How did they get away with this? Did no one realise while they were destroying it?

@HollywoodMole

They are not getting away with it. They are definitely getting punished. But yeah, no one could stop them non-violently.

[idlehands]

Then maybe stopping them violently should have been considered an option.

[NotAMouse]

Well that's.... unfortunate.

Well, duh? He's our token Dutchman. Do you have a list of online Dutchmen I could borrow?

There are several countries located within the overarching Kingdom of the Netherlands. Officially, these include several Carribean island nations next to the European mainland country. Unfortunately, these official arrangements don't include a well-known and established fact, namely that Amsterdam isn't really a part of the rest of the Netherlands, and us superior Amsterdam citizens see the rest of the Dutch as incompetent yokel farmer peasants. I don't associate with these Visigoths.

Soccer fans don't even enjoy themselves as much. After 500 more years there will be another fountain destroyed. 500 years is quite alot honestly.

I know baroque art is all about involving the spectator. Probably not what Bernini had in mind all the same.
