Weasel of the Week: Ken Bronstein

Mr. Bronstein is the head of NYC Atheists, which made the news earlier this week when the group decided a street in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn that had already been rechristened to honor 7 firefighters from the borough who'd lost their lives during the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks needs to be changed again.

The street, formerly known as Richards Street, was rechristened Seven in Heaven Way. Therein lies the problem, according to Bronstein, who, according to an article in Wednesday's New York Daily News, likens the rechristening to "spiritual 'product placement'". Balderdash! 7 men lost their lives trying to save others while in the line of duty. 10 years later, these get-a-lifes want to whine & complain because of how the street is named? Get a freakin' clue!

Ironically, another atheist, Josh Roxas, falls on the side of common sense. He was quoted by the Daily News as follows:

"These guys gave their lives for us. They deserved that sign."

Well said, Josh. Religion has nothing to do with the sign renaming at all. Unfortunately, Ken Bronstein and his crew of know-nothing idiots don't see it that way. They're also getting Dunce Caps to show how deep their ignorance runs.
