CodePink Dallas Stages Bust of Bank of America

|

I can already hear Glenn Hunter cursing under his breath when he sees I’ve posted this. The above video is from an event the Dallas branch of the liberal activist group Code Pink – which bills itself as a “women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement,” though I’m sure that Glenn would have some other words to describe it – staged last Saturday at the Bank of America branch at the intersection of Lemmon Avenue and Inwood Road in Dallas.

I share it with you not to endorse the group’s indictment of Bank of America and the evils which our country’s largest financial institutions have gotten away with, especially during the last several years leading up to the 2008 collapse. No, I share it because of the pure absurdity of their actions. It’s like a truly awful piece of guerilla theater.

Skip past the overly long introduction to the 2 min, 25 second mark. I think it’s the fellow dressed like Rich Uncle Pennybags and riding a motorized scooter who really makes this an unforgettable tableau.
