Riding my bike on Flushing Avenue two way bike lane on a very brisk January afternoon by the Brooklyn Navy Yard there was a very peculiar sight. A large mural on a commercial warehouse building featuring the name of current city council member of the 33rd District Lincoln Restler was featured on it. Thankfully there wasn’t a picture of his mug there, but what made it odd is what else was written on it.
According to the information that seems to be advertised here, the borough of Brooklyn loves Council member Restler (and also safe streets) and also a date to vote on June 22. That date just happens to be the primary he won last year against about over a half dozen other candidates leading to his inevitable victory running virtually unopposed on election day in November. Yet this mural campaign advertisement has remained there during that time between primary and general election and still remains to this day in Mid-January.
Wonder why is that? And the other wondrous thing about this campaign mural ad is that it hasn’t been tagged over with graffiti, even though the Restler campaign deftly painted over a couple tags that are still visible,usually you would get your ass kicked for desecrating another graffiti artists work for that breach of street art protocol. Yet Restler’s campaign mural is still immaculate.

You pay taxes for corrupt politicians. You get corrupt politicians.
Where I grew up in Queens you would get your ass kicked by your parents for desecrating another persons property. Graffiti is a crime called vandalism, not art !
Harken back about five years ago and remember Restler's sister and the sign she held proclaiming, "Fuck Whiteness"?
Seems this family is awash in stupid signs.
But I have a better one. How about "FUCK RESTLER"?
I'm surprised you weren't run over by one of those car zealots who post here regularly.

JQ LLC, don't say you have gone all communist on us? Riding a bicycle? Say it ain't so JQ !
@Anon re: communist
I'm not a communist. What is with the red scaring on this thread every day?
"Red scaring" JQ more like a Marxist horror story right out of the playbook.
Lunkhead Lincoln Restler should legally change his name to Stinkin' Hustler: At least his clueless constituency will get a heads up on their diminishing expectations of a reductive, weasel-f**kwad who can suspend ALL cognitive function——at WILL!
"Clueless constituency" that are so brainwashed by fake news !
I strongly dislike bike lanes and I actively hate communism, but the two aren't synonymous.
