[Updated] Mysterious (for now!) balloons arrive on East 14th Street

EVG reader Aaron sends along these shots this morning... someone (a protester?) put up signs from ballons at the intersections of 14th Street and Third Avenue and 14th Street and Irving Place.



Aaron couldn't make out the signs. Anyone else see them?

See the comments for more info. And @robbyohara notes that DOT workers have removed the balloons and signs....

    It is a protest. The balloons are attached to pictures of NYC youth who have been slain by the NYPD.

    Its is a protest!! They were in remembrance to people killed by the nypd this year. The NYPD needs to be held accountable for their ruthless killing.

    i hope the intent wasn't to release the balloons. it really is bad for the fishies. even national bereavement groups frown on it now.
