Ridgewood 'music venue' ransacked and robbed

I was alerted to this posting on Facebook:

This weekend has been incredibly heartbreaking for all of us at The Silent Barn. On top of many issues that we’re currently dealing with, over the weekend our house was completely ransacked. About $15k worth of audio equipment, house projects and personal belongings are gone. The violence to the space is almost as upsetting as the theft. Doors were ripped off of hinges, furniture ripped to shreds, and everything in the space strewn about in a sea of debris. We’ve lost 7 years worth of accumulated equipment, tools, and artwork donated and built by individuals from every end of the scene’s spectrum, and we’re still reeling with what this means for our own lives and the future of the space. If you would like to find out what you can do, email silentbarn@gmail.com. We need your help to continue.

Well, were you supposed to be here? There's a full vacate on this property... which has been illegally converted into 4 SROs... (Note the photos of hipster in bathrobe making breakfast.)

And here's some work without a permit:

Haha! I like your sense of humor on this one Crapper. If this is what goes on in Ridgewood, I say give it to Brooklyn! We'll take Cypress Hills in return! Love it!

These hipsters are asking for donations. When real estate prices skyrocket because of these idiots, who takes donations for the working class people getting pushed out of the neighborhood?

That's what happens when you spend your weekends in the Hamptons.

It damn sure is. nothing but 99c stores and taco stands now, but apparently, all the Slovaks love that crap. Coming from eastern Europe, im sure they think they hit gold.


Sadly, glendale is starting to fall as well. Place was better when it was full of germans and italians who took care of their property. Now its albanian and polish wiggers.

Shit travels east, apparently.

The guy with the gas powered chain saw is poisoning the indoor air with carbon monoxide and gasoline fumes.
It is also a fire hazard.

Like Yah! $15,000 worth of hipster shit. $4 value to everyone else. Thats why they trashed the place. You only think your art is worth $15,000. Who valued it? Your insurance company? No way. YOu don't have insurance so you made this value. Go the fuck home hipster scum
