can we have an emote of just the frowny face?

The :( is sending me

They should have him hold hands with a 3 foot tall mouse like the Walt Disney and Mickey statue.

Except the 3 foot tall mouse is Ben Shapiro.

Are they going to shoot him as they do with the Emmet Till sign?

They installed a new sign in 2019. It's half an inch of AR500 steel, twice as thick as a Level III body armor plate. On top of that, it's covered in ¾ inch thick bullet resistant acrylic. There are hidden security cameras around it and within a few months of the new sign being installed, the cameras recorded footage of a white supremacist rally being held in front of it.

The guy is fully a meme now. Nobody outside of facebook memaws and racist uncles thinks he's a Christlike martyr.

And when they inevitably put cameras around it such that one can't spend that much time vandalizing it, I'd like to remind one and all that paintball guns with red paintballs, balaclavas, and electric bicycles exist. For no reason at all, of course.

Newer cameras may ping ebikes looking for device IDs. Some rides may be better done acoustic, at least until antenna-less ebike systems are offered (or modded).

Sorry, what? What manufacturers are putting transponders in their eBikes?

I don't have an ebike, but if yours has Bluetooth or WiFi, that's trackable.

Ew, why would you even want that? That's terrible. No, my e-bike doesn't have any of that stuff.

lets you use your phone as a speedometer and integrates with those exercise apps that snitch on secret military bases i guess.

Unrelated, but thermite is pretty easy to make.

wrong status: PROVEN

Why is a baseball cap dragging down his whole left side like that, bro does your statue even lift

It's not supposed to be bronze in the universe of the statue

I hope it gets ~~stolen~~ expropriated, or at least vandalized enough times that they have to take it down.

lotta good bronze

They're just expressing the well-founded, and certainly widely-shared concern that this beautiful monument received such limited funding that they couldn't have built it into the majestic fountain that the public needed for closure and remembrance.

: (

Edit: that statue has some really weird vibes. Did he do a hand-on-my-thrusted-hip wave often? Why doesn’t his beanie have a propeller on it? Why are his facial features appropriately proportioned for his head?

He should be wearing a diaper

He wasn't one of the diaper wearers tho...

Or was there a second diaper event?

What fresh hell is this?

TPUSA did a protest where they wore diapers and dressed up like babies to show how liberals are all babies. Or something. Nobody really knows because it was probably college Republican fetish shit.

Why is the face so large

Looks good to me

He's in a pretty gay looking pose.
