They have every right to be angry. That was a slimeball move.

I have been reading about this punk that did it. He was at a Christmas party and decided he wanted a souvenir.

Remember the Gays visiting the Obama White House taking Selfies of themselves flipping off the Presidential Portraits of Reagan and Bush?

Same mindset. The Civil Society is no more.

It’s why you can’t have nice things.

Hmmm, removing a thumb...sounds like he was fresh from some South Philly Guido training session!

I try to explain to my offspring, nephews and nieces what it was like to grow up in a Christian country, but it's impossible for them to imagine when parents and teachers could control bad behavior with a "look." This guy should be billed for the expense of the repair and the travel of the two restoration experts from China to come here and perform it.

"I’m not sure what you’re asking. If ISIS destroyed Chinese antiquities, I’m quite sure they’d be “livid” about that too."

We should all be upset when anyone tries to erase or vandalize our historic relics. These firstly belong to the Chinese, but in a small part they belong to all of us.

” This is pure ugly american behavior. The authorities ought to send the perp’s thumbs to China with an apology.”

Your post is pure antiAmerican.

Really ? Send the perp’s thumbs ?

You are totally good with a totalitarian organ harvesting regime, right? (don’t answer, you’re too stupid).

And you are too stupid to see sarcasm. You are a walking, talking example of ugly American behavior, blind to a crime if you can twist it to your own agenda.
