Court: Attempted Murder Is Not Performance Art
Here’s a great example as to how anything can be art and yet still be illegal.
A court struck down an appeal by Belfast’s most notorious militant to overturn his convictions on Thursday, dismissing claims he only brought weapons to parliament as props for a piece of performance art.
Michael Stone carried an array of weapons to parliament in 2006, including an ax, three knives, a strangulation cord, seven homemade grenades and a small bomb. He claimed all of them were props in a cutting-edge piece of performance art and he had no intention to kill anyone.
