More Pride flags have been vandalized right across the street from the Stonewall Inn.
"If their aim is to frighten us and to cow us and to prevent us from coming out and celebrating Pride, they're going to fail, and they're going to fail badly," New York City Councilmember Erik Bottcher said.
Volunteers already replaced dozens of flags that were destroyed near the Stonewall Inn over the weekend. Bottcher says the NYPD is looking through cameras to identify whoever is responsible for Wednesday night's incident.
