ATS site motto, remember? Ignorance abounds nowadays,
Detention center
About one year after the NYCTA vacated the pier, Pier 57 was temporarily utilized as a detention center during the 2004 Republican National Convention, when approximately 1,200 anti-RNC protesters were arrested and sent to a makeshift detention/processing center at Pier 57. Over 1,800 were arrested during the entire event. Medical activists reportedly treated many people held at Pier 57 for chemical burns, rashes, and infections that resulted from direct, prolonged exposure to the motor oil, asbestos, and other contaminants from its days as a bus garage.

ProudBird is the one that originally said jones was misrepresenting the date.

You once again changed the location from the first set of gps coords you gave, which was the car rental lot.
The "new" argument you are making about the lonf conrete wall with barbwire...
The coordinates for the limo/bus parking lot are 33.951228,-118.398006

I PUT IN those co-ordinates.
It took me EXACTLY to the area I discussed previously, in THIS POST
The area, as I mentioned, and you have confirmed with the Google Map Lat/Long co-ordinates, is in clear view from any number of areas in the vicinity, as pointed out in MY post.

of nearly 1,500 people chargedwith the most minor of offenses.

The first set of coordinates I gave was the limo/bus lot, and SO WAS THE SECOND. I just clicked in a different place in the lot when I copied those ones. Jesus christ...

It isn't a "new argument." You posted a picture and acted like it showed the outline of the fence mentioned in the video, and I proved that it wasn't that at all. The video in my OP shows/describes a fence with a cement base and barbed wire. That's the fence this thread is about and that's the fence I highlighted in the image I posted.

My OP also included the date of the pier 57 facility and somehow that turned into "alex was hiding the real date the facility was used"

The red line, the projected expansion zone that you posted, only touches the fence line in two small spots.

See that word there, illegal?
4. THE NYPD MUST STOP FINGERPRINTING POLITICAL PROTESTERS CHARGED WITH MINOR OFFENSES
Despite being barred by state law, the NYPD fingerprinted every person arrested during the Convention,
including the nearly 1,500 people arrested for minor offenses like parading without a permit and disorderly conduct. This raised serious concerns that the NYPD was using minor arrests to build a fingerprint database of political activists.
While the NYPD, when challenged by the NYCLU, reported that it had destroyed all the fingerprints it took during
the Convention, the Department must institute procedures and training to assure that it strictly adheres to
state law, which prohibits the taking of fingerprints from those charged with minor offenses except in unusual circumstances particular to the person under arrest.
