Sounds like you were singled out by someone who supports Russia and sounds more like a hate crime to me more than anything. Sorry about that
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
As someone who attends music events in New York frequently, the primary concern the security guards care about is that you're not bringing a gun into the venue. Secondary concern being hard drugs, depending on the venue and act. Msg definitely does not want drugs. Thinking that the underpaid and overworked security staff has a political agenda is absurd when they already have to deal with your bridge and tunnel antics.
Although MSG is owned by that guy who used facial recognition cameras to ban one of the lawyers suing him from attending an event there. Very funny little dystopian anecdote.
Forgot about that little nugget
Security staff are a subtype of cop. A lesser cop. But they have the brain worms
Of course they do. But I promise you that unarmed security at a mass gathering event like this will not give a shit about 90% of the things going on otherwise they’ll bring K9s to sniff out your drugs. There’s simply too much going on to single people like this. At worst they’ll sexually assault you under the guise of full body check.
Unless you’re at the Super Bowl in which case the cops will have a sniper trained at your forehead at all times.
Undoubtedly. Still profiling and protecting capital using force. I was only trying to add some context to the situation and point out the absurdity that these people would have a political agenda in the form of being a Russian troll or that constitutes a hate crime. These redditors need to touch grass and speak to someone offline.
Oh yeah you're absolutely right that the average cop (Of any variety) isn't going to give a shit about your Ukraine flag. And of the many hate crimes that security guys and cops do on a daily basis, this wouldn't rank even if they had been targeted for their flag.
Many of them do have serious brainworms, but so do plenty of other workers. Security is not cops lol, that's a serious insult we should not just throw around at anybody. Cops have real power over people and every single one of them has agreed to use that power, violently, to oppress workers. 90% of security does literally nothing and most of the other 10% still say "if the boss tells me to do violence against someone i will say no because I don't get paid enough for that"
That's a very white comment. Security of various stripes exist on a spectrum of course, but denying their propensity to play pseudo cop and to engage in enforcement of racist and class based oppression is ignorant.
They literally asked if it would be the same for an American flag and the person said yes.
Apparently they're committing a hate crime against literally everybody.
Or they're cool
"It wouldn't be the same if it were an American flag!"
"Yes it would"
Putler hates America so it makes sense why his agent would prohibit the flag
Putin's KGB runs security at MSG. Putin personally called MSG security himself and demanded the couple not be let in after seeing them on the live security footage with a Ukrainian flag.
Putler is so petty.
Holy shit this person sounds unbearable. Would hate to be security dealing with her.

This the Alt-J Show at MSG we clown in this mothafucker
Take your comfort blanket ass back to Peanuts
Lmao spoken like a person who has never be been forced to do anything. Reeks of privilege
comfort blanket

The virgin flag wearer vs the Chad flag smuggler
Just wrap the flag around the flares, it's not that hard
Policy must have changed since 1939
Most places don't allow flags. Partially because they block other people's view when you wave them, and when that view costs hundreds of dollars it tends to lead to confrontation
Ok, driving to MSG "all the way from NJ" is stupid as hell because 1. It's not far at all, "I walked all the way across the street" cool, bro. And 2. NJ is littered with trains, they are very easy to connect to nyc, where you'll be dropped off at Penn Station aka RIGHT BENEATH MSG, WHY DID YOU DRIVE DUMBFUCK, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, PAIN TO PARK, AND TIME CONSUMING
As a resident of NJ, I LOATHE anyone from this state who chooses to drive into Manhattan. They're the reason NYC has to institute the much needed congestion pricing and they still have the gall to complain that it's a violation of their rights.
Hypocrisy??? Where is the hypocrisy? Like let's just take a step into the alternate universe where Ukraine really is the poor smol bean oppressed country being bullied by big mean russia for no reason. They still said any flag would get people treated the same way including the flag of the country they're currently standing in. I mean I guess you can say that's a lie and that if it had been an american flag they'd have been ignored, but until somebody tests that there's no hypocrisy in this story lmao
I couldn’t bring a backpack into a Nebraska Cornhuskers Football game in 2014 because they told me terrorist could be targeting football games.
I couldn't bring my purse in. They charged me money to store it. They just do it to keep people from smuggling food in
Alt J fuckin sucks that was a waste of money before anything in the story even happened
Their first album was good actually
yeah i liked it a ton a ton (their songs are sorta formulaic?)
i'm not down with this revisionist interpretation of alt-j
Ok Alt-J trot
and everything after that was just disappointment
"oh a new alt-j album??" excitement turned to ash every time
all timer
pasta potential
When I saw alt-j in concert shortly after the invasion began, they put up a big Ukraine flag and paused in the middle of their lead single to shout "Fuck Putin"
Virgin alt-j vs. Chad Wolf Parade (wolf parade’s singer has been on Chapo and is Ukrainian diaspora in Canada who fucking hates banderites and spends all his time exposing Banderite-Canadian government collusion)
ah what; to be expected i suppose
I love that the boyfriend was gearing up to go into debate mode on them. Karen and Kevin just being your standard libs.
On the one hand not allowing any flags or anything "political" is a totally absurd rule, on the other hand this person seems somewhat insufferable
These dorks deserve to be bullied relentlessly
Damn I was so prepared to hear about some mayo-ass cracker eating MSG and having their Assistant Language Teacher - Japan experience ruined :(
