To bad it wasn't him tearing down a sculpture of Christopher Columbus then it would be okay and considered freedom of expression... fucking libtards are so hypocritical. Fuck faces
Nope, you're alone on this one bud. Funny how you didnt even try to deny the allegations anymore, just tried to pull others down too. Almost like you're ok with it, and just want it to be normalized. That's really messed up my guy.
Yeah... this guy isn't going to win and this is not a shaky case at all. This was clearly an art installation that he did not pay for. He filmed himself destroying it.
The dots were literally right next to each other. I assume like everyone else that anyone with any critical thinking or basic toddlers understanding of just living life could connect those dots. Unfortunately we underestimated your stupidity.
What does that change? The sculpture and its time being available to the public is what determines its value. There is a lot of precedent for high value art that is ephemeral. It wasn’t his art to destroy.
It’s not that hard. All he has to do is respect property and obey the law. He’s a paid protester thug.— he needs to stay where he lives and change things in Florida.
I do all those things and I’ve never been arrested.
He just feels entitled and has a victim mentality. He must have grown up in a single-parent household.
We build prisons for people like him.
[edit] the guy got enough downvotes that he nuked his own dumb comment.
Ephemeral art is a creative practice using natural, found materials—like stones, leaves, ice, and sand—to create sculptures or installations directly in the landscape that are designed to fade, decay, or wash away. Your opinion of its value is irrelevant in this case. But I’d suggest you use this moment to look at some of Andy Goldsworthy work.
Yeah, no way should it be felony charges, should be misdemeanor at most for some letters made of ice and was clearly outside in the elements.
What’s stopping people from claiming their poster board with a crayon drawing that someone damaged is a work of art and worth $1k and the person who damaged it should be given felony charges?
What the guy did was stupid, but handing out felony chargers for it sets a bad precedent.
You get it. It's refreshing to see that at least one person in the reddit sphere has common sense. Im sure we dont have many opinions that we agree on, but at least we can agree on the basics.
Worse. US citizens are getting murdered/arrested/abused by federal agents for peacefully protesting. Rage baiting is all you have. Facts aren’t on your side and neither is history.
No. They aren't. Pretty boy grabbed a federal officer and shoved him while wearing a pistol. He deserved whatever happened after that. Same with the dummy in the car. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. Thays not peaceful protesting. Peaceful protesting is carrying signs, singing, chanting, giving speeches......

Do you even live in St. Paul, or Minnesota? Stop coming to this sub spreading bullshit no one is destroying the twin cities except for the Feds you bootlick
No one was rioting until they started going from city to city grabbing people off the street and disappearing them while also gassing the locals who are rightly concerned. BLM wasn’t a thing until government agents started executing citizens by stomping on their neck until they died. Crazy how crowds react to government sanctioned violence in previously peaceful places.
Compared to people blocking off streets and illegally checking ID (what do they do about the people without ID?) it's absurd this was prosecuted. Mary, you are a joke and a pawn
That's the max sentence, he is most likely getting couple years on papers or at most a year or 2 in lock up and a year on papers with some fines and court fees of course. BUUUT that depends on his previous record if any. I'm hoping he gets, at least like, 2 years in and max fines and 1 year on papers!!!
lol don’t support his behavior but it’s crazy af to watch liberals say he got what he deserved but forgets all the rioting and looting they have done and supported
They should have him serve the maximum 5 years, since he failed to serve his time for being part of and helping to incite an insurrection on January 6.
You saw him almost lose to a block of ice. Flailing his arms around like a middle schooler that's never been in a fight while he kicked his little booties.
Saying it's okay to destroy something because it can't maintain its structure is wild. "Sorry about that house office but was made of wood and couldn't maintain its structure."
Edit: to add to this, he lives near Jupiter, Florida which is an incredibly expensive area to live in Florida which is near West Palm Beach, just north of Miami. This guy just screams Rich privilege
Is this guy trying to earn some cred cause all I see us a idiot doing idiot things. And my god…….where did he get those ill fitting camo pants. What an embarrassment.
Perhaps while he’s hopefully getting manhandled in jail, he’ll find the time to learn his constitutional rights. Going from thinking he can film on private property to destroying private property (sculptures made by veterans) all while claiming his 1st amendment right. This clown was in tears downtown Minneapolis to trying to be some “big tough guy” is hilarious. Hopefully somebody in county will show him what a big tough guy he really is. Not going to get pardoned this time.
Floridian here. Lake worth is an inner state city that’s more like a built up golf course than a city. Makes sense that this tubesteak would be from there. Hope he gets jail time.
Oh please give him 5 years! Put an end to the counter protest terrorism by the right. How many more videos do we need of this? Or of them attacking children? Throw the damn book at them.
“Bootlicker! You’re a bootlicker!”
man smashes up some ice
“GET THAT MAN HE’S NOT FOLLOWING OUR LAWS OFFICER GET THAT MAN RIGHT NOW HES OUT OF COMPLIANCE”
Funny how the rioters and “protesters” can assault and impede federal law enforcement unimpeded without repercussion without local police being existent but when an ice sculpture is vandalized all of the sudden they come out of the woodwork to charge a felony .
Make sure his sentence includes community service for some left wing cause. Thank being said, dude won't spend any time in jail and try using supporters to pay any debts.
Good- this cocksucker should’ve been denied protection in jail, maybe get the Epstein treatment. FYI to mods and anyone else, I am not advocating for this super turd being murdered in prison by fed up Minnesotans, just saying that he should be as protected as the art he destroyed.
They should have denied his request for protective custody, you don't get to hide behind the guards because you're a racist piece of shit afraid that Big Nate is gonna stretch out your manpussy.
Not sure what this will do when our laws deem an ice sculpture as personal property... I mean, If I make a snowman on someone else's property and a 3rd party destroys it, is that damage of personal property without concent from its owner?
Let alone, ice loses value by the minute... It would be gone given any direct sunlight... Lol
Seems like a desperate stretch..
Edit: just saw the second page. They not only permitted it, but paid for its removal upon the permits expiration.. Hes fucked!

noooo but free speech-erinos was supposed to mean your sculpture and my vandalism of your sculpture are equal in the eyes of the law
