Ugh. I want to condemn the vandals for damaging something nice, and also how valuable is a statue, really, as compared to the disruption in Hong Kong? Is the harm done worth the awareness raised? Is it a useful way of raising awareness of the issue? I don't have any of the answers.
I mean... A crime is still a crime
No. This raises no awareness, the Hong Kong protests are already well known.
Well 90% of the population use the internet, so I'd say yes. And if they didn't know about the Hong Kong protests now, I doubt some graffiti will change anything.
Yes, fine, but my main point is the second one – some vandalism won't change anything.
