The vandalization of historical landmarks is nothing new but as the Isreal vs Palestine conflict continues, incidents are only escalating.
In the latest act of stupidity, perpetrators targeted Buckingham Fountain in Chicago, which has been open since 1927. This past weekend pro-Hamas vandals dyed the fountain water red, spray-painted the bricks, and left messages such as "Gaza is bleeding" and "Stop genocide" in front of it.
Protesters chose to disrupt what could have been a fun weekend for everyone, all in the name of "social justice," without regard for those who had come out to see this historic fountain.
CBS News reported that many people were left confused. Tom Martin, visiting from Washington, expressed his reaction, saying, "I expected to see water! I mean, come on, and yeah, it's a little disappointing."
Chicago police reported no arrests or injuries, though this isn't the first time the fountain has drawn attention due to pro-Palestine protests; a camp was set up in front of it a few weeks ago, which was promptly removed.
