wow those bids are really high
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;32153259]Maybe in the UK, where they overreact to this type of thing more. (I've read how in the UK they can accuse you of being a terrorist and they don't even need proof of any sort)[/QUOTE] I'm actually American in England atm. Studied law for a bit last year.
[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;32152030]The problem I have with terror laws is that they're usually incredibly vague. I think this news article is a pretty good example of that.[/QUOTE] Because otherwise they are racist as fuck and that's not (openly) allowed.
[QUOTE=Mr. Sun;32153389]I'm actually American in England atm.

He is a terrorist. To the government and Fox news watchers. To those who know what's going on, he is a hero because he is burning the very thing that corrupts the US government. Corporations.
I'm sure he appreciates the publicity
Wow, that was rude, they didn't let him finish the bird's eye view version. [img]http://i.imgur.com/N802J.png[/img]
The paintings aren't even that great...
I'm so going to buy one and gift it to the local bank.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;32153131]His paintings aren't being destroyed, he hasn't been imprisoned and he's still allowed to paint too, no violation of free speech here.[/QUOTE] Your right, I didn't really mean to say that it was an actual violation. Just seems paranoid. (which is obvious)

Imagine that canvas hanging on the lobby of a chase bank
This just sounds like another assault on art to me. I doubt anyone thought he was a terrorist, they just didn't like what he was trying to say.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;32155542]...Shade?[/QUOTE] Mobile darkness to shade evil-doings on-the-go perhaps?

Damit now i want one of them
In the same sense that you would question someone making death threats towards someone, or question them for painting a picture of a person being stabbed or something. I personally believe the police did nothing wrong. All they did was ask him some questions. At least they care enough.
It looks like a couple of cops failed to understand abstract theory in high school. :eng101:
The banks should buy the paintings and hang them in the lobby.
