More Damaged Statues [UPDATE]
- A few of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation’s Horses of Honor fell victim to their popularity during a busy Chicago Marathon weekend, with two vandalized and several damaged after people climbed or leaned on them.
The horses, decorated by local artists and installed along Michigan Avenue and in other parts of downtown, honor officers who died or were injured in the line of duty.
The company handling the approximately 60 statues’ installation has checked all of them for damage, and had to take three in to be repaired.
And big surprise - the one individual arrested? Local problem child:
- A Near West Side man who broke the wooden wings off a Chicago police memorial horse statue along North Michigan Avenue while sitting on it was ordered held on $50,000 bail today.
Darius Moss, 25, of the 2300 block of West Jackson Boulevard, is charged with three felony counts of criminal damage to property. Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered him held on $50,000 bail.
You just can't leave nice things out when company comes around.
UPDATE: The title of the Tribune piece is further proof of their decline from the voice of "Mid-Western Republican" to "Ball-Washers of the Illinois Combine"
Did you notice it took the Trib almost 3 days to identify the offender in custody? Anyone wonder why? Because they had to try to tie it into the crowds that attended the Chicago Marathon? Right - that's a crowd that has been notorious for years, destroying everything in their path as they jog throughout the city.

Judge Chiampis is a good judge who knows the law
Bail seems awful excessive for minor property damage. It isn't like he shot or knifed anyone.
Judge Chiampas is outstanding. Best of the best.
This piece of garbage Darius Moss lives at 2300 block of West Jackson Boulevard. That should say it all. The people that live over there are savages who already destroyed their own neighborhoods, so now they have nothing to do but wreck things downtown.
They should take his mamma's welfare check to cover the damages. Or better yet throw them out of their section 8 dwelling.
Im sick and tired of my tax dollars paying for pieces of garbage like Darius Moss!!
If the horses were commemorating a cop killer or Obama, the liberal douchebags would have posed for a picture with them and left them unscathed. Fucking sickening. Fallen officers cannot be honored without jagbag wastes of semen ruining the effort. Always remember brothers and sisters, this is what the left thinks of you while they have their phones out filming your traffic stop to hand over to Loevy & Lowww-vee.
If Obama had a son he would look like Darius Moss.
I am so upset that I am going to go loot, rob and burn the convenience store at the corner. That is my preferred form of protest.

No, it is much worse than that.
Judge Chiampas is the best - been around a long time and really knows her stuff.
Are any of us suppose to be surprised that the savage is damaging these supposely works of art! They hate us, liberal media hates us! But when they get shot watch them cry like a bitch when we get there! Put anything on display with police on it it will get vandalized!
In Greek mythology, wasn't Darius the one who made wings held together with wax, flew too close to the sun, with the wax melting and him falling to his death?
That's why he doesn't like wings.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Just a citizen says.
I was at the Hyatt for the unveiling of these horses and I knew the savages would mess with thrm. Not by just the random stupid tourists but the scum-sucking pieces of shit who roam the city, and no, I don't mean every single democrat. Although they are the cause of the problem. God bless every single one of you Officers.
The material used for these"works" of art are substandard.
The cost of the horses before anything is slapped on is about 7 grand.
The artist are free to put whatever they have in their garages and call it art.
Be wary of the fundraiser using police as the poster child for donating cash.
Like a famous ballerina once said ITS FOR DA KIDS!
Take them down. In this day and age it was a stupid idea to put them out there.it Just gives all the police haters a chance to act out their hate towards the police by damaging them.

Obama has probably had a few good dumps that look like him.
Hey, it's OK, everyone has the right to walk freely around the city, and this includes going downtown and on the so called Ave, Boul Mich and act like a savage, just because your daddy is a gangster and Mama a drug hustling HO, you are excused from obeying the law and can destroy something dedicated to fine outstanding people, Oh, but I forgot, these articles represent the PO-Lice and GOD knows the PO-Lice make your life miserable. Well I'm retired and I'm just a private citizen, but heaven help your savage Ass if I find some dog ass messing with these Horses.
Dipstick designer had no clue these statues would or could be tipped over? Why not anchor them (rods and a simple concrete base)...duh.
Clowns, tourists, anachists and dares alike toppled statues, headstones and climbed the Sears and Picasso...why, because they're there.
When someone or their child gets hurt, who will be the blame, CPMF?

