Frank Rizzo would have never put up with this garbage.

[Mears]

My God,I forgot all about Frank Rizzo.

You’re right-—he wouldn’t put up with it.

A “day of action” means something entirely different to these people.

I started watching FOX helicopter views when I posted that. They showed a message being projected on the Verizon building near the Brooklyn Bridge. This is more organized than we think...it’s not all about the “hippies” in the park.

I have found bits and pieces of the message...hopefully, I’ll find a full length video..

Yea I saw that projection, they can change it.

Shining on the Verizon bldg

I have one that rotates with a pumpkin in the middle, and candy on the outside.

It says Happy Halloween.

I amazed small kids (and parents) with it on Halloween...lol

Do you have a mortgage? Is it for under one million dollars? If so, go into the bank and tell them you want 3 months of no payments, or that you want two years of interest only and that you want that interest to be prime plus one.

Here’s a video showing a little more.

Wow that is pretty sophisticated!

They took five tons of garbage out of that park when they cleaned it. That didn't include the weight of the garbage people.

4:02 PMAnjali MullanyIn Union Square, the crowd has swelled to over 500 protesters.

Using the human mic, protesters called out to ask which schools are represented at the rally.

"NYU? - the crowd exploded.

"Hunter?" - the crowd exploded.

"Any CUNY school?" - the crowd exploded.

"Columbia?" - dead silence. After some nervous laughter, the boos rang out.

LOL!

I saw the cops from my office at the Harris County courthouse today. Evidently the protesters tried to block the Travis Street ramp onto 45 North. Luckily, it sounds like HPD took care of business - that commute is bad enough on the best of days.

I saw a group of 30 or so outside the criminal courthouse a couple weeks ago. The group was so insignificant compared to the usual line waiting to get in that they had to be pointed out to me.

Nice to see how ineffective they are here in the heart of the Evil Empire.

LOL garbage creating garbage...

“Wow that is pretty sophisticated!”

I think I’d like your pumpkin better. :)
