Thieves have taken two of Selmaa s butterflies. Steve Grossman, president of the Dallas County Arts Alliance, said he noticed one in front of Alston Keitha s office missing Sunday and another, the one painted ...

And just what are they going to do with them??

THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOOOO MAD!!!!!

Do you know how many hours each one of the artists and myself have put into this for SELMA?

I believe and I speak for myself that there is a place for art here.In Chicago ,New York ....shall I go on? This is a small city in comparison to the others and NO ONE is taking thier art.

my .02....for what it is worth!!!!!!!

Can't agree with you more! What are they going to do with them - sit them in their living room? Hold them for ransom???? Only in Selma........

There is a poll on STJ about it.

Did you think one or more of the butterflies would be stolen or vandalized?

It's real sad.

I am so sad that someone stole these symbols of re-birth. I am not surprised, but it does sadden me.

The artists in this community did an outstanding job on these. I just hope the ones who took them are found and brought to justice!

[God Bless Selma]

I think it's a misguided prank and when the culprits are found it will surprise some of us.

I mean.... really... what're Ya gonna do with two gigantic butterfly's?????

I think they should embarrass these thugs to the maximum limit possible. Thid is why Selma can't have anything worth a damn. And these people want a new Movie Theater? Go ahead Selma...pay $2 million for one.....watch it close in 6 months. Maybe they can name it after Perkins for his great impact to Selma. Loser.

so one of the girls who stole one of them commented that she saw the butterfly "and just wanted it, so we took it."
Where do they get this sense of entitlement?

ahhhhh peace
