You would have a point if I was arguing that the artist doesn't have the right to do what he did, legally.
While the artist shouldn't be persecuted from the government, it doesn't mean that I won't exercise my right to kick his ass.
Then, the government can prosecute me, but I won't feel too bad about it.
Related to this case, I wouldn't be suprised if the diplomat is fined / charged with a minor crime. (or perhaps he was already, I really don't know). I suppose I can't really argue that this would be inappropriate, given that the law is the law. However, I maintain that one shouldn't really be ALL that aghast that he did what he did, and to suggest that he's a QUOTE: FUCKING IDIOT for doing what he did, is wrong.
