Definitely true, and I say that as someone who used to be a bit of an iconoclast in my teens and who now looks back on that boy with shame and disappointment.

Hey man that's growing up.
Just had a call with an old friend and he happily reminded me about how much of a fucking crazy asshole I was as a teenager.

didn't bart simpson do that to jebidiah springfield's statue?
ApacheSnow OP t1_jaccaxf wrote
I did some research and found who the statue was dedicated too, a woman from the 1800's. Let me know if anyone wants the backstory!

Of course we want the back story

Ok! I'll post what I learned in another comment! :)

It really was beautiful!! I'll make an edit and add what the actual inscription said too :)

[The comment] seems to have been removed, maybe because you mentioned a social media account (though you don't seem to have linked it, so that's weird). Unless someone reported you for "doxxing" a woman who died over 100 years ago...
Edit to add re below
ApacheSnow OP t1_jad1pbz wrote
Oh, really? That's a bummer, I really liked this photo and I wanted people to see it. Yeah I mentioned an account but never linked to it. No clue why it would be removed. This usually happen on this sub? Never posted here before.
SteveMcQwark t1_jad2bze wrote
Just your comment giving the backstory was removed, not the post. I should have clarified.
Direct links to social media aren't allowed, hence why I suspected the mention of your social media account might be the culprit, but yeah, that wasn't a direct link, so not sure what this is about. You can check out the rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/wiki/index/
I'm here from the front page, so not an expert on how the rules get applied.
ApacheSnow OP t1_jad2jbw wrote
Ahhh alright, gotcha! I'm a big lurker on reddit, but not a massive poster so I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to postning etiquette. Will check the rules though, thank you!

Not just the head, but the fingers too. I took another picture up close that shows all her fingers except the thumb all gone, crudely sawn-off

Students?
ApacheSnow OP t1_jacfsz6 wrote
I spoke to a man at the cemetery - a local who was walking his dog - who told me that this likely wasn't the handiwork of a student, but rather of one of the several homeless people who sometimes sleep on the overturned tombstones of several graves. I don't know if he was telling the truth or if it was just pure speculation, but apparently, the cemetery is "a notorious haunt for drug users and rough sleepers". While I don't condone vandalism, I can't help but think that whoever did it created a piece of iconoclastic art, intentionally or otherwise

ApacheSnow OP t1_jaclv2x wrote
When you say it like that, I'm reminded of the Great Old Ones and their sculptures and bas reliefs depicting their decapitated peers whose heads had been bitten off and feasted on by the Shoggoths.

We did this with the Ulysses S Grant statue in San Francisco.
Because winning the civil war and ending slavery doesn’t excuse owning a slave. Even if you regret it, end up freeing the slave, and later become a strong advocate of African Americans in the military.
