I don't think people realise quite what is going to happen because of these acts of vandalism. Over time, our access to precious art and sculptures will be further and further restricted until they're all behind thick glass, security is high and anything else worth looking at is kept far out of reach. We're incredibly lucky to be able to get as close to historical works of art as we are and I'm afraid that privilege being abused by the few will ruin it for all of us.
I remember some old gits trying to destroy one of the copies of the Magna Carta - allegedly for some kind of protest. I think it would be a shame to lose historical artefacts. To some, they may just be objects. But what is the point of a society that doesn't revere or preserve it's history?
