Somebody threw green paint on statue and base of the Lincoln Memorial.
I don’t get it. It is a really pretty sculpture, and a memorial to a guy that presided over an acute national crisis, saw it through to that he believed was correct, and then got murdered for his trouble.
If you could ask the person, and if they answered truthfully, what do you suppose the answer would be?

“Lincoln freed the slaves. I don’t even want to look at his picture on a $5 bill.”
I have given up trying to imagine the “why” for a lot most of the craziness in the world. I’d be interested to hear the person’s alleged reasons, in that person’s own words, but I’m not going to try to guess at the reasons from here.
“It is because I live a worthless, hateful and miserable life and I want to share my pain with the world”.
“Well, I had this extra paint and didn’t know what else to do with it. I have an IQ of 60 and am very susceptible to suggestion. I don’t know who that dude is.”
I was wondering why the hell someone would do such a thing. I never understand vandelism. I wonder if it had anything to do with making a statement about Lincoln, or if it was attention seeking? Whoever did it is a miserable person.
At least paint is cleaned with with some chemicals or a pressure washer. At least they didn’t use a chisel.
Probably out of frustration with the daily reality that we all live with, and clearly, whoever did this has no respect for history or what our history represents to us.
Had to be an eco-terrorist. They are the only ones who would use green.
If it was burnt orange I would say it was a T-sip.
Trying to figure out crazy people makes you crazy! lol
Pffft….“why” in crazy is unanswerable.
I wasn’t thinking cause I was on meth.
@Nimis more likely a southern sympathizer. We still have not forgiven the yankee for that “War of Northern Aggression”.
