I've heard arguments like his before, only then it was the ruining of a public water fountain with the touch of a black man. It repulsed and destroyed the enjoyment of a public utility by "sensible white southern belles."
A public object my be used by the public, and if a private object is mis-used then the owner must be the one to file suit.
If a black man sees a white racist about to use a park bench and he rubs it all over with his crotch just to piss off the sensibilities of the racist, he hasn't committed a crime.
In the same way that the black man touched the park bench to highlight the free speech issue of racial equality, the teenage "touched" the jesus statue.
