What should be the penalty for destroying priceless works of art?

[skye]

Jail.

10 years at least.

That is a dumbass viewpoint from a Wisconsinite. Would you consider it your fault when some moron steals your cow from a wide-open field? You put it there instead of locking it up in the barn. GD leftists never hold the bad guy responsible.

If you own something, you are responsible for it. If your cow escapes it's enclosure and wanders to the road and causes a fatal accident you better believe you are responsible. This is no different. I in no way endorse or support the destruction of private property, but the notion of responsibility is always a two way street. Life does not occur in a vacuum.

Are you an idiot? That's rhetorical. The owner didn't hang it on the street you fucking moron. They put it on a wall and invited anyone who wanted to get near to do exactly that. Talk about need to think before you comment.

We live in a civilized society. A museum should be able to display art without fear of destruction. There must be consequences for the person that did this. Yes, some jail time and a fine. How much of each that is for a judge to determine not myself.

Come on. Nobody is that dense. The artist who painted the painting died in 1937. And therefore it is irreplaceable.

Not all art is created equal. Just because a piece of art exists does not mean it has any particular cultural importance in the first place. Here's a piece of art that I created for you.

I won't live forever. One day it will be "irreplaceable". But who cares? It takes more than existing for a piece of art to have cultural value.

Where did I imply there shouldn't be accountability for the destruction of property? I didn't.

I haven't commented on any cultural value though have I. I've answered your questions and you keep moving the goal posts. But hey each to their own. Have a lovely rest of your afternoon and evening.

Go victim pimping elsewhere. Folks like you who don't believe in personal responsibility are a liability to the world. How sad.

 

[progressive hunter]

If it's 'priceless' and you put it where people can destroy it easily, that fault lies with the moron who allowed it.

why are you victim blaming and not holding the person that committed the crime personally responsible??

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

They are destroying or defacing historical works of art that have been part of our landscape for decades and petitioning to get rid of ALL that they don't think deserve a place in American history.

And here you have a Free Palestine vandal destroying a priceless painting.

What should the penalty be for this kind of hateful destruction?

After all that, Palestine still isn't a country.

Wherever did you get the notion I don't think the vandal should be held accountable? Try harder.

cause you just said its the fault of the person that left it out to be vandalized,,

You certainly have. Your exact words were "historical works of art that have been part of our landscape for decades and petitioning to get rid of ALL that they don't think deserve a place in American history." That is, for all intents and purposes, a plea to uphold works of cultural value (despite the fact that the work in this case does not, and never has, occupied a place in in the American "landscape" or history).

And I agree with that. All I have said is that what this asshat did in this instance is not quite the same as the eco whackos who throw tomato soup at paintings in the Lourve.

Their choice. They keep rejecting the two state solution because they don't want one. They want the Israelis dead and for them to have it all.

That dog don't hunt. Museums are responsible for anti-theft measures, how is this really any different? It's about protecting valuables. Since the beginning of time people with valuables have always been responsible for protecting them. It's a two-way street, always has been.

The law will deal with the dirtbag perpetrator, both criminal and civil. Talking about that is just beating a dead horse.

History and culture are two different things. Yes our history is certainly a factor in how our culture evolves, but it is not the same thing. Lord Balfour is a person in both British and Jewish history but while he was a product of his culture, he has little to do with the culture of either now.

 

[candycorn]

I don't know how "priceless" that thing is.

Not defending this action, but it's worth noting that this is not quite on par with the eco whackos who attack actual high end pieces of art in museums. This is a painting of Lord Balfour, so there's relevance to the particular piece and the aim of their "protest."

Not sure what is political about this...

The whole idea of defacing art to get back at people is ridiculous.

After she spends a few years in prison.