Oh for shit's sake...
Can you imagine the world's biggest poot-butt
having a male heir to his legacy?
He doesn't even have a single "real man" in his
inner circle to give him real world, real man point of view and context to the fucked up policy he's pursuing because he's an anti-American idealogue who's smooth delivery caused so many to cream their panties because they finally found "one" who wasn't an actual child of America's legacy?
"He's not like those other guys..."
(Do the people who say this when they think no churls are around, actually have any real context for this line of thinking?")
If Obama had a son?
Lol... Can you imagine taking "how to be a man" lessons from Dear Leader Daddy, Eric Holder, Bill Ayers, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel?
"No No No little Sparkle-Fart! To pee, you must squat! Standing is too aggressive and threatening, non-inclusive and even racist!"
The kid would be a bulge-eyed over-prescribed basket case who simultaneously plays with matches and pisses the bed.
Anon 15:00 bail is set with the seriousness of the crime, background of the individual and the likely hood of him skipping bail. It's more than likely a felony amount of damage given that repairs arent made on the street like some ghetto taxi and the design and materials are one of a kind not some store bought chinese product. If you think bail is excessive post it and take the P O S home with you till his next court date, and leave him there while you go to work to feed him.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, but...
"How difficult is it to stay off of a piece of sculpture that doesn't explicitly invite you to climb on it?" -- SCC
Could have maybe designed something that people would be invited to climb on -- "interactive," as the Rahms and Redmoons would say -- but when some drunk toppled off and split his noggin on the cement, there'd be another lawsuit.
You can't win these days.
Me, I'm still laughing about the dogs peeing on the convenient nine-foot cast-iron Abramowicz monstrosities -- those headless, armless torso things. Now there was "interactive sculpture!"

It was Icarus in Greek mythology, not Darius. Darius wouldn't even make a decent size pimple on a good winged-horses ass. Speaking of pimples, and smaller ones (pimps, for short), has anyone heard anything from Barry or Eric regarding the witch-hunt, er, oops- I meant "investigation", about the Ferguson shooting?
I think damage to the horse was a hate crime and he should be charge with that in addition to everything in the book they can think of.
If this continues we should put up Winged Bats From the Asscrack of Satan to denigrate the death of Michael Brown. His culture,or lack of culture contributes to nothing but a spiral of death and destruction. It's time to take the gloves off.

Don't mean to correct you, but that was Icarus who tried to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax.

As a sponsor of a horse, I can tell you the sponsorship was a minimum of $3k plus $1k to the artist for supplies.
Not sure how many statues there are, but maybe they should have put them in front of the police stations.

Oh, no. You hit No. 1 and No. 2 already.
If you catch No. 3 here, little severed hamster skeletons, possum skulls and so forth stashed in cigar boxes under the bed, we got a genuine serious problem with ramifications for future expansion of the scope and hunt for bigger and bigger game -- like any intoxicated female who weaves past the Death Castle on her way to the next party. Or maybe just the guy who mops the floors around there.
Shrinks call this "the triad." Bedwetting, pyromania, cruelty to animals. Almost infallible indicators of the famous Loose Screw Up There.

Wait... wooden wings? Seems pretty short-sighted for an item just out on the street.
Should be metal - thick - welded on, bolted to the ground.... oh never mind... I get it - scrappers would steal it in 30 seconds after it was planted on the sidewalk...
So what to do? What to do? Yeah - make it out of something they don't want - like WOOD! Yeah, but better put a sign on it to keep people off so it doesn't get broken... yeah, that'll work.
NOT!

"'Do what thou wilt' shall be the whole of the law."

..or, as expressed by a wide variety of offenders when hauled up and confronted regarding a wide variety of offenses,
"Ees no like I keel someone."
The New Law Of The Street, formulated by those with the heartfelt conviction that the police should simply let them go for any crime less than actual on-view, bang bang bang murder.
I ain't buying it.

Trayvon Martin -- Obama's foster-son-by-vague-photographic-similarity -- had just purchased "sweet tea and Skittles" before he got busy beating George Zimmerman's head on the pavement.
Most recent one in St. Louis who got himself justifiably shot dead -- after turning on police and discharging 3-4 shots at them from a 9mm pistol found on the scene -- "had just bought a sandwich at a shop across the street not 10 minutes before," according to CNN.
Teddy bears and yellow ribbons and candles -- Dia De Los Muertes-style, as even CNN is beginning to notice -- were instantly set up around the hapless store. Then the curses and rocks began to fly.
We've been belabored at great length by the conventional, lickspittle media about the alleged "Food Desert" -- as graphicaly illustrated by a Chicago-based violent parolee who made it all the way out to Indian Head Park not to purchase fruit, but to commit a burglary which culminated in the disgusting, savage murder of a teenage girl, for which he is now serving 160 years -- but what is this emerging theme? "He be eatin', so he cain't be doin' no wrong with he free hand."
The "Food Defense?"

Cruelty to critters crossed our mind.
Thanks... Nice catch.

Walk into some of these houses maaaann.
Dysfunction and crazy as a family inheritance

The guy is a POS. He was wanted in connection with a murder this summer that happened at Fullerton/Greenview.
Savages such as Moss should be castrated. These leeches steal, vandalize, rob, rape, and then get freebies from the government.
