a banner was dropped at the pacific stock exchange as robin hood and his merry band stormed the trading floor, shutting down the exchange this morning. cops responded with brutal force in their never-ending quest to keep themselves and everyone else poor while a few corporate elite parasites enjoy the fruits of our labor and our earth.

it's kind of funny how we all love the legendary hero robin hood, yet most of us are so easy to believe the demonizations of anyone who wants to take wealth from the rich and use it to feed the poor.

As a market maker in the X55 crowd, I was on the exchange floor at the time of the so-called protest. And I can tell you with no uncertainty or ambiguity, the exchange was not shut down. Trading was not halted for a single second. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. About 1 to3 people got by the turnstiles, and shortly thereafter they were tackled hard to the ground and removed--I witnessed one of the apprehensions. Funny to see the liberal vanguard engaged in lies, propoganda, and media manipulation.
