Do you think he really intended the exhibit to be an artistic take on "character assassination?"

Seeing the pictures of the exhibit, i don't think that was the guys intention at all. It was very wrong to say the least.

it doesn't matter if he did or not

his right to express himself was squashed and so was my right to see it

not really....he said "I want to express this" and was denied that right, and I was the denied my right to see it. Whether he meant what he expressed or whether anyone gets it doesn't really matter at all.

It's a clear violation of the first amendment.

So do you think he really meant it as "character assassination" or was he bullshytin'?

I'm saying either way, it was illegal and immoral for the pigs to shut him down

this time it was art you didn't like (or more accurately, art you don't think you would have liked, as your right to see it was taken away)

next time it might be a song or a book

as far as the artists is concerned, he seems like a wretched human being, but he 's still an artist, has the right to make and show whatever art he wants, and I have the right to see it.
