Two large white flags, possibly indicating a complete surrender to the forces of gentrification, have been spotted atop the Brooklyn Bridge. Several tipsters have sent us photos of the flags, which upon closer inspection appear to be whitewashed or weathered American flags. So maybe it's America that's "over," not Brooklyn?
One passerby, Rick Bruner, says, "I ride my bike over most every morning and the normal flags are not faded, so this is definitely something different. I didn’t know if it was for a protest or a movie?"
A DOT spokesperson referred us to the NYPD. An NYPD spokesperson says, "We're looking into some possible incident with the flag that's on the bridge. We don't know yet, we're waiting for information from units that responded." Jasper Johns better have an airtight alibi.

ReplyDeleteNew York has some of the most pervasive and intrusive surveillance of citizens on the PLANET. China looks to them for inspiration.

Good thing it wasn't an atomic weapon, brought across the Mexican border, which according to Donald Rumsfeld, is not an "if" but a "when" issue.
I suppose the police in New York are too busy killing people for selling some single cigarettes....
they took away the bike paths. pedestrians now rule. it's the biker groups.
ReplyDelete12:24 - I find it interesting that you can dish it out, but you can't take it! I bet your face was beat red when you read 12:07's comment. Of course you never answered the question now, did you?
ReplyDelete12:07 Bush was in office only 8 months. If you remember correctly Bill Clinton had several attacks on his watch but refused to deal with it. Similar to what's happening now.
ReplyDeleteYup, America is due for another hit. I only hope that this time when folks when up they stay awake.
a high-ranking city official said something to the effect of, 'theres a place for social and political expression, but not when it takes away from someone else.'
