    Hypothetically, what would be the easiest way to physically inscribe words into a solid bronze statue? To seriously scratch the word "Slaver" across his chest or something in a way that couldn't be simply wiped off?

      I don't know anything about handheld welding torches. For science - could they create enough heat and could they be used quickly? In theory - speed is of the essence.

        Yeah, that's the thing that makes me doubt any of this is really possible. Maybe with a LOT of practice specifically in using an angle grinder really fast you might be able to crudely scratch in a word in about a minute or two. Maybe

          NephewAlphaBravo has the best answer so far...

          Someone go down there and mush half a watermelon onto his stupid face

          Add some helpers filming it - and you've got a stew going. If the performance artists are lucky - a vid goes viral.
