    Hopefully we can someday turn it into musket balls to use against the Turdpublicans.

      Someone should make a statue of his final moment, to be installed as a fountain.

      As in life, so in death. The human collective unconseous knows this guy was a clown. Even the right knows it in their heart of hearts.

    Why did they make his face so large? Not very faithful to the deceased.

    They should have him hold hands with a 3 foot tall mouse like the Walt Disney and Mickey statue.

    Except the 3 foot tall mouse is Ben Shapiro.

      They installed a new sign in 2019. It’s half an inch of AR500 steel, twice as thick as a Level III body armor plate. On top of that, it’s covered in ¾ inch thick bullet resistant acrylic. There are hidden security cameras around it and within a few months of the new sign being installed, the cameras recorded footage of a white supremacist rally being held in front of it.

    And when they inevitably put cameras around it such that one can’t spend that much time vandalizing it, I’d like to remind one and all that paintball guns with red paintballs, balaclavas, and electric bicycles exist. For no reason at all, of course.

      Newer cameras may ping ebikes looking for device IDs. Some rides may be better done acoustic, at least until antenna-less ebike systems are offered (or modded).

          I don’t have an ebike, but if yours has Bluetooth or WiFi, that’s trackable.

            Ew, why would you even want that? That’s terrible. No, my e-bike doesn’t have any of that stuff.

              lets you use your phone as a speedometer and integrates with those exercise apps that snitch on secret military bases i guess.

                Big oof. Guess I know what to look out for next time I buy a bike. They’re so expensive again.

                I basically don’t use my e-bike anymore because it’s a cargo bike and I live somewhat far from the store and go everywhere with my wife, so we take our EV car and that can actually carry enough groceries for both of us and our cat.

                Also the e-bike has a cadence sensor and a throttle, so I end up not really getting a workout while at the same time the bike is just not very well optimized for what I want out of a bike when it’s not the only option for getting groceries.

    I hope it gets stolen expropriated, or at least vandalized enough times that they have to take it down.

    They’re just expressing the well-founded, and certainly widely-shared concern that this beautiful monument received such limited funding that they couldn’t have built it into the majestic fountain that the public needed for closure and remembrance.

    : (

    Edit: that statue has some really weird vibes. Did he do a hand-on-my-thrusted-hip wave often? Why doesn’t his beanie have a propeller on it? Why are his facial features appropriately proportioned for his head?

          TPUSA did a protest where they wore diapers and dressed up like babies to show how liberals are all babies. Or something. Nobody really knows because it was probably college Republican fetish shit.
