I think everyone should be forced to display a full-body shot of themselves (clothed of course unless you're into that) as their profile picture. I feel like we'd have a lot less tough guys around here.

Anyone buying it is a bigger disgrace

I'm the one in the middle!

How big would you be without your big sword 

Here’s my body shot in case anyone wants to get lemon 🍋 

Name one friend here.. .

So are you implying Ben Eine is NOT Banksy ? ?

People buy art for a lot of reasons, they like it, like the artist, but I.M.O a lot buy with investment in mind. (they do tend not to admit this most of the time) 
Lets say you were standing there and saw what happened, would you just blank it out and say, oh ill take that one, can you parcel it up for me. (don't think many would do this) What happened is now out in the open and no i would not buy his art, or any other artist that done the same. I have had to see my sister going through this crap for over 20 years, so maybe my views won't be the same as others. But really lets face it, supporting him "now" would be supporting his violence, after all the he pays for his drink from what he makes on his art.

*What baffles me most about this thread is the people making a laugh and joke about it*

I'm always up for a good laugh, but not at the expense of a woman being punched in the face.  

He pleaded guilty, not sure how much clearer it can be!?

Exactly!

He pleaded guilty. Sentencing is now a matter of course, not a question of will he or wont he get sentenced!
Christ there arr some morons around!!!

Well I think he has worked hard to get where he is and is paying the price for drinking too much and letting his temper get the better of him.

It's wrong to use physical violence on anyone in the way he did.

I have no interest in his art or clothing brand and I wouldn't condemn him or boycot his art as he is being dealt with by the law. Hopefully he will move forward and avoid alcohol and anything else which brings out his bad side.

Does it matter ?

Wow, a woman is assaulted by her boyfriend from behind, the assault was witnessed by members of the public, and her boyfriend pleaded guilty to court charges stemming from the incident.

And somehow people are still trying to excuse or defend his behavior and/or the support for his art. Someone even compared him to Picasso!

First of all, we allegedly live in an era where violence against women is no longer tolerated as it was in the past, and we, as modern consumers, are tasked with being ethically progressive in our consumption choices.

If you want to support a man after he recklessly and publicly assaulted a woman, that’s on you, but don’t you dare call us judgmental if we no longer support his art.
