The answer is - because the people who created the graphic had PERMISSION to do it. The people who destroyed the graphic did NOT have permission to do so.

You want to beat that dead rotting horse about the OTHER vandalism going on in the country, you should have no trouble finding a dozen other threads about it.
I agree with you. Destruction is destruction. I agree all people should be subject to laws equally.

They don't seem to be. But I do agree with you.
