Statue Toppled for no Reason

BOSTON -- Vandals toppled a 127-year-old bronze statue of a Civil War soldier, snapping off its head and musket.

Authorities believe the 1,000-pound statue on the Boston Common was pushed over Saturday night. The statue of the Union soldier is part of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the city's most elaborate memorial.

I hope those bitches got what's coming for 'em. I say give them some public ass whooping.

PredeconInferno 05-10-2004 06:58 PM

I agree with KellyC on this one... These vandals need to be taken in public, stripped bare, and shot in the mouth.

bloody fuckers

shame...

the HS that I attended had a Virgin Mary statue, and the rival HS beheaded it and cut off the hands.

Upon graduation our graduating class donated a large sum of money to replace it.

Where is public caning(sp?) when u need it?

Didn't the desecration of Jebediah Springfield teach them anything about civic values? For shame. I hope the people they were trying to impress beat the crap out of them.

The_wall 05-10-2004 10:19 PM

how in the hell would you topple that big fucker?

Polyphobic 05-11-2004 06:17 AM

Maybe with a large truck.

I guess I wasn't the only one who thought of that!

Mindless vandalism pisses me off.

I was right there with you.

Bill O'Rights 05-11-2004 07:43 AM

Why?
I mean fuckin' why?!?

Boredom?

Fine.
If I caught 'em, they'd never be bored again. They would be cleaning every monument in Boston with Brasso and thier own toothbrush. :mad: Boston never would've looked so good.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart beheads the statue of the town hero and everyone wants to kill him.

Thats it :)

Astrocloud 05-11-2004 01:15 PM

I guess I can claim to have seen it before it was toppled. *Sniff* I thought it was inspiring.

PulpMind 05-11-2004 01:29 PM

how do you know this was done "for no Reason" ?

I don't condone what was done, but that doesn't mean the people that did it didn't have what they believed to be a legitimate reason to do it.
Honestly though, it was probably just a bunch of fuck headed, piss drunk jocks / soon-to-be-Army recruits

Bingo.

For punishment, I would hope for nothing short of a public stoning. That's ridiculous...hell, I want to personally be the first one to bust the juvenile-bastards in the jaw with a stone.

Mondak 05-11-2004 07:11 PM

It is tough and I wish it had not happened. It is so mindless in fact that maybe it was not done on purpose. There was a statue that went down a while back in San Diego. Everyone was pissed and they were looking for the perpetrators and it turned out that the internal structure of the statue just failed. It broke on its own. I don't know the details of this thing though. . .

MSD 05-11-2004 09:15 PM

Am I the only one laughing my ass off? Not at the toppling, but at the mental image of what it would've looked like to see a truckload of asshats get squashed by the statue they toppled.

Isn't that a bit extreme?

How about just prosecuting them with willful damage of public property. That's what they're guilty of after all.

moonstrucksoul 05-12-2004 06:02 PM

that's pretty fucked up.

wraithhibn 05-12-2004 06:09 PM

Vandals put paint on a Confederate Statue here in Louisville not too long ago. The University wants to tear it down because its not good for their "racial profile". Things like this go on to show how much people don't care about our history.

crow_daw 05-12-2004 07:08 PM

Well, I think that is pretty fucked up. They all deserve ten lashes at the City Hall.............or, or something. I dunno, but that was just fucking stupid.
