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.
At first I thought this was a joke.
Me too, until I saw Karl posted it...then I KNEW it wasn't.
Wow...I just flat out don't know what to say, that won't get me kicked off of FR for life.
I've never heard such an insane rant.
The flag on the Brooklyn Bridge isn't exactly accessible. Bet it's still up there.
This is equivalent to murder. They burning every soldier that ever served.
No punishment would be too harsh.
If this is for real, I think I'm gonna get really PO'd.
Kerry's supporters want to be just like him...burning American flags when we have troops overseas-disgusting.
No negotiating with hostage-takers, that's our policy
I am looking at a web cam shot....and there is a flag showing now on the Manhattan side....dont know about the Brooklyn Side....
there was a lot of PD activity on the bridge earlier today...
They must be confusing NYC with France.
Kerry supporters, remember Kerry don'y believe it's a crime to burn the American Flag...
Kerry supporters, remember Kerry doesn't believe it's a crime to burn the American Flag...
Shhhhhh......don't tell them that! ;-)
BA$TARDS!!!!!!
This is domestic terrorism. These a$$holes should be taken out and SHOT!
Please tell me this is a joke.
Kerry should call off his minions.
Definately KERRY supporters, they kidnapped the flag before they didn't kidnap it.
Tell me when and where, and I will rip someone's head clean off and s#it down their neck.
