Rant about this mornings stupid graffiti stunt
On one hand, I don’t want to give him any attention, but on the other hand… absolutely fuck that guy who climbed the Bolte and vandalized it with that garish bird. I get so annoyed every time I see them and now with the absolute waste of money and time that will have had to go towards this it’s extra infuriating. Maybe if he’d had a proper message aside from “taxes lol”. The energy and effort that would have gone into a stunt like this could have been impressive had it not been such a bullshit act.I was hoping they'd shoot him down.
I'd just ignore him. He'll get hungry and come down eventually. They know who he is, they can just go and arrest him later. It seems like a waste of resources to hang around waiting for him.
If you stop traffic for stupidity there needs to be punishment.
agree
He’s a menace. Hopefully they’ll lock him up longer this time. How does he think the police that had to deal with him are paid, and how is the bridge gonna get fixed? Taxes. Taxes that could have gone elsewhere. Thanks for wasting our money ya drop kick. The bird is not even appealing either. I’ve seen better graffiti on a bin at my local train station.
