Literally smeared washable paint on a display case. Thank god for those for-profit prisons, right? Someone will make money.

I actually think it looks really cool in the thumbnail, the red adds a lot.

Whoever is prosecuting this is a fucking moron trying to prove a point.

They are not worried about the art, they are worried about the protest.

Oh no, an invaluable display case! They'll never financially recover from that...

Everyone visiting was probably very traumatized to see glass smeared with washable paint, and then for the people who did it to sit down with their hands in the air.
