All that monitoring and surveillance and secret squirrel teams and such, and nobody noticed the flags going up? All of that is just for show, whomever did this is suprisingly clever. I doubt they will ever get caught... Were they wearing Guy Fawkes masks? The Faded flag message does say quite a bit... very powerful message. |

That close to water, shouldn't they be wearing life jackets? Remember, safety first. Do these idiots even know how to fold a flag? Somehow I think if they fall off the bridge, the life jacket will not save them. It would make recovering the remains easier though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. Well the defense to trespass to land is either public or private necessity.

They will end up flash banging some baby over this. If it were terrorists doing this, the bridge would've been blown up. They wouldn't mess with some statement. But, this will be a good excuse by the gov't to get the public to panic and trade in some freedom for security. |
