victimless crime

They damaged a statue that belongs to a publicly owned local museum...

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 will be commemorated, by the prison system putting more history into them.

Treating things as things -> me, cool, historical

Treating people as things -> you, smuglord "logical"

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?

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works -4 points 10 months ago

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?

[-] Fal@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works -4 points 10 months ago

It’s called nuance.

Not everything is exactly the same in the world.
