At Freddy's the "chains of justice" are installed
Atlantic Yards Report
Today was the installation of the "chains of justice" at Freddy's Bar & Backroom, so regulars can, in protest, chain themselves to the bar if condemnation proceeds.
I couldn't make it but photographer Tracy Collins shot a set of photos, including the response of the fire department to a fire down the block at one of the few remaining occupied buildings.

On Sunday, supporters bolted a chain to the establishment's bar, and some patrons hundcuffed themselves to it for about an hour while sipping on pints of beer. They say they'll do it again when authorities try to seize the property.
