The fun part is that they called the cops immediately after it was installed. Couldn't even go 20 minutes without police descending on it lmao
imagining the cops emptying their guns firing at it and injuring themselves with ricochet
Without the awareness campaign you would never of known that some people don't have homes!
On Twitter it looks like the priest involved with this is raising money to feed, clothe, and house the homeless so it's possible the statue being in the news will get a lot more donations
It seems that this decoy has drawn the ire of all the people calling the cops. Fuck America though seriously. One side is performative, the other side is openly contemptuous and violent.
but this statue might be distracting police from the actual homeless people if people keep calling 911 on it
:surprised-pika:
“All of us serve the same masters, all of us nothin' but slaves
Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state”
I mean, clearly the bench wasn't there before without the statue.
But then, they could've put in one or more benches, too.
I mean it’s one bench. And apparently the priest who installed it is using the publicity to raise money to clothe, feed and house homeless people so I think we can let this one slide
It's a pretty dope sculpture though. Saw it live in front of a church, really takes you by surprise in a good way.
