Police call it vandalism, but supporters say it's creative street art Barrel "monster" gets student arrested - Weird news- msnbc.com What? So our public servants, that work for us, to protect us, are the ones responsible for the arrest and putting this through court?! Holy shit, there is no crime! The owners of the barrels think of it as publicity, they arent pressing charges! Yip! Anyway, that monster is AWESOME I wouldnt press charges either.
While the monster looks fucking great, he did make it out of stolen barrels. But on the other hand, if the construction workers didn't want to press charges, then why did the police?
*shakes head at our court system then sighs* thats one of the cooler arts ive seen getting arrested for, i wouldn't press charges either, id probly submit it to an art museum. edit: oh i didn't see it was stolen property, but still for that much effort i still wouldn't press charges
And thats the point that drives it home. Its the construction company barrels that he stole, the construction company doesn't want to press charges. There is no crime. Police duties are to respond when help is needed, not to take justice of what they believe is right or wrong in their own hands.
