  1. Essentially the debate is whether its right to just vandalise any item of public property that you find undesirable. The Colston story implied that the answer to that question is yes. So now, if this man gets any sort of penalty this is basically an admission that our legal system operates on an idiological basis.

  2. I don't share Alex's view either, but unfortunately a precedent has been set with the whole Colston statue debacle. Unless we are going to start deciding law by the idiology of the defendant?

  3.  @tigs6639  I don't know why you bring up slavery. The Colston Four were acquitted of criminal damage, which I assume is the same charge this man will face. As for the comparison of outrage, I live in 2022, not 1722 and slavery is not a major concern in my life. However, degenerate ideologies being foisted upon my children certainly is.

  4. Exactly. When I saw the report of their acquittal the first thing I though about was going down to my local high street with some black paint and covering up the LGBTQ++XYZ rainbow crossing that's there, because I find it offensive and surely its my right to do so.
