Drunk British Turist Accidentally Shatters Golden Colored Jesus Cricifix
Lithuania. Police are searching for two suspected British turists, specifically believed to be from the United Kingdom, who detached a golden colored statue of Jesus from a crucifix at the Shrine of Divine Mercy and accidentally shattered it on the street. Authorities have launched a pre-trial investigation into the incident, which took place in the historic Old Town of Lithuania's capital. CCTV cameras captured an apparently intoxicated man carrying the removed figure of Christ out of the courtyard to show an accompanying friend. While posing for a photo and lowering the figure onto the cobbled pavement, the statue broke and shattered into pieces before both men fled. The Vilnius Police have opened a pre-trial investigation under Article 284 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania for disturbing public order. If convicted, the suspect faces a fine, community service, or up to two years in prison. The shrine's priest, Elijas Anatolijus Markauskas, expressed distress over the destruction of the sacred image, which holds deep meaning for worshippers. |

Re: Drunk British Turist Accidentally Shatters Golden Colored Jesus Cricifix
This is why we can't have 'nice' things. I guess. As INRI means "I'm Nailed Right In", maybe this should've been affixed more solidly than a drunk could quickly overcome and run off with it, and/or not made of something so fragile. Was it (apparently) easily removable for... I dunno, cleaning or something? |
