So This Is Freedom Of Expression?

Do ya'll see this -ish? The dude who put this up, calls it "art". The artist, Yazmany Arboleda, set this up in an empty store front right across the street from the NY Times building. He wanted to make sure he got the attention that piece of shitart deserved. Within 30 minutes, the NYPD, FBI, and the secret service, came and put dude out of commission. The exhibit was shut down before anyone could really see it. The police tried to cover the words The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama, with brown paper. I'm assuming ol' boy took his Constitutional Amendment Rights literally, thinking that this "freedom of speech" would be protected under those rights! Uhhh, yeah, ok! In an interview Arboleda stated:
“It’s art. It’s not supposed to be harmful. It’s about character assassination — about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.” He added, “It’s about the media.”
Dude, do you forget where you're at? This -ish ain't taken lightly homie! You are sho'nuff playin with fire on this one buddy, and you damn sho' about to get burnt! I had to take it hood on ya'll, because he obviously don't understand it in white boy terms.
