For the second day in a row, the downtown Los Angeles branch of the Bank of America at 7th and Figueroa had a big protest at its doorstep.
This time, students from a number of community colleges converged at the bank to express their anger.
“Hey. Hey! B of A, give our money back today,” they chanted as they marched in a circle outside the bank.
Roughly 100 students held up signs reading “we’re an investment, not an entitlement” or “Budget cuts never help” as they continued to chant.
Then they presented a facsimile of a check for a $400 million over draught fee which bank security personnel promptly threw away.
Thursday, a group protesting the bank’s foreclosure policy held a sit-in inside the bank that led to 11 arrests.
Friday, the group was noisy, but peaceful.
