Hoods Placed On Seattle Sculpture As War Protest

SEATTLE -- One of the most popular public pieces of art in Seattle is being used to protest the abuse of prisoners in Iraq.

Black hoods have been placed over the heads of the five human figures and the dog in the sculpture "Waiting for the Interurban." And a chair was placed next to the sculpture and rigged with jumper cables to resemble a torture setup.

Taped to the leg of one of the figures was a sign announcing weekly peace vigils at a nearby lake. The first one, on Sunday, drew about 120 activists. More than 700 small white crosses were erected to represent U.S. casualties in the war in Iraq.

Not everyone wants to see hoods on the sculpture. Twice on Sunday they were removed, once by a man who was chased by war protesters after ripping the hoods off.

A poster recently posted a pic of a B/W abstract of the hooded prisoner standing on a box which was hung on an overpass. That was pretty damned effective as well.

Freedom of speech is not dead. We should do this nation wide.
:yourock:

Dang, I wish I had known, I would have gotton over there to have a look - good for them!

SOMETIMES IN AN EMERGENCY A PLASTIC SANDBAG HAS TO SUFFICE.



SOMETIMES NEEDING ENCOURAGEMENT

Note the Smiling guard’s admiring Stare at the soon to be covered model’s face. A bit of
coaxing and encouragement is sometimes needed before the model humbly accepts the new
“look” in Fashion wear



Note the smiling expression on the US ” helper” right



This is also done to entertain the troops and these 2 soldiers are properly impressed by the light
carnival atmosphere. Note the broad grin on the defender of “ Freedom” on the left.


SOMETIMES THE IRAQI “Refuses” altogether to Co-Operate. Then more harsh persuasion is
needed for the Fashion Model. Military working dogs without Muzzles are employed to bite the
Model in the SCROTUM and PENIS




HALLIBURTON HOMEWEAR has found that this step assures 92% compliance. For the
recalcitrant, Broom Handles vigorously shoved up the RECTUM usually up the rate, the final 8%


For 16 year old children General Boykin has found that ANAL RAPE filmed by Perky Princess
Lynndie England and her band of Pranksters of ABU GHRAIB loosens their tongues quickly

the hooded man comforting the little boy is heartbreaking. :-(

THERE ARE DOZENS OF STATUES IN EVER TOWN IN AMERIKA

Every Civil War general, horse and bronze statue of a pillar of the community should be wearing a copy from the BAG ON YOUR HEAD FOR FREEDOM COLLECTION. Call the papers and TV stations and make sure the photographer is there.

We will incorporate your work into our collection here.

The statue of Junipero Serra on Interstate 280 in San Mateo...

I wonder if Simon Jester will be out and about in the next few days.




It seems a pity to just stop here?

Who will be the first to stand up to these tyrants? Who will be the first to say NO TO TYRANNY ???

scared of nothing

Very powerful - it made my heart skip a beat. I'm grateful to the folks who did this. :yourock:

This is not vandalism. Nothing is harmed except the image of the TYRANT.

,...my town will be in shock tomorrow morning!!!!

In addition to the hood, he will be holding a sign that says, "THE WAR IS OVER!!!"

But, I must confess that I am scared shitless because I'll be doing this alone and only about 30 feet away from a sheriff's office. YIKES!!!

Nice touch.

or The Norwegian Fisherman at Golden Gardens
or the Troll under the Aurora Bridge.
Or Drinking Man at the Blue Moon Tavern.

"Waiting for Interurban" is better! Gotta love Fremont! Since we're talking, what about the outdoor sculptures in Kirkland? Would freak out the Eastside Freepers!

Someone comes up with the news story. Someone wants a picture and bingo, there it is. This is an incredible way to keep up with the real news.

It is so nice to see people all over the country speak up and out. Really nice to know there are others who see this administration and its minions and the RW as a real threat to this country and its life.

When Rummy got back from Jordan last week there was a hooded "person" (protester) in front of his house. I wish I'd kept the link (a Yahoo! link) that showed the picture.

I bet that woke Rummy up! :evilgrin:

This picture of the guy with the bag on his head will be the symbol of this UGLY WAR, in all the history books, 50 years from now.

That of a hooded, naked man and a grinning idiot of a woman.

I've been thinking we need a symbol even more meaningful and widespread than the yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree. This may be it!

stay tuned.
