Number of banks (or any business for that matter) stormed by Tea Partiers: Zero.

(LA Times) — Occupy San Francisco demonstrators and student protesters have taken over the lobby at a Bank of America branch in the city’s financial district, chanting “We are the 99%!”

Dozens of protesters jammed the bank lobby at 50 California St. about 2 p.m., with some standing on desks, waving signs and chanting “Banks got bailed out; We got sold out!” Nervous-looking bank employees retreated behind a counter.

Police officers stood nearby, but no arrests were made. There also were no reported incidents of vandalism.

“I respectfully ask you to protest outside,” a bank official told the protesters, while shooing away a customer who tried to deposit a check. Some protesters left, but many remained.

Student protesters joined Occupy San Francisco demonstrators to denounce tuition increases.
