Not Impressed.
I’d rather punch a Constable.
I’ll get me coat.
Don’t Turner round.
I have no problem running over people in GTA but this actually pains me. Not the Monet!
Don’t think this was covered here at the time, maybe i missed it.
Is it just me or is 6 years pretty harsh? Granted he has a string of convictions and this might be 3rd strike territory.
So what would you suggest some gobshite who decides to deliberately damage a priceless piece of art should be sentenced to?
It’s not priceless. It’s a second-rate Monet.
You’re kind of missing the point – a sentence should be both a punishment to the offender and a deterrent to potential offenders..
Like the death penalty.
I like it. It’s quaint.
What are you talking about second-rate?
It’s not good for Monet. It’s one of his minor paintings.
One of his minor paintings?
As opposed to the 40ft triptychs in the Met is it?
Minor how?
I would have thought psychiatric treatment would be more appropriate.
Not every as$hole gets to use that excuse.
Yeah, like non violent prisoners over in that capitalist paradise you reside in, working for 30c an hour –

Both the person who punched the canvas and the creator of this are fools.
Who remembers the ‘punch the monkey’ ads from the start of the century? Good times.
and monkies on roller skates
as if more encouragement was needed to deface or vandalise public artwork in this country.
The gallery in that game is shit.
You wasted your entire budget on a single Monet and have no other painting.
And now you have nothing to show for it.
He deserved his sentence. What kind of cretin uses a work of art as a punchbag. Then tries to pretend he had a dizzy spell and sort of fell on it.
