Brooklyn Musician Arrested After Chaining Himself To A Giant Fiberglass Bee in a Desperate Attempt to Save Coney Island

Brooklyn Singer/Songwriter, Robert German was arrested late last Friday evening after a standoff with local authorities. German, a 28 year old resident of Brooklyn dressed up in a hotdog costume and tied himself to a large fiberglass bee, that was part of a complex of rides being demolished by Thor Development.

This is German's second arrest, having been part of the mass protest last month at the location of the now demolished cyclone rollercoaster and current location of the sunny shore high rise luxury condo development.

German was held for questioning and determined to be an enemy combatant. He will be shipped to Guantanamo Bay Cuba later this week, where he will be tortured outside of the public eye until he confesses to every terrorist act ever commited. He will then face secret military trials and execution as set forth by the patriot act and regulated by our fearless commander, the honorable George W. Bush.

Don't let this happen.

Save Coney Island!

Without shameless begging, independent musicians would surely starve.
