Went out to walk around after lunch today downtown. A whole lot was happening near the intersection of 5th and Cheyenne.
The IBC Bank Shamers were out again. They are out every day. IBC Bank must have done something awful bad to deserve this much shaming. It kind of reminds of the movie “Cold Comfort Farm” that came out a few years ago. One of the characters kept saying “I saw something nasty in the woodshed last night.” (or something like that).
Come on IBC, say your sorry! These guys shaming you look really bored. Let them go home, or something.
The Exterminators were just down the street at the Mayo Hotel. They have a whole new crew but the same leader. The crew still pickets but they don’t say much. The leader does the chants. He has a good strong, clear, loud voice. You can hear him all over downtown. They have added a sandwhich board that says “Honk for Labor Rights.”
They are back to the basic chant “Get the Ra-ats Oo-ut, Get the Rats Out”.
The old crew was much better at it. Maybe they got a recording contract.
Meanwhile, right across the street from the exterminators there are a bunch of picketers protesting the labor practices of the law firm Pray, Walker, Jackman, Williamson & Marlar. I didn’t get a picture. For crying out loud guys, treat your people right! Whats wrong with you?
I think this all part of a plot myself. The mayor wants to bring more people downtown so the city is bringing in picketers. I mean you bring them in and after a while they are going to get tired and hungry so they’ll buy stuff at the few stores and restaurants downtown. They’ll get bored so they’ll buy tickets for BOK events. These guys are of a downtown renaissance!
For a long time I’ve wanted to set up a sign across from them that says, “Shame on Unparticipating Protesters.” There would be no one behind my sign. I don’t think anyone would get the joke.
We see them all the time down at 21st and Yale. So I am guessing you have no ideal either what IBC bank has done to be shamed? I told hubby he should ask the next time he is in there.
LOL! I love that Mayor Taylor could possibly be behind this! ROFL!! I wouldn’t put it passed her!
