14 DAY TRIAL // This past weekend, on Saturday, a plane carrying a swastika banner was seen flying over Brighton Beach and Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York City.
Not at all surprisingly, the folks who got to see this plane and the ginormous banner trailing it, together with those who only heard about the event once photos made it online, pretty much freaked out.
More so given the fact that, to add insult to injury, the aircraft made an appearance in an urban area known to accommodate for the largest number of remaining World War II and Holocaust survivors.
“Flying this hateful banner is an outrageous and hurtful act,” said Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, echoing the thoughts of pretty much everybody who laid eyes on the plane on Saturday.
Before anybody starts blaming folks who for some reason appreciate Hitler's work for this stunt, it must be said that the banner was not flown over Brooklyn to promote the dictator's ideas and ideals.
Thus, New York Daily News tells us the banner was the work of a group looking to remind people that, long ago, the swastika was a symbol of well-being, and that Hitler was the one who ruined its significance.
Hence the fact that the banner read in symbols that a swastika and peace add up to love, and also had the word “Proswastika” in capital letters written on it.
