Authorities in the nation's capital are searching for a vandal after the Lincoln Memorial was spray painted with explicit graffiti early Tuesday.
The National Park Service said it was working to remove the graffiti after it was discovered at about 4:30 a.m., FOX 5 DC reported.Actually my take on Mr. Lincoln is that he pretty much lived the advice from the graffiti, but this is getting out of hand.
The graffiti, which was done in red spray paint on a column, appears to say “F*** law."

FINALLY. A nice word out of you for Ol' Honest Abe. I'll take it. Baby steps.
ReplyDeleteIt was only a matter of time. The Washington Monument, or obelisk, has been defaced on a regular basis - at least, as far as the arm can reach.
ReplyDeleteI consider it a real tragedy and shame for national monuments to be defaced like this. Equally tragic and shameful is the graffiti that can be found out in the wilderness of our national and state parks. Invariably, some clown needs to leave his spray painted mark on a boulder to remind everyone that he was there.
Some of the weakest, most vulnerable* people in our society, advocating for the elimination of laws.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense.
*triggering, trigger warnings, anxiety issues, hyper-sensitivity...
Yeah, exactly the sort that would do fine without law and order.
If a statue makes you feel "unsafe" the proper response is therapy.
