Disgusting. Is that a Federal monument or local? Someone should clean it up and try to prevent it from happening. Maybe surveillance cameras are a possible solution.

It is a local, state and federal monument located directly across the street from where JFK got shot. The monument is structured in such a way that to have visible camera would ruin the effect it suppose to invoke but now there are some cameras but Dallas wants to minimize the visibility of them so it doesn't distract from the art
Yes, there seems to be some disagreement over whether the statue is appropriate.
Some yahoos with nothing better to do with themselves out getting drunk on a Saturday night. That's their idea of "fun."

Sometimes I wish we could bring back the publick stocks
I know what you mean, but even those morons have rights. Much as I sometimes am loathe to recognize that.

The publick stocks would be a mercy because with them you were humiliated for a short period of time, now with the internet, this **** will follow them around forever

From what I read they were not breaking any laws. On the flip side if that memorial wouldn't have been erected, they couldn't have done that.
Funny how people want to tear down statues and memorials from the civil war because they claim they represent slavery and hatred but yet also want to erect others that show the same thing.
The idea that people learn what it is to be in someone else's shoes comes to mind. But how to do that? I have no easy answer.
I am with you in sentiment if not in fact.

If they really cared, they wouldn't be there. It will also soon be forgotten because with everyone being offended by everything, that will be short lived as people move on to other things.
The world is ending once again. I agree with you especially in the assertion that I'm a paragon of virtue.
Yes and pelting with rotten fruit.

Cept we didn't have social media in the old days. Just an old black and white TV with rabbit ears and a Japanese transistor radio.

Their rights would be preserved. The stocks would be the punishment.
"Loath" is the adjective.
That nagged at me.
I feel better now.
Was it good for you too?

Tearing down civil war memorials is asinine. A people that think to erase their history have no respect for the sacrifices that carved it out.
If it wasn't for the civil war the morons that scream racism would still be slaves. The only reason civil war memorials are taken down is because city councils and others don't have the guts to defend what commemorates a people who defended liberty with their lives. Such people are cowards and a shame that writes that history for their namesake for all time.

Some statues and such were not memorials but about babble like the "Lost Cause" whitewashing the war and secession
I see. I used the wrong word. I did not catch that. Thanks.
Not if any random citizen decided to enact a punishment without benefit of due process and the rule of law. It does happen. Sometimes the result is even just. But it is not something we are just allowed to do according to the law. Besides, that would probably fall under cruel and unusual punishment. Though I have never understood what was wrong with unusual punishment.
Well, I think it's the idea that the punishment should fit the crime and be enforced consistently.
Like, say you have five people charged with jaywalking. Four of them are given fines, while one is sentenced to be doused in honey and hung up over an anthill. That would be a violation of the principle in question.
