Quote HistoryQuoted: There can't be that many companies making that type of flag in that size. It is only a matter of time until a search warrant is issued and executed on said company and the purchaser is revealed. A dedicated group of people could sew their own. It's not a particularly difficult task. Because of the size, the construction and materials may narrow things a bit though. So far, I haven't seen any information about those aspects.

LMAO they've got counter terrorists on this, and half of NYC is pissing its pants. 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. Quote HistoryQuoted:

"The New York Police Department has reportedly assigned three dozen elite investigators to catch the intruders who replaced the American flags on the Brooklyn Bridge with white flags early Tuesday morning. The New York Post reports that the officers were pulled from the department's homicide, counterterrorism, intelligence and transit units to assist in the investigation." Your tax dollars at work.

Somebody embarrassed the man by showing how thin and flimsy the veneer of protection is regardless of the amount of rights citizens have given up to achieve it.
The full weight of the system is going to come down on someone over this crime against the appearance of security and safety. |

I seriously think it is a graffiti type group. They will never catch them. Guys like Neckface and Banksy come to mind. Not sure the message but it is strong. I'm guessing "America has surrendered to the machine" "Faded American ideals" or something along those lines. There are a lot of graf type people in NY that hate the gov and will go to the extreme to get their message out there. Exit Through The Giftshop |

Well, if you're a NYC resident that is. I can only imagine the OT those guys are making. What NYPD actually needs to be investigating is the gap in their security that was exposed by a couple of clowns who scaled the bridge to swap a few flags; as well as their own agency's failure to secure the structure despite having officers stationed in patrol cars on both sides of the iconic, landmark bridge. Simply doing a perp walk when they apprehend the hipsters or kids who likely did the deed won't cut it. Oh wait; the people are probably stupid enough to buy it with enough media spin. |

I wonder if it was blurred out before this incident (could explain how the culprits knew the lay out and the size of the spotlights). |
