The sign is owned by Cheryl Stewart; a few years ago, she told The Brooklyn Paper, "The Bush Administration is using 9-11 as a pretext to wage war against a country that never attacked us. Three thousand of my neighbors, including local firefighters, have been murdered and the person who’s responsible has not been apprehended... He [bin Laden] is laughing his ass off at us." Stewart, a sculptor, was hopeful that President Obama would find bin Laden.
