    If you're afraid of someone spray painting a statue across the country from where you live, imagine the fear I live in when this was done to my fence!

    Lowest of the low, hope they find the thugs, lock them up and throw away the key.

    I will now proceed to yell at clouds as they float by.
    Probably white supremacists, hence the white spray-paint. They likely did this to you and the Cornell statue so people assume it’s BLM. Devious.

    Yes. That is an AMT approved conspiracy theory.

    Am I in bizarro world? Did I say something about fear when I mentioned the statue?

    i’m disgusted by it, much as I am with similar shit done that affects others. 

    It seems like you’re playing some game, though. Have fun?

    If your comments weren’t satire, then most would accuse you of being racist for calling them thugs. 
    But we all know they were. Making fun of those upset about a statue on the other side of the country, saying you hope they lock up those thugs, then say you’re going to watch clouds. It was all in the spirit of poking fun at those angered at the violence and disruption.
    At least that’s how it came across to me.
    Spray painting a statue (or fence) isn't a violent act.

    Equating acts of vandalism to acts of violence minimizes real victims of violence. As a victim of real violence, I could find it offensive. I don't, I just find it lazy and stupid.

    You guys need to gain a little perspective or this thread is in danger of becoming a parody.

    Can you decipher it? Maybe it's a death threat? Should I start carrying a gun while mowing my lawn?

    Well as a victim of violence, I would think you’d condemn the assault of the poor guy in Portland. But you haven’t said anything about that. Instead you make a snarky reply about the post about the Cornell statue. And yes, that’s not violent to paint on a statue. It’s maybe even a stretch to file it under “general madness” from the thread title. But it’s still scumbags being scumbags. The same type of people that vandalize are often the type of people that loot, assault, etc. Plus many of us are Chris Cornell fans. So why shouldn’t we complain about his statue being defaced? If I was a fan of you or your fence, I’d complain about that too.

    Go ahead and complain, it just has an old man yells at clouds vibe to it. Nobody got hurt, the statue will even be fine, just needs a good pressure washing. Should be nothing for anyone to get upset about, same as my fence. You call it snark, I call it humour.

    Also, I don't think spraying graffiti on public things makes someone a scumbag. It's pretty harmless. We were all young once and did stupid shit. Unless of course it's using language or symbols of hate, that's in a different category.

    Matter of opinion I guess, but if it's a public place, that makes it mine as well as yours and what right do you (the general "you", not the specific you) have to deface it?  People with no respect for themselves or others are the kind of people who do that kind of thing.  Sounds pretty scummy to me.

    It’s not harmless. You might enjoy taking time out your day to buy paint or graffiti remover but most don’t. It makes property look shitty. There’s a reason it’s illegal.

    I guess we all have different definitions of scumbags. You guys use it more liberally than me.

    Anyways, time for me to bow out of the get off my lawn conversation. Been a slice.

    Nothing I said was meant to be taken personally, dignin, it's just an opinion.  And you know what they say about opinions!  :wink:

    I remember the outrage over t he people painting over the BLM murals and saying how they need to be locked up. So you were okay with that and didn’t have a problem with it?

    I personally think all people who deface public or private property are pretty low people.

    Ah yes, we’re all different. Such a concept 🙄

    I hope next time you’re a bit less snide and condescending when trying to make your point. If not, I’ll live :lol:
