Man charged with "terroristic threats" for holding up sign in a bank: 'Give A Man A Gun, He Can Rob A Bank. Give A Man A Bank, And He Can Rob A Country"
From the un-fucking-believable files: An Occupy protester in a bank who held a sign “Give A Man A Gun, He Can Rob A Bank. Give A Man A Bank, And He Can Rob A Country” is facing bank robbery charges!
UPDATE 8/8/12: “Prosecutors have withdrawn a pair of attempted robbery charges filed against a man who was arrested while protesting outside a bank earlier this week.
“David Christopher Gorczynski still faces two charges each of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, said Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli during a news conference Wednesday afternoon.”

On the morning of August 5,2012, NatureDave walked into Wells Fargo with two signs which said “You’re being robbed” and the quote “Give A Man A Gun, He Can Rob A Bank. Give A Man A Bank, And He Can Rob A Country”, protesting the bailouts of the banks. When he was asked to leave, he left right away and went to Bank of America where he was arrested. Since then, he has been charged for with two counts of attempted bank robbery & terroristic threatening and two counts of disorderly conduct.
NatureDave was obviously exercising his right for free speech. He was speaking against the true robbers of this country: the banks who do illegal foreclosures and used taxpayer’s money through the TARP program to pad their bottom line. If this oppression of the freedom of speech will allowed to continue, we will soon live in orwellian state ruled by banks and corporations.
We are asking the City of Easton and Northampton County District Attorney’s office to stop this egregious act against the Constitution and drop all charges against David ‘NatureDave’ Gorczynski as soon as possible.

Obama Endorses KXL Pipeline, Native Americans Forced to Protest from 'Cage' | Common Dreams
Today, President Obama has endorsed a southern portion of the Keystone XL pipeline. “As long as I’m president, I’m going to keep encouraging the development of oil and gas infrastructure,” Obama said in a speech in Cushing, Okla.
As the president spoke, Native American pipeline protesters were ‘caged’ miles away from the event.
Native American activists in Oklahoma have expressed outrage at the proposal of the pipeline as it will “desecrate known sacred sites and artifacts” on its path to refineries in Texas, in addition to the evident environmental degradation involved.
Local authorities have forced the activists to hold their protest in a cage erected in Memorial Park far away from the speech. “The protestors were stunned that their community, so long mistreated, would be insulted in such an open manner instead of being given the same freedom of speech expected by all Americans simply for taking a stance consistent with their values,” reports the Global Justice Ecology Project.
Obama, I am really fucking disappoint.
