Metaphor Is Not a Crime

Occupy protestor arrested for bank robbery for holding sign outside bank warning customers they were (figuratively) being robbed.

An Occupy Easton protester faces an attempted bank robbery charge following an arrest at an organized event at a bank – during which the "Occupier" was holding a sign that reportedly read "You're being robbed."

According to The Express-Times, Dave Gorczynski allegedly held cardboard signs outside a Wells Fargo Branch that read, "You're being robbed," while the other said, "Give a man a gun, he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank, and he can rob a country."

Occupy Easton reports on their Facebook page that Gorczynski "was at the bank protesting the theft of our tax dollars, our homes, and our economy by the criminal banksters."
