Initially I thought it might have just been a juvenile delinquent (aka yoot) on a breaking spree, but returning after 30 minutes to complete the failed initial attempt indicates a real purpose and intent. The casualness of destroying other people’s property is a signpost of how our society has regressed from civil virtues.

They were too cheap and/or too street smart to buy tickets to burning man?

Most are unaware of the event, if they were... a groundswell of demand for transport, lodging tickets...

And in a year or so Burning Man would be over.
Just like the “Freaknic” festival in Chicago.

Don't they cast statues from bronze or other metals, chisel from stone, or carve from frozen butter? Is everything made from paper maché or Kleenex?

This specimen probably can from Clydes Discount Critter Cave; paper maché or Kleenex make the top sellers.

Fireproofing is an extra.

If they could only catch the guy and lock him in stocks right where the statue stood, with a couple of baskets of spoiled vegetables nearby for anyone wanting to chuck them, letting him live on bread and water in the weather for a couple weeks and whatever rotten tomato juice he can catch in his mouth when kids hurl tomatoes at him.

Probably made from fiberglass, able to withstand weather and wear but not gasoline. The smoke was black, which it wouldn’t be if it were paper. Must have smelled lovely.

“The claim there is Trump supporters did it. You have proof to the contrary?”
The people making the claim (accusation) are the ones who must provide the proof of guilt.

Proof? The MSM and the DEMs don’t need proof. Trump is evil, and the ends justify the means. By the time the lie has been exposed, the MSM and the DEMs are already onto the next bogus claim.
