AIG Protest Pics

WILTON, CT - MARCH 21: (Viewed from inside of a bus) Protesters stand in front of the Financial Products Headquarters of American International Group Inc. (A.I.G.) following a bus tour to the homes of some of the executives who were recipients of a bonus from A.I.G. on March 21, 2009 in Wilton, Connecticut. A bus tour of some of the executive's homes in Connecticut was organized today by the Connecticut Working Families Party, a coalition of labor and community groups. Participants included members of the media and also about 40 activists who attempted to deliver a letter voicing their disdain with the executive's bonuses after it was recently revealed that more than 400 executives at AIG were paid $165 million in bonuses.

2. And how many of these execs and/or their trophy Stepford Wives do you think were actually home?
I'm sure these folks meant well, but I question what was accomplished.

7. Did Mary Hughley break fed law
by placing a letter without postage or processing by the post office, in the mailbox?

9. They would have been better off rushing the security guard and trashing the house.
Obviously AIG Executives do not give a shit about anyone or what their actions did to people.

As long as everyone keeps playing by the same rules and accountability, nothing changes.

10. That security guard looks just a little mobbish. Just saying that he looks
like, oh never mind.

13. Not so long ago, these people would have been tarred and feathered.
People like these, and those who close plants for profit, would have been tarred and feathered not too long ago. Today, these villians are worshiped at their local church services and escape with impunity.

They attack and abuse the communities in which they live. The worst among them are actually destroying our country. Lets call a club a club for a change.
