It’s being cited as a right to protest. There is no such right on private property.

“Less than a year ago, the most repellent area bus tour we knew of was the one that induced Sex and the City–crazed tourists to put $40 on their Citi cards for a cupcake and a glimpse at Carrie Bradshaw’s brownstone. How times have changed! Now, everyone’s clamoring aboard the Populist Rage Bus.

The Connecticut Working Families Party this weekend has organized a bus store that will make stops at Wilton, Connecticut, AIG office as well as the security-patrolled homes of AIG execs who are fearing for their lives.

“We’re going to be peaceful and lawful in everything we do,” said Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families. “I know there’s a lot of anger and a lot of rage about what’s happened. We’re not looking to foment that unnecessarily, but what we want to do is give folks in Bridgeport and Hartford and other parts of Connecticut who are struggling and losing their homes and their jobs and their health insurance an opportunity to see what kinds of lifestyle billions of dollars in credit-default swaps can buy.”

According to a source at Hartford Police department, if these “working families” get off the bus to harass residents in anyway they will be subject to arrest. “It’s considered tresspass” the source said, “If they get off those buses and harass residents, AIG or otherwise, they will be asked to leave or be subject to arrest.”

If I were these execs I would have my security folks on hightened alert, armed and ready.

There is NO constitutional right to protest on private property. The right exists only in protests against the government. If these nutbags were truly wanting to protest injustice they should visit the Democratically-controlled congress. Specifically Senator Dodd’s office, he’s the author of the bonuses.
