any assurances that you, in fact, own it.  The title insurance on these properties are listed with a ton of exceptions.  Only a fool would plunk money down on a nightmare of b.s. that the banks have caused.

• Yea, those dirty lending practitioners put a gun to all those people and made them take out loans they couldn't afford.  I'm glad we live in a country where we don't have responsibility for our own actions. 

• Not if you take into account the dirty lending practices which were set up to fail and cause people to lose their homes. It's deeper than just "burglary".

• Bloody, Id love to see taxpayers get into those foreclosed homes but they aren't. If the banks can't sell it now, they wont ever. Especially with todays economy and dirty selling tactics the big banks use. An empty house is a waste. Tons of families out there that can use a warm home to live in. And even if the house gets 'trashed' big banks have the resources to clean them up. They have to cash, they just don't want to spend it being the greedy money grubbing bastards they are.

• IDIOT, SO WHO GOING TO EVER BUY A HOUSE FILLED WITH HOMELESS, TRASHED. sO INSTEAD OF MAYBE GETING A TAXPAYER IN THERE WE DEFINATELY NEVER HAVE ONE.

• You been homeless?

• True...

• Hey... and u think its hurting america... how many homes are abandoned?.... let the homeless people to take over the home as long as they make it right ... hope key word.... if can... CAN... if cant... CANT. Words of wisdom from people smarter than myself:-)

• Use the space no one else is using... shoot its not hurting anyone.

• These losers just don't understand about paying their own way...

• I guess it is burglary when it boils right down to it. www.Total-Privacy dot US
