The sack of Rome

Ululululu, says Pepe. Blah, says Rot.

If this statue were valuable, they would have mentioned who the artist was, this is likely no more than a gift shop trinket biting the dust. Not exactly une Affaire d'État.

There is a continuum between breaking a trinket and breaking the Pietà. I don't know what that statue was, but it looks a bit more substantial than a "trinket". And a statue of the Virgin Mary has at least emotional value to some people -- those commie vandals evidently don't give a hoot about trampling on other people's sacred symbols. But that's always been the guiding philosophy of leftists-- going back to the French Revolution, when they destroyed untold number of religious artifacts (in addition to chopping the heads of untold number of people, of course, which is an even more basic aspiration of the Left since its inception, but that's another subject, for another time).

There's the same continuum between jay-walking and starting an armed revolution.
The french revolution sadly destroyed countless works of art and, without condoning the destruction of what is likely someone else's property, I don't think this rises to the same level.

Charly is not impressed by any Sack which can't match one of his Nawlins sojourns for sheer collateral damage.

He'd rather jump into the Sack with Kayla, perhaps?
