Creeps who swiped a Lady Liberty replica from outside Brooklyn coffee and book shop last month have posted a sick Web video showing them sawing off the statue’s blindfolded head.
The YouTube video, which the NYPD is investigating, ends with the slogan “Death to America” appearing on the screen.
It evokes the terrorist-produced videos of the decapitations of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and American entrepreneur Nicholas Berg. The Fiberglas statue, which stands 8 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds, until June 21 stood outside the Vox Pop shop on Cortelyou Road in Ditmas Park.
As Liberty’s head is being sawed off in the video, the words, “We don’t want your freedom” are flashed on the screen.
terrorists are known fans of fonts and music that look like they came from a Super Nintendo game.
Yea don’t worry we are destroying our freedom faster than any micky mouse outfit could ever dream about.
#13 – with the exception of murder, I really don’t care motivates a person to commit a crime.
If you get beat up or robbed, does it make any worse (for you) if the guy hates you or not?
I make the exception for murder since by it’s definition, there must be some intention involved. But once the intent to commit the crime is proven, it doesn’t matter to the victim whether hate was involved.
Burn a flag you are a terrorist! These guys are losers and thieves, not terrorists.
#8 “…a statue of Mohammed…”
There are none. They are not allowed in Islam. Nor are any deceptions of Uncle Mo allowed.
The only artistic depiction of Uncle Mo that exists, that I am aware of, is a stone sculpture on the frieze in the main chambers of the US Supreme Court. He is holding a sword and the Koran. That has the panties of some Muslims in a twist. CAIR has demanded that it be removed. So far, the Supreme Court has refused.
“..people who dont like freedom…”
Who the hell doesn’t like freedom? This sounds like crap from the mouth of Dubya.
This has all the hallmarks of a drunken college boy prank. Perhaps they have watched too much Simpsons and thought it was a statue of Jebediah Springfield.
“Chilling”… Seriously?!
C’mon, at worst this is a limp-wristed slap in the face of the USA. It’s pure trollbait. It’s more likely a domestic prank.
It reminds me of the cocky machao-man who got on Serb TV waving bits of wreckage when a stealth fighter was downed there years ago.
seems a strange video.
They even went to give it “nice lighting” and various post filter effects. The font and sound look as though they came from an 80′s game.
They are using a power saw, a saw and than a worn out baseball bat. At 46 second mark you can see the hands ungloved.
I go with # 2.
Maybe it’ll offend the French. I could give a crap either way.
Is there no one else who believes that this is the act of a right wing nut-job. All of the circumstances point to racist kids who want to show how “George Bush was right… See?Terrorists stole a statue and killed it.You should be scared!”
Hating freedom is bull. That is so much the right wing propaganda. The maker of that video bought a camcorder, a computer, power tools, a rope, editing software. He’s just stimulated the economy more than Rush Limbaugh placing an order on RX.com. Hate freedom……right.
I think the Super Mario-esque font used in the video severely diminishes any sincerity the video makers may possibly have intended for it to have.
You’re as bad as the ones who point and blame lib’ruls everytime a storm cloud passes over.
This blame game is so tiresome.
Twenty years ago, this wouldn’t have happened. Know why?
No U-Tube, No Internet, No idiots paying undeserved attention to idiocy.
Guess this is what freedom means to some.
