San Francisco commuters faced an unexpected delay when trying to get home on San Francisco’s BART subway system. Specifically, a protester calling himself Michael jumped on the train tracks and began railing against everything from Wells Fargo to the police.
“I’m tired and I represent over 99 percent of Americans, middle class workers who are tired of seeing their money taken by franchises like, oh, international banking franchises like Wells Fargo and Bank of America. I was occupied. We‘re here and we’re not going away. You think I was just a nut? Believe me, I’m not a nut. I was occupied. And we are tired of the rich over-class elitists taking our money! And we’re not gonna let it happen in the Mission District,” Michael ranted. “We are tired of this and we’re not leaving. Now we have the fascist cops who are gonna try and jump down and arrest me. Somebody livestreaming that?”
To their credit, representatives of the latter entity attempted to reason with him right up until a train started rolling into the station. At this point, the third rail was de-electrified and policemen jumped onto the tracks to Michael and pull him out of harm’s way. By the time this happened, the novelty had worn off and passengers were getting impatient. Watch the bizarre incident below:
Munidiaries informs us that Michael was apparently a homeless man whose protest was partially motivated by his being tired of sleeping on the streets.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 11:10pmI was promised that “hilarity would ensue”. I want 7:50 of my life back. That a**clown shouldn’t have lasted 2 mins. Tase him before he tases himself an then hilarity will ensue.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 10:23pmThe normal folks who don’t like delays getting home should start bringing ziplock bags of salt water. Using them on an idiot like this would prolong the delay, but the light show would be well worth it.

And if he is, as the story reports, tired of sleeping on the streets, give him a taste of 3 hots and a cot in the county jail. No doubt he’ll leave with a loose caboose.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 7:41pmI sounded to me like the 99% of working middle class just wanted to go the flip home! This guy thought his little hissy fit would make a point. It did. I should show everybody that “Occupy” is nothing but a group of lazy arses that want somebody else to pay for their habits.

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 7:17pmI hope they took him to a mental ward where he (and the rest of us) will be safe from himself and he won’t have to sleep on the streets. He also complains that he’s tired of having money taken away from him. But honestly, if he ever made any money, he’d probably have blown it all by himself. Who’d ever hire this crazy guy anyway?

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 6:31pmHe might be a nut, but the Occupiers have certainly done their magic brainwashing him: from the number 99 , to the middle class are tired of the ….you paid for this officer… to corporate attack on America..you have the power..why don’t you shoot me…. I am not leaving… sounded like he picked up some of the Van Jones anti police rhetoric also. Yes. Michael is a poster child for the Occupiers : disrupting the lives of working people with a disrespectful arrogance of the typical criminal who has no respect for the rights of others..

Posted on April 16, 2012 at 6:04pmNot a “nut” just delsional. Is America developing an “upper class” , yes, but it is largely liberal, ivy league, and generally supports OWS, primarily because it distracts attention from the political stuff they do and focuses on “rich fat cats” However : if Michael wants to see a truly developed “ubber class” he should visit other countries where the poor truly are held down.
