But they can be bleached! Don't listen to the eagle! He is a liar!

From this day forward it is decreed that all American flags shall be sewn from Sunbrella fabric; it never fades.

and I agree...

Obama immediately called Putin, to find out what to do. Promised to close NYC within 6 months, so as not offend anyone

I would rather fight to the death than wear pleats!

The Scottish Ist battalion,'Black Watch' regiment, WWI, fought to the death wearing skirts with pleats. The enemy called them "Die Damen aux der Holle" or "The Lady's from Hell". They derisively called their lowland trench mates 'Black Jocks'. Anyone here that's taken a bath in a trench with their 'kit' on would instantly see the hygienic advantage of skirts with pleats....

Having said that I support your right to piss yourself, fight to the death, sans pleats

Maybe someone actually fell for the "Brooklyn Bridge for sale" scam. They were simply putting a flag on their new purchase.

NYPD Pursuing "Insider Angle" To Brooklyn Bridge White Flag Probe

At a press conference today, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton and Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence John Miller revealed what we know so far about this morning's white flag stunt on the Brooklyn Bridge. No suspects were announced, but Miller told reporters that four or five people may have been involved in the incident, and that at this time there does not appear to be any link to terrorism or politics.

...

Miller said the perpetrators brought aluminum pans to cover up the lights, and that they knew the right size of pan they'd need to cover them up.

...

Miller said there had been no "credible" claim of responsibility yet, adding that the investigation is pursuing an "insider angle" because of the perceived level of advanced preparation involved in the incident. A "number of people" have had access to the bridge, such as DOT contractors and July 4th fireworks workers, Miller said. He also cautioned that it would take "a lot of explosives" and "a big vehicle" to do significant structural damage to the bridge.

If apprehended, suspects could face charges of criminal trespass, malicious mischief, reckless endangerment.

Premeditation. Special circumstances. Now the death penalty's on the table.

[mota bhai 2,675]

The death penalty? For removing American flags and replacing them with white flags?
