Did you hear about the statue of a Confederate soldier that was vandalized last week in Rockville, Md.? Somebody spray-painted “Black Lives Matter” on the base and the town decided to protect it from future vandals by putting it in a box. We mean a literal box where just the head of the statue is visible:

Confederate in a box: Maryland officials hide statue in box to keep vandals at bay http://t.co/zD3wBWpjIm http://t.co/FspyWGbTfC

But the box seems to be taunting tweeters who are now sharing ideas on how to damage the now protected statue.
Some say burn it down:
@CassandraRules @deray Plywood burns.
Just sayin'.

Others prefer concrete:
@deray Someone should pour cement in that box.

@KarakDamnaz @deray yeah i was just thinking "if the top's open it sure is nice of them to build the concrete mold for us"

@deray Super! Now build that box higher and build it with concrete blocks. Then fill it with cement! That'll protect that statue properly…

More ideas:
@deray I see clean walls ready for paint and paste ups.

Or people can not vandalize the box. Why is that not an option?
