Raised Hands Surround Us Three Nails To Protect Us |
People really piss me off anymore. The vast majority of my Sundays after church with friends in High School were spent at Eden Park in Cincinnati. Arguably one of the most beautiful places in Cincinnati. You’ve got River over looks, multiple ponds, fountains, a great little live theater, and the Krohn Conservatory a wonderful place to go no matter the weather. But one of my favorite things is a sculpture of Romulus and Remus being fed by the Wolf it was a gift to Cincinnati by the City of Rome in 1931. Vandals hacked the wolf off at the paws and took it!!!

Not vandalism. Theft. Stolen for scrap value of bronze. Romulus and Remus now look like they are saying: "WTF"? End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

That is horrible. The rhetorical question asked way to often these days. "What the hell is wrong with people." "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Sadly, I would not be surprised if some douche magoos did it because it was a gift from during the time of Mussolini. There was a douche magoo of a councilman a few years back boo hooing about it. Scrap it to sell they would have to travel pretty far to get rid of it. It’s pretty well known around there. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

The original of that statue is in a museum in Rome, Italy. There is a similar statue in Sienna, Italy, near the cathedral. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I've delivered to every scrapyard in the Cincinnati area. I can't see any of them paying for it for scrap. Maybe. Police visit them frequently. People suck! | |||

People suck. I hope they find them, prosecute them heavily, and restore the historical statue to its original condition. (however, that is one ugly ass statue) | |||

Wow I forgot all about that park It has been many many years since I was there ( I relocated from Columbus OH just after 9/11 and it was before that) I despise people I am starting to think it is a good thing that Police Depts are not calling me. In the last week couple of weeks there was a theft of a Native American Sculpture in Oklahoma. | |||

Someone stole "The Jazz Player" bronze statue this week in Little Rock. Gonna be a run on bronze scrap? If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Scavengers most likely. Is it time to regulate or, put under surveillance scrap yards, smelters and recyclers? | |||

The scrap places around here seem to be regulated. My small business generates a fair amount of scrap metal, and I make the occasional trip to the scrap metal business to get a few bucks for it. Recently, they have asked for identification before buying the stuff. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

That's effed up. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
