This is an accepted display at a university? Only in Kentucky...Zeviander

[QUOTE="JoeRatz16"]

At Western Kentucky University there is a display of 3700 crosses set up by the university group Hilltoppers for Life. The 3700 crosses represent how many babies are killed by abortions per day in the United States. Well a group of vandals decided to vandalize this display by putting condoms over the crosses, and the Hilltoppers for life folk caught them and called police, but the police refused to arrest the vandals saying that they were not committing vandalism.

Hilltoppers for Life owns the crosses so it is their property, so how is this not vandalism (never mind the fact that this is sacrilegious). The vandals, mostly art students, said that what they were doing was part of an approved assignment. As John Sohl, president of Hilltoppers for life said "how does the university have the right to approve assignments that vandalize and desecrate the property and displays of other people?"

And apparently one of the students who vandalized this display actually got school credit for doing so. Quite crazy.

It is kind of disturbing to see so many people apparently supportive of desecrating and vandalizing people's displays.

Again, it's not vandalism. You're welcome to discuss the offensiveness or sacrilege side of things, but don't make false accusations.

But yes it is offensive and sacrilegious.

Next thing you know people will be shoving spaghettios up their crotch and peeing in the can or dancing on butter and calling it art,DJ_Lae

Furthermore, it was on university property -- setting up the crosses in the first place is as much vandalism as putting the condoms on them.

1) They didn't do any damage or anything
2) The display became problem and solution. Problem: aborted babies, solution: condoms. I feel like these people should get along.

That's not vandalism. There was no destruction or damage to any property.
