This info-graphic entitled ‘The Act of Vandalism’ provides us an overview of dealing with vandalized activities. Vandalism is an offense that happens when a person destroys or degrades the property of others without authorization. The effects of vandalism can consider graffiti, broken windows, damage to vehicles, and maybe the termination of a person’s personal/official website. In addition, the results of vandalism can be recovered on traffic signs, billboards, cemeteries, building structures, tunnels, near bus stops, and many other open spaces.
Vandalism encompasses a wide spectrum of crime from graffiti to window smashing. When it comes to talking over these protests, it’s hard to speak about them without prefacing that their cause is lawful: Indigenous people have been mistreated in our society for as long as we can recall, but only now has our generation seen such long term protest and distributed information.
Most of the larger protest organizers and leaders compel the use of vandalism and looting in their protests, as they expect it goes against the movement’s belief. Many of the states have laws that prohibit vandalism of certain form of property, such as churches, cars, government artefact, and school property.
