    Someone should ask Victoria Benitez Its funny on Halloween they do the same thing and it is OK I wonder why

  • I guess if you-re looking for it...

    If the mannequins were black I’d certainly agree they should be taken down. But they’re not, so the racial element is missing. No ethnic group has a “monopoly” on the general concept of hanging — just like Jews don’t have a monopoly of people being gassed, and New Yorkers don’t have a monopoly on buildings being destroyed. It’s only once you add in specific or identifying characteristics that it becomes offensive.

    That is because the people who are offended, don’t know what its about, and I”m not sure in BPark if they are the type to reach out to explain it.

    So who ever thought that this would not cause a stir in the vocal liberal media connected majority in NY?

    Furthermore, who ever thought it was a pretty (or funny) sight? Is it so obvious who those hanging are? Over the centuries, who has hung whom, most often.

    Personally, although I am still hanging in there, I don’t consider it humor, cute or smart shtik, nor a decent expression of today’s issues. Well, we must assume that the hangmen did not think it wise to have them wearing a kaffiyeh. For us it would have been far more appropriate (how about an effigy of Ahmadinejad) but coming with a certain level of security risk.

    I dont see why it’s offensive to anyone, but it definitely is a bit graphic and disturbing. I do not approve and would probably complain as well.
