Next he'll run through a Jewish town screaming Heil Hitler! There is nothing constructive about what he did, so why do people care what happens to him?
You mean, why do people care about Constitutional rights?

The question is not about how much respect you give inanimate objects. The question at hand is this: Does the constitution give one person the freedom to desecrate something belonging to another person. I think you realize it does not but just don't want to admit you are wrong. So you take this silly position that its not okay to desecrate a human body....but it is okay to desecrate a religious symbol that belongs to someone else.....cause thats not important to you.
The statue was not damaged. Your argument is stupid.
The purpose of the statue is to provide inspiration. By desecrating it like that you destroy its ability to inspire. When the people who put it up look at it, the won't be thinking of Christ's agony, but rather they will be thinking of Christ giving a blow job to a 14 year old.
Like I said very early in this thread....this is really should be a civil matter and not a criminal one. Only the owners of the statue really know if they have suffered damages or not. It would be up to them to build a case if they had.....not a prosecutor.
