The protest began at about noon, when approximately 25 protesters...gathered at Wilshire Boulevard and Ogden Street, the LAPD said in a news release.
"[T]wo female protesters chained themselves to the light pole of an art exhibit, damaging the exhibit itself. One male protester threw an unknown red liquid substance on the art exhibit and surrounding area.”
The protesters “refused to leave,” and after two dispersal orders were ignored between 3:25 p.m. and 4 p.m., officers arrested the two women and one man for felony vandalism...

This is about the only thing this artist did that I like. It represents a lot of investment and work, and the ‘protesters’ should be made to pay every penny of repairing it.
They remind of apes which hurl their poo at others as an outburst of displeasure (or maybe pleasure?)
Thank God Botticelli’s ‘Primavera’ had glass protecting it:
o Metropolis II which is a Matchbox Car track on steroids in the LACMA (where the Urban Lights are located)
o First to make a true scale model of the solar system where the sun is a beachball in a museum and Pluto is a BB in the City Hall
o An installation featuring a massive battle among dinosaurs, space ships, army men, etc.
o A video called "Big Truck" where he details his humorous experience acquiring a truck to haul around his artworks. The entire video is him sitting on a stool holding a huge wrench.
o Various performance art pieces. One called "You'll Never See My Face in Kansas City" where he sat in a museum in Kansas City wearing a balaclava.
He had a great imagination, didn't take himself seriously, and was hated by much of the rest of the artistic community.
All in all a very good resume in my book.
Chimps fling poo, not apes. Get it right, get it tight. Tall leftists with no eyes mean mean business.
Well, his work wasn’t to my taste; but I do like the street lamps.
I think chimps are among the panins - one of the great ape families.
No it was just a little ice cream
Chimps are apes. And my sister worked at our zoo for a while, and the orangutans most certainly did fling their body waste. In fact, they filled their mouths with their own pee and squirted it at zookeepers.
Thanks, guys.
All I know is what google says. Always ready to doubt them!
It’s time to start beating the crap out of these weasel snowflakes.
From ‘Mental Floss’:
‘According to the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, this type of behavior isn’t usually seen in free-roaming chimps in the wild. While the species is still prone to throwing things, they usually stick to rocks or branches when they want to express their annoyance. In captivity, foreign objects are not usually in abundance, and chimps that are feeling frustrated or anxious will instead opt to toss the one thing that’s in plentiful supply: poop.
‘Ease of access is not the only reason a chimpanzee will launch feces. When a chimp is in captivity, throwing poop is likely to cause a reaction—either from zoo employees or guests. Chimps will begin to associate the act (throwing fecal matter) to a response (usually surprise or horror). Though this behavior isn’t limited to them—howler monkeys in Belize also do it—chimps are probably the most well-known example. In tossing their crap, chimps realize that they can control the behavior of others to some degree. If they throw an overhand turd, people will run.’
There is also speculation that the better poo-tossers have more brain development/intelligence.

Some one burns rubber on a BLM crosswalk and it is considered a federal hate crime with the full force of the FBI. Justice is DEAD in America.
