“Titled "Embrace," the 20-foot high statue was unveiled in Boston on Saturday, January 14, in the U.S.' oldest city park, Boston Common. Weighing 309 pounds, the statue sits on the site where the civil rights leader gave a speech on April 23, 1965.”

Regardless of whether it is ugly or not, how can a 20 foot high statue weigh only 309 pounds? Is it made out of marshmallow? If so, it’ll take care of itself after a couple of rains.

But opera doesn't solve the problem is my point those people are still humans that exist in this world. At one point they were babies, kids, and now adults that are still a part of this society. There are assholes out there and some are violent and not great people at times, but still human. Many with severe mental illness and drug addiction.

Responding with neglect and being inhumane does nothing and if anything just exacerbates the problem. They'll still be out there somewhere and the neighbors are still going to have to deal with loud ass opera music instead of us as a society dealing with/helping the homeless.

It kinda sounds like you were just being an ass hole to the Church, wouldn't leave them alone and force them to try weird shit to keep you away.

You were probably ruining their property and definitely causing trouble for any handicap people who might be at the church.

This story doesn't make you sound....very great.

Huh...they're not wrong. That is one ugly statue. It says it's supposed to be the arms and shoulders of the couple, but even knowing that, it looks like it's just arms holding up a penis. Or a sea critter that was found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, brought to the surface, went all blob-like, and is probably going to be known as the cockfish.
