Dozens arrested at Bank of America headquarters

Bank of America should instead be called Scam of America; as this moniker better describes their practices. Citicorp, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and other similar institutions are much the same. TGO

BOSTON (AP) — Police have arrested two dozen protesters for trespassing during a demonstration against Bank of America’s foreclosure practices at the banking giant’s headquarters in downtown Boston.

The Boston Herald reports (http://bit.ly/ohHrLa ) that the event was an act of civil disobedience that the organizers intended to send the message that the lender’s practices were unfair.

“They wanted to be arrested, and we obliged,” Boston police Commissioner Edward F. Davis told the newspaper.

Organizers say about 3,000 people joined the protest.

Bank of America spokesman T.J. Crawford dismissed the demonstration as a publicity stunt.

There was no mention of Bank of America’s planned debit card fees, which recently have generated headlines and frustrated customers nationwide.
