Thin end if the wedge/slippery slope issue, ain't it.

 

We don't care about the painting of someone we don't know, so we don't nip this in the bud; green light to vandals.

 

By the time things build up to something you do care about it'll be too late.

 

Why do you think there is so much graffiti at this time ? (Even to the extent some daubs are considered valuable and protected, or sold for vast sums.) Because authorities didn't respond sufficiently as the incidents of such vandalism began increasing. They just encouraged it through their inaction.

Exactly my thoughts OG, the thin end of a very thick wedge..

Picasso is reputed to have been a misogynist - would it be ok (or just a minor annoyance) for a feminist protestor to destroy a Picasso painting worth millions? 

I think a few months in prison is called for.
