      They put more history in it. That’s practically a service to the museum, a value add. Ought to be commemorated for it, really.

      They poured what I eat for breakfast every morning on a chunk of stone. I think it’ll be fine.

      Which is owned by the city, they damaged a statue owned by the city.

      Big fucking deal mate. No one was actually hurt.

        So there was no victims ofJanuary 6th either because the capital building is publicly owned too?

          You’re right, defacing a statue is the same as attempting insurrection, doubly so where people were assaulted or died.

          That’s your fucking amazing retort is it?

            My retort is that “it’s publicly owned so it’s fine if anyone destroys it” is a stupid argument no matter who makes it
