“I’m not a terrorist. I’m not firebombing any banks.”-Alex Schafer, artist
A Los Angeles, California, artist is constantly harassed by police, because of his anti-bank paintings.
The paintings show major national banks on fire, the artist says they’re hot sellers! “I started the bidding off at 920 bucks and its at $10,100 now.”
The artist also uses slogans like “Bad banks should fail”. Apparently the paintings and the slogans have local police thinking the artist is a terrorist.
Who’s the real terrorists? Since 2008, none of the bank bosses in charge during the mortgage meltdown have done any jail time. Instead, they were the recipients of bailouts and bonuses, while millions of U.S. citizens continue to suffer through foreclosure, unemployment and financial ruin.
