Illegal advertising.



Kudos to the Light Brigade!

ffs

The American equivalent translates roughly as "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

At least in the NE USA.

Whatever it takes to keep the 1# safe. I love this line,


The three activists were ticketed for illegal advertising. “They really should have charged us with ‘bothering a rich person’s dinner party,’” Earle told artnet News, “because that’s what it’s really for.”

is only for the wealthy

The whole point was to confiscate the equipment to prevent further actions by the group. Of course, the charges will be dropped, but the damage is done.
This illegal bullshit is standard practice for NYPD as well as others. A lot of this went on with OWS, and we will see more of it, until the officers who perpetrated this face personal loss.
I am pro-Union, but Police Unions are notorious for protecting these miscreants.

As far as honoring David Koch, it's his Money they honor. At least Andrew Carnegie built Libraries for the people. Koch builds monuments for the Wealthy.

Thank you, ellenrr.

They weren't projecting messages promoting a product or service, that's advertising, they were making a statement, that's free speech. They should get a lawyer & sue.

If dollars are considered free speech, then photons are damn well certainly free speech!

If money is speech, sue and see how sorry they are for violating their civil rights. Better hurry though. The Koch's have probably already hired the Supremes to find that the Bill of Rights only applies to corporations.

Thanks for this information, ellenrr. I hope the young men can pursue this/sue NYC. David Koch and his NYPD goons need to learn the real meaning of Freedom of Speech.

... example of what we called in the old days, "guerilla theater"?

K and R

happily I did see a nice piece on the origin of peanut butter.

then other options become less objectionable. The 1%ers are sealing their own doom. I hope I live to see it happen.

Turtle man McConnell bemoans the attack on 1st Amendment rights that he envisioned in the vote to end the Citizens' United ruling, and yet confiscating a projector until after a convenient time in relation to the climate talks is deemed OK. Who are the real 1st Amendment betrayers?

I believe that art can save the world.

Love, Peace and Shelter.

I wonder why that date? I hope they get another projected I would donate to a kick starter campaign. The Koch's also own the Nypd. Why isn't mayor deblasio complaining about the confiscation?
