Glad no permanent damage was done. “Princesse de Broglie,” by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres is one of my favorite works at the Met. Considering how many people visit the Met, one is pleasantly surprised vandalism is more rare than winning the lottery

[brownsfan]

Just another happy leftist.

He should Say he was protesting something, anything… Oh, bad man Orange! They will let him off with no charges and throw a parade….

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I have a solution for this.

Mamdani plans to empty all the prison and replace the police with social workers. When the transit system goes broke and the city owned groceries have empty shelves they may realize what a mistake they made. But they probably won’t since being a democrat means refusing to see the real world.

[Tell It Right]

No. He should say that he was pretending that he was a NY Mets fan throwing things at John Rocker in the bullpen.

I’m there with you. Rage set in motion will lead from items to animals then people. Mark my word he is a future wife/child abuser.

That’s a man, baby!

I was there last Saturday to see the Divine Egypt exhibit and spend some time in the Greek galleries. In my 20s I had a girlfriend who was a painter, and she would get as close as possible to the art to examine the brushstrokes. I can’t remember how many times a guard would yell at her to stay three inches from the painting. I picked up that habit from her, among others.

“”was turned over by his mother,””

He apparently wasn’t TURNED OVER enough by his mother in his younger years!

More likely Mamdami will loot the Met and store his fortune in Swiss vaults, like Arafat.

[No name given]

Apparently not.

If things get that bad the city will open free meth clinics. Give the people what they want - let them eat cake do drugs.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

appeared to be under the influence of an “unknown substance’’

Drugs? Or Leftism?

I strongly suspect you are right.

So a angry ‘young man’ threw a tantrum intentionally damaged priceless art in a museum and was sent home with mommy? Maybe the A-hole needed a kick in the ass and some jail time. Anybody wanna bet his mommy is a Dr. Spock liberal who never said no to her precious little baby?
