Protesters threaten to burn Brooklyn Bridge Flag
Indy Media

This is a press release to be sent out directly to all major media demanding the release of all jailed RNC protestors, and all political prisoners, or the Brooklyn Bridge flag (kidnapped last night) WILL be burned.

To Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Kelly, George Bush and the Republican Party:

As New York City residents and citizens around the country become increasingly outraged at the crackdown on democracy in the streets of New York City, and as these citizens continue to watch closely the situation of arrested demonstrators from the protests against the Republican Convention, these same said citizens awoke this morning, Sept. 1, 2004, to the sight of the Brooklyn Bridge without the symbol of supposed liberty and freedom that has for so long flown above that bridge.

Yes, the flag has been kidnapped, and is being held hostage, until the following demands are met:

1. The immediate release of all detained RNC protestors without any charge.

2. The immediate release of all political prisoners currently being held in the United States, including Mumua Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier and all those being held illegally at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

3. The immediate resignation of Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Kelly, FBI Director Mueller, Department of Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, and George W. Bush.

Until these conditions are met, human beings are continuing to be deprived of true freedom, and the flag meant to symbolize this freedom will remain a hostage.

You have until midnight tonight to fulfill these conditions, at which point the flag will be burned if the conditions have not been met.

To those who wrap themselves in the American flag, raise it over occupied lands around the globe, and speak of liberation abroad, we give you a choice: set them free and resign, or the FLAG WILL BURN.
 
LOL! way to get mainstream america on your side!

god, these people are fucking morons. check out their list of demands.
 
This is a joke right.

Is this that motherfucker who killed the Philadelphia cop in cold blood back in the 80's?

mumia abu jamal is one scary motherfucker. he has no support, whatsoever from the black community, because they see him as a scary freak who got what deserved. his only real support comes from fringe, radical leftist groups.

leonard peltier was a member of AIM, who gunned down 2 FBI agents in the 1970's. he fled to canada, was extradited back, and is currently rotting where he belongs, in jail (i would prefer to have him dead, though).

rage against the machine has a hard-on for the both of them. their song 'freedom', which is a very good song, politics aside, is actually about peltier. go watch the video.
 
The law says we can't just go around shooting liberals.

It's a stupid law

Yes, politics aside it is a very good song. I'd rather not watch the video though. I remember being in high school when he shot the cop. Years later, he changed religions and all of a sudden he is supposedly reborn and the charges were trumped up according to him and his now myriad of followers.

I lost all respect for Rage after they held a befefit concert for this murderer. The family of the fallen cop confronted the guitarist and drummer from Rage about their plight for this asshole on the Stern show. These guys had no clue of the truth only the issues of his imprisonment and being setup regardless of the countless witnesses black and white who saw the killing, blah blah blah.

And if this is true about the flag, funny and ironic how they are making *terrorsist type demands*.
 
Do you think they'll make a video tape of the flag burning?

I'm just surprised he didnt claim CIA agents injecting them with tracking devices and radioactive carcinogens while circulating through the crowd.

You guys know that lots of those "protestors" are actually neocons trying to make the crowd look bad.

who needs help looking 'bad' when communist front groups like ANSWER and anarchist groups like black bloc are there?

i bet the 'protestors' who beat up the cop were really RNC delegates, right? cheney paid them off with all of his new haliburton money he made from convincing bush to invade iraq, right?
 
with every political event there are instigators who dont necessarily represent the majoritites views

these guys are idiots
 
rofl.

when I saw the demands from #2 images of zach de la rocha and tom morello holding the flag hostage were flashing through my head
 
check out thier forums
ANYTHING goes
no censoring
crack open a beer and flail away for your team

Bridge flag captured by creeps


BY PETE DONOHUE and GREG GITTRICH
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

An American flag flying high atop the Brooklyn Bridge was apparently stolen by protesters during the second day of the Republican National Convention, the Daily News has learned.

The banner disappeared from one of the famed bridge's 273-foot towers sometime Tuesday, sources said.

A city transportation worker noticed the flag was missing yesterday morning, sources said.

"We notified the Police Department. We put a new flag up this afternoon and the police are investigating," Department of Transportation spokesman Tom Cocola said last night.

An anonymous press release posted on the Internet yesterday said the flag was being "held hostage." The statement demanded the release of "all jailed RNC protesters, and all political prisoners, or the Brooklyn Bridge flag (kidnapped last night) WILL be burned."

The statement, posted at nyc.indymedia.org, also called for the resignations of Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, FBI Director Robert Mueller, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge and President Bush.

If protestors accomplished the theft, they would have to have been skilled climbers or crazy, or perhaps both.

Scaling the iconic towers of the bridge is no easy task.

Specially trained DOT workers take great care when they make the climb to replace worn flags or to lower them in times of mourning.

The workers climb a giant cable that leads to a ladder, which extends to the tower platform, high above the East River. The task is so precarious, workers are tethered for safety and complete the job in tandem.

The landmark bridge has been under extremely tight security since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
