Do Stranger readers know any metal thieves?

"Though University Friends Meeting has not seen a history of vandalism waged against the statue,..."

Didn't someone hack off one of the statue's arms (the one holding the paper crane) back in 2003?

That park has been a massive encampment for the past month or so. Maybe start with the people sleeping there?

Some of whom, by the way, had a massive roll of metal cable recently. Which seemed a bit, uh, suspicious.

What the fuck is this wave of people sawing down these lovely, inoffensive statues around the country? Fuck you, chuckleheads.

Junkies need their fix - metal in public places is simply there for the taking. Coincidentally, saw this article today:

Don’t worry, once TS learns this was an act of survival thieving, it will quietly go away.

I love how the usual Slog suspects just RAN to their keyboards to turn this fucked up story into a way to score points against a blog that they can't seem to live without

Let's not jump to conclusions and blame this on people experiencing chronic homelessness, struggling with drug addiction, and justice-involved individuals. Just kidding, thieving methheads are vermin.
Duterte for mayor!
