Proven yourselves stupid, that is.
The cannon has held pride of place outside the Reid Street building for the past 20 years, a solemn reminder of our soldiers’ sacrifices.
RSL club bar manager Trevor Baker slammed it as a dangerous and disrespectful act, and he’s right.
And that’s aside from the injuries the culprits could have caused others or themselves, or the damage to the cannon or buildings.
All of our city’s buildings and property should be treated as you would want someone to treat your own home — with respect. But sometimes, there are incidents that particularly hurt those affected and this is one of them.
By all means, go out and have fun but please, use a little intelligence.
