Ruining statues is an American tradition, we watched statues destroyed in 2020, it is no big deal.

statue of a slave owning Roman of antiquity?

If so, the libs should be pleased.

Typical Trumper, probably emboldened by the 2021 insurrection attempt.

Abe Lincoln, they all loved him.

It's just as likely that the statues were Greek.

Not sure what someone's political affiliation has to do with this...

A list of the statues across the US toppled, vandalized or officially removed amid protests

Removed isn't destroyed.

I'm pretty much the least religious guy in any room I walk into, but I have to admit that the Vatican is an awe-inspiring place, and the Vatican Museums are arguably the finest in the world.

I've stood in that very corridor, and I remember being quite surprised at how accessible the artwork was to visitors...

Those statues supported slavery and the patriarchy, so maybe they have to go. I learned this from the progressive Left. Still, bad form on his part

Nothing really.

But the OP is sporting the Blue and Yellow flag, which is the international symbol for mental retardation. Can’t be too hard on the guy.

I bit of over reaction. Its not like they asked him to wear a mask.

Hardly a "childish temper tantrum" but more like a psychotic episode. Some factions in the U.S. have been taught in the last couple of years that the destruction of tradition and statues is a legitimate outlet for alleged social ills.
