Tampa Men Didn't Drive 20 Minutes Out Of The Way To Attend A JP Morgan Shareholder Meeting Without A Single Altercation Between Security And Group Of Protestors Who'd Spelled 'Harpoon This' Across Their Chests
JP Morgan Chase & Co.’s fairly quiet shareholder meeting in Tampa, Fla., disappointed two locals. They came for entertainment, but all they got was a free lunch. John Williams, 34, and Chris Taylor, 40, drove about 20 minutes to the J.P. Morgan office complex about 10 miles east of downtown Tampa. The Tampa locals arrived at 8 a.m. prepped with fold-up picnic chairs, a cooler of food and a gallon bottle of water expecting protesters, Messrs. Williams and Taylor said...Messrs. Williams and Taylor set up shop outside a batch of port-a-potties near the entrance to J.P. Morgan’s office complex and geared up for protests. None sprung up...The two men said they expected some entertainment but by 11:45 a.m., with the meeting over for almost an hour and shareholders driving away, they realized they were out of luck.
