Charlotte Wimer and Gray Segal, both 18, arrested after ripping down Hamas hostage posters in NYC

Two young men were arrested for tearing down posters of hostages kidnapped in the Israel-Hamas war that were hung up outside a private property in Gramercy Park, police said Thursday.

Charlotte Wimer, who uses he/him pronouns, and Gray Segal, both 18, were arrested just after 5 p.m. Wednesday after they were caught ripping down posters of Israeli children and adults kidnapped by the terrorist group on display outside 201 East 23rd Street, cops said.

Both Wimer and Segal, who live on the Lower East Side, were charged with criminal mischief, police said.

Video taken moments after the incident and shared on X shows the two men in handcuffs standing in front of the disheveled wall of posters.

Before the incident, the wall of the privately-owned building had been completely covered in red and white signs with the word “KIDNAPPED” written in all caps above photographs of missing hostages, as well as posters of the Israeli flag. Photo taken Thursday afternoon and shared under the initial video on X showed that new posters had been put up in place of the ones that were callously torn down.

Posters drawing attention to the 240 people who were taken hostage by Hamas during the terror group’s Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel have been plastered all across the Big Apple as a way to draw attention to their plight.

Over the past month, countless individuals have been filmed across the five boroughs tearing down or vandalizing the hostage posters — a disturbing trend that has been blasted by city leaders as antisemitic and inhumane

Most of my friends I had back in NY were Jewish. They were intelligent, kind, and had a sense of purpose and self worth. They were all members of a conservative temple. I never fully appreciated my Jewish friends disdain for the reform Jews. Now, I understand.

I suspect that these two idiots are reform Jews just like Garland, Yellen, Mayorkas, Levine, Blinken etc.

I support the hostages.

But I don’t understand why it is criminal to tear posters down.

Posters of any type.

People abandon them there. They are on public property like poles? So why can’t you take something down? If on private property with owners permission I understand that.

It is vandalism to tear things off of private property. This was on a wall belonging to someone. They had no business tearing up his stuff.

I got involved in politics, and ran into the intel op which runs it. I have been dealing with it for ten years now. What have I learned? Most of politics is a show, to convince you that you live in a country where you elect the leaders, and have control. None of that is true. The “intelligence” community runs the country and is in full control, even picking the leaders.

From my experience, this is most likely a show/psyop by them. The posters are to irritate those who oppose Israel bombing Hamas and probably to distract from the clear fact the attacks were allowed by Israeli intel, and maybe even created as part of a plan for some greater purpose by those who control both Israeli Intel and Hamas. The real elites who control the West may want Gaza for something. To them the lives of Israelis, Gazans, even us, are all worthless and expendable.

These characters may very well be part of the domestic Stasi surveillance operation in the US, who were running surveillance on political actors just yesterday, and were told to play this role. I think most of the January sixth people were that too. If so, their arrest is also a show/psyop, both to engender a perception among people that even something as minor as ripping down a poster which was probably put up illegally to begin with, can have the state throw you in the slammer on hate crime charges, and to discourage anyone from getting involved in anything, or in any way interfering with the show being put on.

Normies have no idea how bad it is.

I did make the private/public property distinction. I agree if it is private property with permission, then it is wrong to tear anything down.

I think you miss the point. Hamas is using these two. They are Useful Idiots.

Yes, but the useful idiots have the same goals as Hamas, the deconstruction of the west.

Queers know they cannot go to any Mohammedan country, but they cheer them on when the enemy is Christianity.

“It can use any pronouns it desires, but I will refer to it using its correct biological sex pronouns.”

The idiots never learned that pronouns such as she/her, he/him and it/idiot are speech of the speaker and not of the person being spoken about. I can call it “her” if I wish.

“Yes, but the useful idiots have the same goals as Hamas, the deconstruction of the west”.

And they will eliminate the Useful Idiots once they are no longer needed.

The Useful Idiots are referred to as Useful Idiots for a reason. They don’t have a clue how they’re being used.

The only thing they have in common (as you alluded to) is their hate for Christianity.

The video of an entitled lefty in this article is hilarious. She is being arrested for drunk-driving and uses every “check the box” excuse as to why the officer shouldn’t even bother her.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/11/bodycam_footage_from_the_dui_arrest_of_a_leftist_is_sublime_schadenfreude.html

“Bodycam footage from the DUI arrest of a leftist is sublime schadenfreude”

My favorite part:

“As the officer goes to begin the field sobriety test, she again reminds him that she suffers from “really bad social anxiety,” but he’s growing increasingly annoyed and unsympathetic, so he sarcastically responds, “you and me both.” She’s incensed because her sob story isn’t working, so she looks him up and down, flippantly says “okayyyy,” and accepts her defeat.”

Classic!

“generational trauma” and “PTSD around white people.”

She should get a one way ticket to the Sudan. I’m sure she will thoroughly enjoy living in the “Land of the Blacks”

“I said ‘You shouldn’t be doing this. You do that, you’re going to get your ass licked and nobody will feel sorry for you.'”

But they like that.

Why did they pick Trump in '16?
