I noticed how carefully they applied the harmless black liquid to the priceless painting. They really should not be punished. Hell, the paintings probably hadn't been cleaned in years and needed a good scrubbing anyway. Those people had good intentions.

Even nasty chemicals aren't as strong as they used to be, as long as whatever is thrown on it is immediately cleaned off most likely no damage will be done. I suppose in your warped mind as long as they aren't throwing full strength muriatic acid on a priceless work of art, no harm no foul and they should get off with a slap on the wrist.


On the flip side if someone threw water based paint on a statue of Saint George Floyd, you would want the book thrown at them.



You are about as stupid as those environmental activists and determine your opinion of destruction and violence based on the cause for which it is perpetrated. Typical moronic Democrat, I condone all of it. Jan 6th and a BLM riot same thing as far as I am concerned, but most of the BLM riots were more destructive and violent.

I think throwing anything at a work of art is stupid and should be punished to the full extent of the law. Not only that, it’s counterproductive. People focus on the painting, not the reason for the protest. Coal and oil company executives could care less about some painting.

I didn’t know George Floyd has been canonized and I certainly didn’t know there was a statue.

I was joking about Saint part but there are plenty of memorials including a 700 pound bronze statue. He also got a funeral send off and a casket worthy of a head of state. His death caused more riots and destruction than the assassination of Martin Luther King, all this for a piece of human gutter trash.
The progression of liberalism sure is something to be proud of, NOT!
George was passed out behind the wheel, ready to drive before he met his demise. George could have easily been the killer that day and not the one killed.
