#DefendJodie Day16. In Which We Try To Deliver a Letter To Morgan Stanley But Shut Down a Skyscraper

They must have known we were coming. All fifteen peeps from Occupy Oakland's Foreclosure Defense Group and allies, crossing over to San Francisco on a trek to Morgan Stanley's office building. And I guess they weren't happy about it. Barricades were deployed around the entire edifice, security guards locked down the building and stood ready for what they must have believed was armegeddon to be. A 40-story monolith went silent because... Jodie Randolph, armed with a letter, wanted to deliver it to John Sheldon, Executive Director of Morgan Stanley San Francisco. It asked that someone she could negotiate with be assigned to her case. That's all. We didn't even have one single mask on! Honest!
