Breaking News: 2 masked protesters have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building to unfurl a banner.

The height is making me quesy as news coverage via helicopters is live.....not to mention lax security in midtown Manhattan!

I'm watching it too. Someone on Channel four here in the NY/NJ area said their sign said a Jimi Hendrix quote - "when the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will know peace".

I prefer my Love and Peace protests on solid ground!

Also, it's very thoughtless and reckless. Specialized NYPD units are now deployed and imagine if one fell, the crowded sidewalks below.

How do you get into the Empire State Building unchecked? Between security and the tour ticket sellers, no one noticed?

Love the message. Brave and almost worth the jail time that's coming.

@newjersey "scuse me while I kiss the sky" seems more appropriate.
