“How did this country get to a point where people running banks rob people blind and leave NYC (and rest of the country) in shambles while an artist does a public service and ends up getting his ass handed to him.” (Abztract)
The advertising hacker, Poster Boy from NYC forgot to show up at 6th May to his court date, after being arrested for his interventions that hurt no one except the wallets. He came in the next day to apologize and face up to his actions.
He was sentenced to 11 months at Rikers Island. Hard to believe that they're making an example of him as a person who didn't show up to his court date as much as they are for him getting attention for his artwork and activism.
