that's my youtube video! gimme a shout out!

It's well-known that cops hate pandas. And if you're an African American panda, like the one in the picture above, watch out?

Uhh, what happened to actual political protests? People need to organize something besides elaborate childhood fantasies.

Hey maybe in this apathetic state of affairs we live in throwing an illegal street party in the heart of yuppiedom IS political, what are you organizing?
Up the Pandas!

and what exactly was the point of your little march? You guys are pathetic. I wish the cops had opened fire on all of you. where do you people come from anyway? what underdeveloped third world state did you move here from. please do us all a favor and go back. you all come here with your guitars and your pipe dreams thinking you have what it takes to be the next Bob Dylan. you are nothing but talentless posers. with your thrift shop clothes. how come you all look the same? IDIOTS!!
I've been living in Williamsburg for close to twenty years and I don't mind the "yuppies" but I can't stand you talentless hipster wannabes

on one hand, i agree, a lot of these people really couldn't tell you much about the intricacies of karl rove's bio, or the details on abu ghraib, but on the other hand, nobody seems to think that the 60s-style protests are the "in" thing this time around (especially the media, administration and revised constitution), so maybe reducing the message to people having fun vs. cops trying to kill them for it will wake up the ignorant. soon enough this will no longer be about ignoring iraq. it will be about convincing your uncle cop he's on the wrong path.

What would you protest? The War that's massively unpopular and probably drawing to a close? The new Omnibus Farm Subsidy bill? DC v Heller?

It's not a political issue; these aren't political times. In my opinion, the kinds of attitudes that result in kids dancing in the street in August getting beaten by cops are the most protest-worthy targets right now.

Hey 'Ihatehipsters', are you insane or retarded?

1) It wasn't a march, it was a gathering. Which is technically supposed to be protected by the constitution.

2) What the hell does your rant about 'you people' come from? If it has to do with the type of gathering I could say all the same things about people on their way to the RNC.

3) They didn't have instruments you jackass, they had jukeboxes to listen to music, they weren't performing it. You're so blinded by rage against an ambivalent group you fail to even understand basic context? Sad.

4) If you like the yuppies so much then keep your hands in their wallets and on their balls- well away from the keyboard where you spew brain turds onto the interwebs.

Yeah, living in New York City looks so cool.

/sarcasm off

Hipsters getting the beatdown, always funny.

Hey look at me, im a crazy dancing drug-addled hipster doofus retard! Look at me, look at me!

Are we still learning about our bill of rights in schools these days? Just to refresh your memory, the FIRST one is as follows: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
What that means to us citizens, is, if we want to get together for any reason we feel like, and we're not causing harm to the general public we have the right to do so. Like it or not. While we're at it, lets all look at good ol' #4. you know the Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Freedom is all or nothing. Start understanding our rights or you will loose them.

Hipster posturing is possibly the single most ridiculous phenomenon of the new millenium.

I'm glad I don't live in a town infested with you idiots, the only pretentious assholes I have to deal with are ones who actually have something to offer, and they're far more tolerable.

So williamsburg is dead because hipsters arrived? well as a middle class yuppie i think it was just a plain good idea to dress as pandas and throw a party- if for no better reason than to have fun. i don't even like hipsters because they all are way too skinny and make me feel bad that they're hungry- however i was planning on attending because of the sheer genius of the event. Whatever happened to fun for the sake of it? Isn't there a little too much other shit going on in the world for folks to crap on someone else's party? Don't you people (as in cops, naysayers, and bitter old guys in the balcony) have enough other things to concentrate on than a few hundred kids dressed as pandas dancing? i say bravo and keep the creativity flowing. Maybe someone will have an epiphany on how to save the world. All ya need is love. geesh- back OFF people.

Sadly, when I see a vid of cops giving the ruff up and beat down on folks 9 times out of 10 the 'victim' usually deserves it. Sigh. . .

AHHHHH funniest shit i've seen..

fuck out of BK!!!

DEATH TO HIPSTERS!!!

Beating up hipsters is eugenic. People who think life is about dancing in panda suits are self-pleased with the trivial to a degree that requires vicious, flesh rending beating. Go NYPD!

Though I don't agree with hipsters and their Pabst Blue Ribbon ways, I do enjoy chaos for the sake of fun.

Give me one good reason, naysayers, why cops have the right to beat people dressed as pandas and having a good time. Just one. So far it seems most of you are jealous, wondering how someone would want to do something irrational and fun, instead of being locked to a T.V. watching the same old same old.

Go pandas! Boo cops.

hey DorianGrey. I don't think it's "politically correct" to use the term "Retard" what kind of liberal are you?? you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
and speaking of retards it looks like you're the one riding the little yellow school bus because YOU MISSED THE POINT but don't feel bad I'm sure the rest of the hipsters did too. you're all so blinded by your elitist BS. I HATE HIPSTERS. wannabe hippies with no real cause. it's nice when mommy and daddy pay you're rent. please do Williamsburg a favor and move the Astoria. I hear it's real nice there.

Hey You Kids! Get Off MY LAWN!!!

wow.. just another reason why i moved out of williamsburg. I should i say.. moved off campus. you are trying to take NYC back? back to what? you idiots aren't even from New York! you all moved here from the midwest to reinvent yourselves. so pathetic.

It seems like everyone is up in arms for the wrong reason here. So what if you hate hipsters? That isn't the point; NYPD beat down on a bunch of kids that weren't hurting anyone, weren't damaging any property, weren't really causing trouble...public disturbance maybe, but no reason for a serious physical confrontation. I don't like the yuppies that moved into my neighborhood, but i'm not gonna call the cops because their Jimmy Buffett is too loud and they stink of Arbor Mist. And I especially won't laugh if a beatdown ensues. Have a heart, people!

These YUPPIES have come to Brooklyn thinkin they were born and raised here go back to Idaho and buckwheat land u dont belong here.. I HOPE YOU LOOSE ALL YOUR TRUST FUNDS!!!!!

Wow....more city resources spent on keeping these moronic Hipsters in control. I dont know if im more pissed at the idiot who allocated state funds for this type of law enforcement or the retarded hipsters who have nothing better to do than rove around our city dressed in costumes. get a life people!!!
