Outraged community members have reached out to me before and again last night including to point out the racist predatory photo of Bob Arihood's topless image of Marlene. Lincoln Anderson sent me a flurry of emails harassing me after I continually demanded he leave me alone and he made it clear he supported the topless photo I felt was preying on a drunk poor woman of poverty level who has no home or a door to close. They are two white fat guys who have homes to go to when drunk so thankfully we will never seem them topless. Marlene is African American, 56 years old and in jail now, the poor people's rehab and how many are African America in jail? I had told Lincoln Anderson to leave me alone. To have no contact with me. To not even say hello to me if he saw me on the street and he like Bob likes to have this fantasy that I am enraptured of him. The reality is so many emails that I was able to hand them in to the NYPD and file an aggravated harassment complaint. Note: Their gang has continued to harass me on the computer and the connection to this is easily pointed out.
Community members are not fans of Anderson's willfully obtuse reporting or idiocy; often a bone of contention for many just like Airhood's and in this case the email I received expressed concern he could land Ray in big trouble. I am told Arihood brings up the violation and why would he do so harming Ray that way? It is not the first time and it is nothing knew. This is sheer stupidity perhaps? At his worst as I know first hand, the motive is "hate" which takes on many names. Talk about losing one's way.
Anyway Airhood was my big admirer, fan and gave me 2 large photos, one of the hawk and when he gave me the large blown up photo of the hawk, I said thank you and let me take you to dinner. He asked me over dinner to have his baby. I said no. He told me how much I presume and I pointed out his fantasy presumed quite a lot, me talking care of two babies, a little one and big old fat one. Airhood likes to tell people I am obsessed with him but I have no photos of him and I have no interest in his destructive behavior to himself and to others. I do have an interest when community members reach out to me because they are upset.
We never dated but he did tell me about the lawsuit. My understanding is he lives off of suing the NYPD and warning to the 9th Precinct he may need to sue you again pretty soon so you better behave yourselves.
Ironic that if Clayton Patterson had not filmed Bob during the Tompkins Riot there would be no case. Where would Bob be? Not here, that is for sure.
Did Bob Arihood do a lot of good documenting Ben Shaoul's misdeeds? Yes? Has he done good work in the past. Yes. Has he done very sick and cruel things that don't rival Mike Red Square Rosen living atop of luxury building that was a welfare building that owes the community a community facility and is THE SYMBOL of gentrification. Mike Red Square's rich man toy is a Lenin sculpture that roosts atop The Red Square and it is clear it is a toy of a rich man that won't even honor a community facility owed to the community all these years despite Mike a mini-Mike Bloomberg wannabe demanding we call him a community activist. In the Bloomberg bio by Purnick he is lauded as community organizer but if only people could see the photos of Arihood's of people protesting outside the Christa Dora and yelling at Mike Red Square Rosen.
Funny Lincoln Anderson's reporter cuts me out of an article where I demand community facilities in every mega dorm because they use the term "community facility" to supersize yet exclude the community but my demand and I are erased from the protest to save Whole Earth Bakery but who has a photo on his blog Bob Arihood.
I speak out against too many deaths of construction workers at a City Council Task force meeting which Christine Quinn is too busy to attend and more construction workers and civilians were to die and yet more meeting on how to stop the reckless death toll were to come but I was at the forefront with other New Yorkers demanding "SAFETY FIRST".
The Villager's sister paper removes the link to the photos and reporting of this meeting and I believe it is because they endorsed Christine Quinn who did not show up to the meeting on DOB and perhaps she did not because there was an over whelming presence of protestors fighting Trump and Bloomberg and Quinn backed Trumps reckless zone busting mega build at Spring and Varrick where a construction worker died as well. I had Norman Siegel by my side as I captured footage of The Villager and NYU turning away a senior citizen in a wheel chair, long term activist-- repeatedly denying him access and causing him great upset. Here he is in the YouTube link below and so many of you recognize him. Do to an Olympic effort by a group of us we did FINALLY gain him access. Anderson and gang find a platform thanks to Bob to attempt to retaliate but again they just come off looking like hate mongers. Here is one of a series that showed The Villager in league with NYU to aide Christine Quinn and her supporters while turning away NY1 and so many valued members of the community who happen to not be Quinn fans.

I can only guess that Arihood is aging as badly as Marlene except he has the luxury of a home while many of his subjects he once appeared to show compassion for do not. He has lost his compassion and he may be gaining legal woes including a law suit but not to worry -- he is not alone.
There are clearly declines of all kinds and it is not just developers destroying the East Village and many blame Mike Red Square Rosen with his building that looks like a protype for the mega dorms that would cause mass displacement and high rents but it is not having a newspaper reporting the news but beholden to developers including the No. 1, NYU. Maybe it doesn't matter because most people don't read the rag and more and more people will be leaving. NYU and Mike Red Square Rosen will get their dreams to run the community they preside over mainly college students and people on their pay roll or in their debt.
Unless Bob can sue the NYPD again I don't know how long he can remain here but I truly don't care except I am tired of outraged community members reaching out to me about his destructive ways. I am convinced he is dedicated to hate, *racism, anti-semitism and misogyny and the high flurry of emails I received from Anderson go on about Arihood so they seem bound at the hip which is again funny because Arihood quit the paper because of Anderson but hatefully behavior has always been uniting.
The photo of Marlene topless was racist and misogynist but I consider anti-semitism racism as well. Welcome to the East Village. Bob's blog is dedicated to Jim Mosaic Man Power but I was the only updating him on Jim's travails and the villager The NYPD have a very interesting email that came in response to me contacting Lincoln Anderson and news@thevillager.com when Jim feel and called me for help. I sent them a photo and updated them because they too follow Jim although they have not opened their doors to him or fed him and Jesse Jane as so many have. The email directly ties in to one of Arihood's dear friends and underscores a toxic waste on going harassment of me directly connected to his blog. I don't need any community member to ask me to look at what is going down in a destructive way on Arihood's blog.
I saw some of the photographers' work I have collected including the nicest gentleman in person Baron Wolman when I purchased his Janis photo. He and I had a marvelous chat about Janis and I made him tell me a Janis story. This is by another photographer...drawing a blank. Freezing cold day but a great turn out of enthusiastic people taking in the art.
Frank Zappa, ahhh the appropriate moment to ask him to have my baby! This gentleman beside me is part of the Bloomberg resistance and he held every door for me and helped me carry my packages. He is ten years younger than I am. He was so respectful and intelligent. We had fun. We stopped at the Botanical Gardens next door and I bought plenty of soil and pots to re-pot my plants and also beautiful pussy willow tree that is a little unusual but of course why I love it!
