The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Meh. He didn't harm anything. He just broke the rule of, "keep off the memorial."
Basically, a non-event. Why is this news?
Serious question for you: I wonder if you would feel different if your parent had died in the war being memorialized?
I'm trying to figure out if you are saying "This doesn't affect me so I don't care" or maybe, "Memorials serve no purpose" or something else. Cheers,
That's not the point. The point is nothing at all actually happened.
It's the monument equivalent of shouting, "you're ugly" at someone. Disrespectful, sure, but newsworthy? No.
