Emmanuel Rahm used to work for Goldman Sachs. This summer, he closed multiple Chicago health and mental health clinics despite some nurses' offers to work for free to keep them open. Occupiers were removed. The Chicago teacher's union had to strike to get better conditions. The No NATO protesters were met with riot cops 15 deep and IIRC some are still in custody, being made an example of.

He's a rat bastard.
