I mean, of course destroying someone else’s property would be prosecuted. Why does this deserve a whole article.

Mental health issues are not being addressed as well as they should.
Bro needs an internet detox.
Also possibly a laxative after eating all that paper.

I like modern art but a lot of it is just lazy people who just do something stupid and the use a lot of words to describe the thing they just made/did. It’s funny to see one lazy performer having a tantrum with the “art” of another even lazier person.
