Brooklyn residents packed a small park named for Beastie Boys Adam Yauch (a.k.a. MCA) on Sunday morning at an anti-hate rally organized after vandals tagged playground equipment with swastikas and pro-Trump graffiti on Friday. Members of the crowd carried signs with Beastie Boys-themed slogans like, No sleep til no hate in Brooklyn, and decorated the location of the painted-over graffiti with paper hearts, flowers, and chalk.
Beastie Boys Ad-Rock was in attendance, and addressed the crowd on a megaphone. Spray painting swastikas in a childrens playground is a messed-up thing to do, he said. And for many of us, it has special meaning, because this park is named for Adam Yauch, who was my friend and bandmate for over 30 years. But he was also someone who taught non-violence in his music, in his lifeto all of us, and to me.

I think Horowitz is being used here...
A leftist pretending to be a Nazi.
Or maybe he’s fully well part of the problem.. who knows?
Still kind of strange that they haven’t figured out who did this... aren’t there security cameras looking down on that park 24/7 ??
I take it this is the “Fake News” we keep hearing about. Especially when you consider they were non-swastika swastikas.
It was Sabotage!
Of course like all the other hoaxes, a week later, after the news cycle digests the story, they’ll find out the “pro-Trump fascism” was Soros-inspired smear campaign vandalism.
Someone from Brooklyn... who voted 80% Hillary
Someone who engages in ‘tagging,’ the protest of choice of kids in the cities.
Someone who knows where MCA’s grave is...
Yeah... this is real.
I see what you did there...
I don’t really know or care what the Beastie Boys’ politics are, but I have a lot of love for their music from back in my teen days - also admire their support for Tibetan independence from the PRC. That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to get “Paul’s Boutique” on vinyl.
Nice reference.
Hey folks, it’s Brooklyn, not Richmond, VA.
Thanks very much - watching it right now. So...many...celebrities lol.
You’re welcome. I was enthralled the first time I watched it.
One of my all-time favorite videos.
“But he was also someone who taught non-violence in his music...”
Well, maybe like this:
He pulled out his shotgun
He was quick on the draw, I thought I’d be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,
“Now my name is M.C.A., I’ve got a license to kill
I think you know what time it is, it’s time to get ill
Now what do we have here an outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand, I make myself clear.”
“Now I got the gun, you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It’s not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me”
I hate it when stupid druggie musicians hold anti-hate rallies.
I hate it when stupid druggie musicians hold anti-hate rallies.
It occurs to me that white supremicists would know how to spray paint a swastika.
