All protests on 1-13-06 dedicated to Heather Nicholson on remand in the UK. Demo Reports, Friday - January, 13, 2006 Operation Knockout Continues - Lucky Number 7 Demos Our afternoon started with a recently exposed LSRI Investor, Bank of America, parent company of Columbia Management that owns nearly 300,000 shares of LSRI stock. Although Bank of America has numerous branches in NYC this particular branch is the cornerstone of Bank of America Plaza, a large office complex in the prestigious Grand Central Station area. Building security swarmed all around the band of loud and raucous protesters. Hundreds of flyers were distributed explaining the connection between Bank of America, Columbia Management and LSRI (aka HLS). All agreed that Bank of America was responsible for the daily bloodshed at HLS. Second stop was at HLS customer Chugai Pharma, which is a subsidiary of another HLS customer Roche Pharmaceuticals. Chugai maintains a low profile presence in a posh Madison Avenue office tower. We are able to speak to many of Chugai's corporate neighbors, who expressed outrage and horror at finding out where Chugai spends its money. Many building residents said they would drop by the Chugai Offices to let them know of our visit and their disgust. Next, we moved to the office of Columbia Management in the high profile IBM tower building. This was not our first time here, so building security knew it was pointless to call police. Once again, numerous flyers were distributed as building residents and neighbors of Columbia Management stared on in horror as the bloody mangled remains of animals butchered by HLS were displayed for all to see. Shame on you Columbia Management! We then moved to what is becoming one of our favorite offices to visit at closing hour, Fidelity Investment. Fidelity's Park Avenue office is one of 8 offices but seems to be one of the more active ones. As we have in the past, activists aggressively held signs and graphic posters directly in Fidelity's windows, to give their customers a good view of what kind of business their investment is funding. Several customers stopped to ask questions and take literature. Many promised to speak to their investment counselor and to demand explanations as to why Fidelity would choose to invest in a sleazy sinking company like HLS. Police were called and a pompous officer, with an over inflated sense of self, demanded that the group give up its organizer in order to be able to continue the demo. No one volunteered ID or any information for that matter causing the sputtering officer to bark: "Who is your RINGLEADER?" This caused the entire group to burst into laughter at the quickly reddening officer, who retreated to his patrol car and eventually slipped off into the evening. Emboldened by our stand in front of Fidelity, we crossed Park Avenue and helped close the Bank of America branch directly across the street. Banners unfurled and gory posters held high, protesters chanted our accusations naming Bank of America as a dealer in blood money shares. Once again, we gave out hundreds of flyers and spoke to many building residents as they left for their weekend. Must suck to be a puppy killer on Friday the 13th. After a short break, we decided to say hi to some of the animal murdering scum at their home addresses. First stop up was the swanky residence of Sir Deryck Maughan. Having been there several times, the very uptight security staff knew exactly what they had to do. Calls were made to the police, but protesters were undaunted as they shouted out: "Puppy Killer....Leave Town......Murderer.....Leave Town". We were told by several neighbors, who specifically come out of their homes to see what was going on, that the neighborhood and even Sir Deryck's building was full of animal lovers who would be supportive of our cause. A woman walking two good looking rescue dogs came out of her home to speak to us and to thank us for speaking out for the animals. She asked if she could make a contribution to the campaign. Our best neighborhood contact was our last one. A very elegant gentleman stopped to chat and to ask for literature. It just so happens that he travels in the same social circle as Sir Deryck. He said that he thought it despicable that he would have ties to HLS and promised to have a word with him. The last stop of the night was the home of Michael Petrycki, CEO of Fulcrum Global an LSRI market maker. A packet of information with copy of "The Truth" was left at Michael's front desk since he and his wife were out for the evening. No doubt he heard about our visit when he returned home. A loud and rowdy protest was held while still more literature was distributed to Petrycki's neighbors naming him as a "blood money" trader. Many in New York City will remember Friday the 13th as a really tough day, if you are a market maker, investor or customer of HLS (stock symbol LSRI). Message sent to all: DO THE RIGHT THING..........CUT YOUR TIES TO HLS OR YOU WILL KEEP HAVING BAD LUCK. |
