Starting with anyone who would use the word terrorism to describe this act.

If someone didn’t pay you to write this I’m sad you really exist.

For the record, I believe they would fly a black flag, but thanks for trying (and in any case: no)

Native hyperbole noted and to an extent seconded, but no.

I’d say the real “terrorism” here is from people who are quick to use that word to describe something that is obviously not terrorism. You’re just trying to sell something and you think it’s acceptable to use that word and try to scare people to accomplish that goal. Feckin’ moron.

It’s a wake up call telling us that we are not doing enough. They could have really done a lot of harm. I don’t feel as safe as I did and don’t feel confident in the work the police and homeland .security are doing

The difference between a hipster and a terrorist is in the facial hair grooming and, especially, manscaping. NYPD can do DNA sampling on hair residue on flags and figure it out toot sweet…

This is a serious breech of security. A time-bomb could just as easily been placed there.

The violent flag switch which left Brooklyn cowering in fear. 7/22, never forget. We will rebuild.

If its a stunt, it’s a stupid stunt. If you deny that we live in a world of terror you sir, are an a-hole. The white flag in the west means “Surrender or Truce” Bono waves it, liberals seem okay with giving up. In Islam, the white flag is divinely handed to the amir (leader) of the army by the “prophet” Mohammed, who himself carried a white flag in the battle of Badr, a turning point in Islamofundamentalism. Meanwhile Jesus cured the sick. Back to the white flag of Islam, the flag is raised brazenly at the location of the amir. Yay Brooklyn!

It will take many many executions to make America a better place to live in.

If it’s those Occupy Wall Street idiots or Anonymous they are terrorists.

Yeah, I think you might have a different definition of “terror” than the rest of us.

Whether you’re a Repug or a Libtard you are really missing something here. There’s a thin line between a hipster and a terrorist.

This is satire, right? It isn’t, is it? If you truly believe this qualifies as terrorism then you must be a person of superior intelligence, in which case, I have a bridge to sell ya.

How is that unreasonable? And I’m only saying for a few weeks.

Doesn’t an act of terrorism require …oh, I don’t know, maybe some terror?

Posting bleached American flags may be trespass and may require prosecution, but living amongst neighbors who want to place trespassers in the tropical gulag we call Gitmo? Now that’s scary.

This is spot on. Who knows that sort of next move these creeps have in mind? Don’t care it they turn out to be harmless, a few weeks in Gitmo should get them straight.
