[QUOTE=Problem;52008582]I'd actually believe it if it turned out /pol/ cobbled together a shitty rocket or a homemade railgun with the sole purpose of knocking it out of orbit[/QUOTE]
How about mounting it on a weather balloon and calling it a LOIC?
shia raises the next flag in his mind.
/pol/ develops a psi ops program overnight.

[QUOTE=Arrk;52006595]Wait, the police told FACT that the flag being there is too dangerous?[/QUOTE]
Yes, it encourages trespassing and if somebody were to fall off of the roof FACT could be held partially responsible.

Man, that's such bullshit. Stuff like that pisses me off :/.
Like, if you are stupid enough to climb there and fall, how is it my fault you did it. Damn.

Welcome to the incredible UK legal system. It's filled with loads of stupid laws that don't clarify themselves properly resulting in home owners getting charged for a burglar hurting themselves because the idiot who wrote the law forgot to factor that stuff in.
[QUOTE=Hezzy;52000821]Imagine if you were silly enough to put a flag that you hoped wouldn't be stolen, in Liverpool, of all places.[/QUOTE]
pretty sure if you look at the crime stats for liverpool they're not at all as high as other cities in the UK
but y'know stereotypes and all, especially as a public servant :thinking:

Went to FACT today, can confirm the flag is down
Are actors wrong to capitalize on their fame to raise important issues? Of course not. Yes, the famous ones are making more money than most of us are. Does astroturf populist Donald Trump speak more for the average American than honest actors? All parties reflect the class divides and certainly Hollywood does as well. The points made by Lena Dunham and Ashley Judd relate more broadly to the persistence of inequality impacting women at all levels.
The focus here should be not on the right of the creative class to speak publicly, as this class is no more narcissistic than the media class. Both are fallible, but at least not hateful. The continued violent threats to these creative projects are proof of their value. We should be understanding how serious this is. Perhaps law enforcement should pay more attention to this concern than to the struggling Queensbridge Houses.
At such an ugly political moment may have been naive for the museum to have agreed to house such a project. But why don't we just circle the wagons for a bit and try to work together to confront the hate.
Anyways, as to anti Trump movement, I watched the stream for my research as [URL="https://www.upwork.com/"]upwork and [/URL][URL="http://acewriters.org"]essay experts[/URL] editor. From time to time, I saw wonderful interactions between people who went to the location to debate, sing, dance, or take a picture without incident. At times it affirmed what was best about people and community, and then briefly, there'd be those whose only goal, it seemed, was to disrupt the expression of others. It seemed desperate and theatrical. They were mostly young men who, it would be mentioned, were spurred to show up there from an online forum who did it to curtail anti-Trump sentiment and spread their nationalistic (and often white supremacist views).
The one thing I witnessed that I won't forget is a gentleman who silently stood in front of that camera for seven hours holding a sign that called attention to the death of his friend. He wanted people to call the mayor to insist that the area his friend was killed in (a couple of weeks before) be safer, somehow. At one point, close to noon, he started crying and no one around him seemed to notice. It went on for a few minutes (I was getting my coat on to drive down there just to hug him) before two women noticed and embraced him and cried with him. It was powerful. No narcissism. No political message. Just a friend who was demonstrating profound loss and the intention, born of his love, to do something that might bring meaning to a senseless murder.
