All that monitoring and surveillance and secret squirrel teams and such, and nobody noticed the flags going up? Shows you just how effective all of the billions of dollars we pour into anti-terrorism this and homeland security that really comes out to in the wash. Someone or multiple someone's managed to scale one of the most iconic landmarks in probably the most heavily monitored city in America (possible exception of D.C.) and no one noticed. Security theatre.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams issued a statement, saying "If flying a white flag atop the Brooklyn Bridge is someone’s idea of a joke, I’m not laughing.” "The public safety of our city is of paramount importance, particularly our landmarks and bridges that are already known to be high-risk targets,” he said. "We will not surrender our public safety to anyone, at any time. Political and social expression, whatever its message may be, has a place in our society, but not at the expense of others’ security.” Pure horseshit, but scary. |

I never saw the jet ski article before, that was pretty good and it isn't trespassing when your jet ski conks out and you swim to shore. Everyone who went to law school read the case about the guy forced to shore by a storm who could not be charged with trespass because it was an emergency.
Seems like there is something wrong with the coloring on the flags and the coating or something finally came off over night.

If the guy had swam up to some rich guy's private dock, he wouldn't have been charged with trespassing. But he did the same thing for the same justifiable reason at an airport where the government has made its own special rules, and then its agents got butthurt that the guy dared to set foot on their special tarmac rather than drown.
