What is wrong with people that they use any half-hearted excuse to smash shit up? People have put schools on fire, put cars in the scrapyard, taken every busstop apart, put graffiti on buildings... and that was only in the last two days!!
It pays testament to the state of our society that we need these acts of violence to feel alive, to draw attention, or just to entertain ourselves. And there's little to no protection possible, because people will say doing so violates their freedoms: their freedom of speech, freedom to express themselves, freedom to do as they please.
And that's total crap; there's no kind of freedom that permits you to insult my mother. I see no freedom for anyone to take a mallet through my car's windshield. And I definitely don't see why you need to be entertained by burning every Ford Ka in the neighborhood. (well... okay...)
Optimus Prime was wrong. Freedom is not the right of all sentient beings. Freedom is a responsibility.
