Lorne Thurston and Joseph McIntyre were planning to get an up-close look at the Wayne Gretzky statue in downtown Edmonton on Friday, when they realized it had been smeared with what appeared to be – and strongly smelled like – feces.
...
“Disappointing,” he said. “It shouldn’t have been done.”
...
The pair were part of a group of friends who stopped to watch as an employee walked out of Rogers Place and wiped Gretzky’s face with a towel doused in cleaning product.
...
“Why would someone want to do that?” said Taylor, standing with the group of friends at the statue.
“[The statue] might not mean much to some people, but it means something to other people.”
That's the point.
