Probably gonna take a lot of heat for this one, but I don't think people should be damaging public toilets like this

Weeks? What took em so long lmao

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 37 points 1 week ago

After reading the article, there initially was a security around the grave, it eventually was relaxed which allowed someone to do this. After this incident they restored it.

They were too busy punching the Nazis that visited it beforehand.

Love to see it.

If his wikipedia page is anything to go by then this reaction is not surprising

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 31 points 1 week ago

I'm obviously against tomb profanation, but for reference, when people vandalised a Jewish cemetery, he stoked antisemitism and publicly supported the act. Pointing fingers at communists instead of his own followers which were, in the end, the perpetrators.

So, yeah, fuck that guy, and fuck respecting him and his cold bloated dead body.

Absolutely despicable that it took this long

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau called the damage "an absolute abjection".

Yes, yes, we should be more respectful of the people whose core value is having no respect for anyone but themselves. People who will vandalise Jewish war cemeteries and spray paint the gravestones with swastikas, for example.

Leave my pissing spot alone :(

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The tomb was vandalised, but like how so? Did they just like smash the grave stone? Did they smash like the door of the tomb if it's more like a mausoleum? I'd like details please. Whatever it was keep up the good work!

The article has the Twitter post that showed the picture.

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I don't understand why people make comments like this instead of just describing the picture or what happened.

I went to the article didn't see any picture, and im sure as fuck not going to twatter.

Thanks for letting us know there's a picture somewhere I guess.

You have to admire the right's dedication to public toilet infrastructure.

No one mourns the wicked! Get him!
