| Demos at Homes of HLS Supporters on Long Island |
April 21th 2007 |
On Saturday, 8 demos took place on Long Island! The first stop featured neighbors regretting that activists were returning. They are getting angry with Mark Marsilio of Wyeth. The group was serenaded with the reggae song “Move It”, which is exactly what Mark needs to do. Activists used evasive driving techniques to lose feds following them to the next location. Vijay Kedia was provided an information packet about Flextrade's relationship with ARCA, as they are a very important company for the NYSE company. He was very polite and promised to do something as the CEO of Flextrade. David Carey, attorney for ARCA may not have been home, but his son took an information packet to inform his Dad.
Susan Martinez (District Manager of Wyeth) was home and, despite being on a long-distance phone call with her child in a stroller, requested information be left in her mailbox. She was also informed by the activists that she can do something to stop the torture of 500 animals daily. A majority of neighbors disapproved of Mrs. Martinez's character and told us they would have been out with us if not busy with household chores and afraid of Susan's wrath. Colin Goddard (CEO of OSI Pharmaceuticals, shares the board of directors with Robert Ingram, Vice Chairman for GlaxoSmithKline, one of HLS's top 3 largest investors/customers) wasn't as receptive, though his ears surely were during a demo at his mansion. A neighbor and/or private investigator couldn't control himself and showed the effects of drug dependency, claiming that if the activists were sick they'd turn to GlaxoSmithKline. He forgot to mention that this would only be the case for someone who is suicidal.
Roy Rowsell, attorney for ARCA, did not come out of his house. Instead, his wife said he didn't live there despite saying, “Roy, there are people at the door!” The demo ensued explaining ARCA's role in perpetrating HLS' reign of terror. Neighbors with their companion animals give hope that the message will be heard and Roy can no longer hide. Mark Robson of FXMarketspace showed no interest in the issue of his company's relations with Flextrade and ARCA, but he cannot claim to deny knowing Vijay Kedia, despite being on a press release with him about FXMarketspace and Flextrade's alliance.
As one group was headed to the next demo, a duck appeared injured in the median. Activists immediately stopped their car, turned on the hazards, and were amazed that the duck was able to cross the street into the grassy area. One of the duck's wings were injured, probably by a passing car, but the duck was able to muster enough energy to fly away and swim on a nearby pond. With this inspiration, the activists ended the full day of demos at the residence of Richard Dapcic. He was unable to deny his role in the killings, nor would he have been heard amidst a quick, effective shout out session that brought out an annoyed next door neighbor who was given info about HLS as activists rushed back to their cars. Activists were able to avoid police confrontation at all locations and no problems occured.
