Vandal Over a Barrel

RALEIGH, North Carolina — When Joseph Carnevale chopped up three stolen orange and white traffic barrels from a construction site to create a massive sculpture of a roadside monster thumbing a ride, the North Carolina college student said he saw it as a form of street art.
Police just saw vandalism.
They dismantled the 10-foot "barrel monster" and arrested Carnevale. Hundreds of online supporters want the charges dropped and the publicity has turned the history major and part-time construction worker into a local celebrity.
Even the construction company has become a fan, and wants the 21-year-old to create a replica of the figure that led to his arrest on June 10.

...it may be cute, but the bottom line is taxpayers flip the bill for roadside safety apparatuses...but leave it to a culture of selfish apathy to glorify vandalism...
