What's the matter with these men now days?

Women can’t spray paint?

It would have been pink spray paint. Duh.

Maybe someone is just trying to send a message these immigrants coming to Plymouth need to go back where they came from.

You are really an expert at playing the victim, especially when there is no evidence supporting your claim.

I think he was making a joke about the original pilgrims, but these days can't really be sure #poe's law

You're a real pro at this, so I'm sure you'll be able to point to where that comment was "playing the victim". I might grant you inane, but victim? Nah.

Logs out so he can like it 30 times overnight.

Get a life.

There is a very long history of individuals defacing Plymouth Rock. I have somewhere a news clipping from the 1930s reporting that it had been painted red and that this was likely the work of communists. Yes, the Red Scare was around long before Joseph McCarthy.

I generally deplore graffiti, but I did come across some really fabulous graffiti on Plymouth Rock one time that was removed almost to the point of invisibility, but not quite. I have a photo. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, it simply said "The New World" - almost like a directional sign.

Could this paint be a PR stunt before Plymouth 400? Hmmmm

With spring just a month away and another Memorial Day in view, has there been any word or media curiosity on the cover-up of last year's vast destruction and swastika painting at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial at the entrance to UMass Boston? We've all seen the unusual, special treatment extended to Governor Baker's son, credibly accused but not prosecuted for groping a woman on a flight. We were also told that an unnamed fugitive wanted on a previous felony was accused in the UMass case but inexplicably not arraigned and no follow-up. Whose "kid" committed the UMass destruction, including swastika, then got away with it? Did the suspect not fit the media narrative?

To answer your questions, yes, there has been. It was Gary's kid. And the media narrative fit pretty well, but it was tight in the midsection.

By BostonDog on Mon, 02/17/2020 - 2:01pm.

If you know who did the crime. Or ask one of your cop friends if you think they know. There's no media conspiracy.

Would make Art Bell blush.

Plymouth rock is defaced every six months why haven't surveillance cameras been installed. I know that graffiti on the MBTA is not a priority for either the District Attorney or the police but every time a train is vandalized the train is taken out of service punishing riders who will be late trying to get to work or school.

Not so tolerant of you :(

Tell us how this rock hurts your feelings and we will consider your request

Sea level rise oughta take care of it.

Do people realize the rock is just a random one chosen for aesthetic reasons and has no inherent historic significance, also it's literally just a common big granite boulder and it would be a challenge to do any meaningful damage to it ?
Also, found no results for 508 mof - anybody know what it is ?
