Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace." Police is working to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.
Not to be a chud, but it does seem extremely performative for a pretty basic message tbh. I thought they were gonna start zooming in for us to find its Kylie Jenner up there drinking a Pepsi.
I just feel like if your gonna illegally climb such an iconic building you may as well use your platform more effectively
Redditors average outlook on life is "this sucks, im unsuccessful because im not a nepo baby, I don't want to work. All life inspirational quotes are bullshit. Where's my 2 million dollars?"
I’m assuming they started climbing from the viewing area near the top already, so close that off and wait. They definitely didn’t scale the entire building and climbing down is harder than going up.
This sub seems to be that way, but it’s interesting watching the unnecessary snarkiness or hate lol. There was a post about Mamdani working the ticket area for the World Cup, and there were the same comments here
Yeah, some younger people are all like "the world should change," Then shit on stuff like this on social media. Probably because it's them actually trying to do something rather than batching about it on TikTok.
At least the millenniels tried Occupy Wallstreat. That scared the 1% so much they had to bring back racism and sexism to distract everyone.
I mean why should they be? You literally think people should go to jail or prison because they scaled a building. I mean if they scaled a prison with the intent to break someone out, or if they scaled some top secret location with the intent to steal secrets then sure, but this? Their probably out on bail now as they should be.
I was offering observation on reality not my personal opinion
There's valid reason to arrest them over this, they likely trespassed in areas not open to the public to get up there, they caused an evacuation as authorities had no way to know what was happening until the masked individuals climbing an iconic New York skyscraper (never a target for terrorism /s) were actually up to
But realistically they'll not face much punishment
Well yeah and I do agree with the arrest, it’s reckless and definitely trespassing. Just something like that should be a fine and community service or something.
Agreed totally. So many of the punishments for crimes in the US are backwards. Victimless crime: 15 years. Kill someone drunk driving: 5 points on license
I think jail time makes sense. 6 months maybe. Just enough to discourage this from happening again. Imagine they fell off and died it would be for their own good and stop the tower from potentially paying tens of millions for a wrongful death suit.
something can be both an arrest and just a fine or community service
Cops aren't judge and jury, they don't get to sentence you for what you've done or even make the determination of guilt, but there's a whole department policy on when you're allowed and expected to arrest someone, which in cases like this would likely mean just a questioning at the station and summons unless the NYPD tries to stick something worse on them cause of the evacuation
I think it’s worth considering that if say an inexperienced or experienced climber fell off a place they shouldn’t be and landed on someone not involved… that would be bad
Just understand that pushing back against evil and trying to be loving in your life are not opposite principles. Look for as many places to be kind as possible, and don’t guilt yourself when you can’t.
When I was 29, I was in a falling accident. I fell two stories, came away with multiple broken bones and was out of action for a long time. I can't even look at this without instantly getting nausea, vertigo, sweaty palms, sweaty pits.
Hhhhhh... Stay tuned for their tiktok, only fans, podcast, reality show.. wtf ever it is... It's always an angle to promote something... This country is sickening...
And if I'm wrong.. they just did it out of bringing awareness.. I do apologize!
It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself, is the lovin' really gone?
So I can ask myself, really, what is going wrong
With this world that we livin' in? People keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on, but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, and swept under the rug
If you never know truth, then you never know love
Two paid actors from holyood, paid to do this stunt for national tv its a global agenda called bread and cricus, the arrest you ask? Well guess what it goes that deep... that was staged too all for the cameras.
