Hateful misogynist says the Muslim. I’ll bet $20 she either did it herself or had someone do it.

[bobbo666]

Umm, if Beryl was the cause, does that mean the statue’s destruction was an act of Gawd?

How inconvenient.

[\/\/ayne]

Another fake hate crime hoax.

[TangoLimaSierra]

There are broken branches in the background. Perhaps beheaded by wind or branch?

[IYAS9YAS]

Okay, maybe not Muslim, but I still say she did it herself, or knows who did it.

[Red Badger]

Quite possible, hurricane force winds with huge gusts....................

[cymbeline]

My first interpretation of the headline was that it was a monument to women that had been beheaded.

[Libloather]

...capture the “spirit and grit” of the women fighting to maintain rights over their bodies.

Not worth losing your head over.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Women were beheaded at the University of Houston?!?! Those EVIL BASTARDS! Did I miss something?!?

[VTenigma]

I think it looks better that way.

[wintertime]

The sculpture’s head was found by the university.

My conclusion: The wind blew the head off.

I have friends who are sculptors and have visited their foundry. The break at the neck would be where the head was welded to the body of the sculpture

[wintertime]

Yes. The university has the head. Vandals would have taken the head with them.

[wintertime]

Mine, too! :)

[ChessExpert]

Bizarre sculpture. Take it down please.

Poor construction doesn’t have quite the same message as an ‘assault’

[Antoninus]

1. The statue is ugly and celebrates something ugly.

2. Whether the statue was broken via vandalism, fake hate crime, or an act of God, you can expect the activist set to try to make a cause celebre out of it because that's what they do.

3. In a more sane time, such a monument to evil would not be tolerated by Christian people. The leaders of the college would never have sanctioned it on the property.

[lurk]

Looks a bit like a cheap imitation of art deco era Soviet art.

Why did the artist create a monument to women who were beheaded in the first place? Artist should have known the monument would end up headless!

My gosh, don’t they teach in journalism school? No money for proofreaders today?

It reminds me of a Thalidomide baby of the 1960s.
