The left's latest attempt at bank robbery

IBD:
The radicals who caused the mortgage crisis by shaking down banks for risky loans now demand they forgive those loans. Bankers must fight this theft.
It won't be easy. The radicals have launched a coordinated attack against them on three fronts: corporate shareholder meetings, the courts and Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's conservator.
First the street war.
Some 1,000 protesters stormed Wells Fargo's shareholder meeting Tuesday in San Francisco. Claiming to hold stock certificates, about 20 got into the building and interrupted Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf at least four times.
One protester shouted: "Mr. Stumpf, your bank leads the pack in foreclosures, tax-dodging, predatory loans and investing in private prisons — can you tell us why these issues don't concern you?"
Another yelled: "When will you stop illegally foreclosing on millions of Americans and stop preying on the 99%?"
Since they were out of order, Stumpf wisely had security escort them out. About two dozen were arrested outside as they chained themselves together to block the entrance.
In February, about 100 protesters showed up at Stumpf's house to demand the "evil robber banker" stop foreclosures on people who can't make their mortgage payments. Stumpf had to call security to block the crowd.
... 
There is more.

The bank needs to be better prepared for these assaults.  If these people want to avoid their responsibility, they can transfer the homes to the bank and declare bankruptcy.  What these people are demanding is a gift to which they are not entitled.
