Yesterday chains were installed at the bar in Freddy’s, on 6th Avenue and Dean. The building that houses the bar is slated to be demolished to make way for Atlantic Yards, and patrons/AY protesters will now be able to lock themselves to the bar when the wrecking ball materializes. The Associated Press had the following to say about the chain installation: “On Sunday, supporters bolted a chain to the establishment’s bar, and some patrons hundcuffed themselves to it for about an hour while sipping on pints of beer. They say they’ll do it again when authorities try to seize the property.”

look at the herb in the photo. he did’t even know that brooklyn was part of nyc 15 years ago. useless drain.
Benson said it best.
As usual, the turnout was low and the event purely symbolic. I’d bet my right arm that none of these people have ever so much as donated a penny to DDDB, which thankfully will not be in existence much longer thanks to the power of eminent domain.
Actually, it would be pretty funny to see these losers try to chain themselves to the bar the day the wrecking ball arrives. Of course, most of ’em would chicken out, but the rest would wind up at Rikers for a crash course in reality!
D-O-N-E-D-E-A-L!!!
This would have been more successful if they had bicycles and fake breasts.
I’d bet anyone that the minute the cameras were packed away, the chains came off.
Pathetic publicity stunt.
Grow up.
He knows when you’ve been sleeping, and know when you’re awake.
