How do you feel about someone vandalizing a statue of Nathan Forrest with a "Black Lives Matter" tag?

Had to have a quick Google as to who this is. Vandalism is vandalism no matter what the person stood for though.

For the record i also think Banksy is a twat, so...

 

[Geist-]

Do you have anything you want vandalized and graffiti'd? Let's be civil about this.

It's one of the best forms of non-violent protestation. It sends a message to everyone who sees it, and it doesn't hurt anyone. Sure it's annoying sometimes, but that's all it is.

Why does this cunt have a star in the first place?

Pretty sure all you need to do is have a lot of money.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Why does this cunt have a star in the first place?

Probably his sucky TV show.

Is your neighbor a white supremacist empowering millions of other white supremacists?

If so, I wouldn't say anything if I saw you spraypainting that dick on the door.

Perfectly put.

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Looks like Christie got some clean up duty coming

 

[rjinaz]

Agreed.


Who ever put that hollywood square of Donald Trump there should be fined for vandalism.

hehehe

-This was wonderfully done. Clever even.

 

[SeanC]

Trump probably funded that star himself. They cost about 30k. Pocket change to him probably.

Vandalize it more.

See, this is funny. Dog decides to do a shit there, take a picture and have a laugh, and then clean the dog shit up after yourself.

Vandalism is vandalism no matter what the person stood for though.

This is such a weird thing to be absolutist about.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Damn, SO slick.

only thing i dont understand is how does a stencil have floating elements. maybe they are held by string. or it would have to be two separate stencils.

Hmm. Maybe it's string and it's super thin, like fishing line so the paint just bleeds around it? I think that would work, especially if that string is separated from the ground by the thickness of the cardboard.

Millions of white supremacists? The best known group, the KKK, probably has a membership under 4,000 right now.

 

[Angry Grimace]

...is that a pizza box? Perfect.

 

[Stereogatari]

I was watching Jon Oliver's video about Trump's Wall.

I didn't realise the Wall is an ongoing theme. I thought he only mentioned it once and people laughed and moved on.

America is a truly frightening country.

 

[Savitar]

I'm alright with this.

 

[zewone]

Pizza box stencil is genius way to cover up what you're doing.

Wish I would have thought of that back in the day.

 

[FStop7]

This is such a weird thing to be absolutist about.

Don't tell him about the Berlin Wall.

 

[Yekshemesh]

This is such a weird thing to be absolutist about.

Yup, the Berlin wall was full of graffiti. Wonder what his stance on that is.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Millions of white supremacists? The best known group, the KKK, probably has a membership under 4,000 right now.

Uh, its more than that. Trump has white supremacists making robocalls to other like minded racists to vote for him. Without him knowing of course, but this is who he is bringing out with his word vomit.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Damn, that's pretty savage. Thumbs up!

 

[Carl]

Don't tell him about the Berlin Wall.

Yup, the Berlin wall was full of graffiti. Wonder what his stance on that is.

Maybe we could accept a stance on "vandalism is bad" without taking it to stupid extremes

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Damn, nice pizza box camo but the mask and spray paint sound probably gave it away.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Pretty sure the guy responsible for the tag is why we have the video.

He's wearing a Trump mask, the camera was following him to the spot, and then he walks directly into a perfectly framed camera setup to do the deed.

Not only that, the end of the video(after the crowd reaction) has him center frame wearing the Trump mask and screaming or whatever while pointing at the camera.

 

[Slayven]

The people in charge of the stars should just remove his and be done with it.

Funny thing you have to pay for the star and pay maintenance on it.

 

[Salty Rice]

Hope he gets caught. The dislike for Trump still gives him no right to do this.

 

[Agnostic]

Bedtime for Democracy

What stupid extreme, the Berlin Wall WAS vandalized to hell and back.

Political Vandalism like this is a-ok.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Some vandalism is bad.
Some vandalism is fucking great.

This is an acceptable stance.

 

[AlephAlpha]

Hmm. Maybe it's string and it's super thin, like fishing line so the paint just bleeds around it? I think that would work, especially if that string is separated from the ground by the thickness of the cardboard.

I'd probably use a wire bent in an arc that bridges the cardboard pieces above the painting plane.

 

[Cromwell]

Either you're too young to understand how important "vandalism" has been throughout history or you just don't care.

Some vandalism is bad.
Some vandalism is fucking great.

This is an acceptable stance.

It's basically an objective truth. It's an important way that people have made their voices heard against oppressive governments for hundreds of years.

You know, it was against the law for black people to sit in the front of the bus before...

 

[jett]

That is hilariously slick.

 

[TAJ]

Largest and best known are far from the same thing sometimes, this being one of those times.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Lmao how excited that one girl gets in the video, "This is going to be an article on Facebook!!!"

 

[Carl]

What stupid extreme, the Berlin Wall WAS vandalized to hell and back.

Political Vandalism like this is a-ok.

if Trump himself had to clean it up, it would be mildly amusing and i would hope someone would get a picture of it. Nonetheless i'd still hope the vandal would get some sort of fine.

As long as some poor random guy who isn't Trump has to clean it up, i think it still makes you a dick to do this, no matter how much of a dick Trump is.

 

[MMarston]

I thought that was the Watch Dogs 2 icon for a second. That's so much better, though.

It's not iconic enough

 

[rjinaz]

I can accept that vandalism is wrong for the most part. But, I'm not the cop that has to look into this. And I hate Trump. So forgive me for not caring this happened.

 

[mollipen]

No matter how much you dislike him, vandalism is still not a good thing.

You're getting a lot of crap for this comment, but I agree. Be better than the person you dislike.

 

[Carl]

Are we seriously making that link, because i'm out if so.

Uhhhh....

 

[Evil's Bane]

I would have taken a shit on it myself

 

[TAJ]

Putting some paint on a sidewalk doesn't make you as bad as Trump. You have to work at that, hard, for decades.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Dont worry about that random guy, who will get paid to clean that up, and they'll probably charge an exuberant price to get it clean.

The only loser here is Trumps ego. This isnt an intrusive political act that stops people from doing their day to day. Its harmless political vandalism. Except to Trump.

 

[Cromwell]

You're getting a lot of crap for this comment, but I agree. Be better than the person you dislike.

What in the fuck? A graffiti artist is worse than Trump?

The opinions in this thread...

Are we seriously making that link, because i'm out if so.

You made an absolutist claim that all graffiti is bad no matter what. That even the Berlin Wall graffiti is bad. There's no logic behind that stance other than you're opposed to anything that breaks the law, full stop.

Making that link isn't difficult.

Inciting racial hatred is what Trump stands for but vandalising his name on a plaque is somehow crossing a line.

 

[gutter_trash]

as much as a douche Trump is, vandalism is wrong in all cases.

many world monuments and old timey time walls are filled with tags

It's funny yeah, I LOLed, but vandalism is bad no matter what

Actually, we're discussing the morality of vandalizing stupid extremes.

 

[CrocMother]

No matter how much you dislike him, vandalism is still not a good thing.

People pay budget-stricken public services to put way more vile vandalism up in my city and call it advertising.

This has more meaning and less consequence than "You're breasts are too small! pay $3000 for bigger ones!"
