I was doing my normal rounds through the Internet looking up news when I came upon an article that lead me to the video below:
Liberty Vox Pop Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfDZWMByAU0#ws-lq-lq2-hq-vhq-hd)

So what do you guys think?
I don't condone the alleged theft of this statue for a moment. The video is actually a rather crafty bit of symbolism and the ironic intelligence in it may be completely inadvertent and lost on the originators - I have no idea. I guess it's designed to get exactly the reaction you see in the comments, which is (as usual) flypaper for morons.
I say scrap her. The statue of liberty stands as a symbol of a value this country no longer holds. Also, it is made of copper, which has skyrocketed in value. 60,000 pounds will fetch quite a bit on the scrap market.
