Brutal Bunny Violence
On Sunday, a man in Wilton Manors, Florida, drove his car into a piece of public art called Thunderbunny. I wish I could show you this video: it’s shocking.
The driver was Derek Alan Modrok. As it was a South Florida crime, one might expect there to be some rancid ideology behind the attack—that Modrok was expressing an opinion on “wokeness” or “trans” shit or whatever other Republican bullshit is floating around. Modrok has confessed, and his stated motivation was a beef with the city’s former mayor, Justin Flippen. According to NBC News South Florida, Modrok “told police he vandalized the statue because Flippen was responsible for the birds that we hear.” Thunderbunny was located in Justin Flippin Park. I guess running his car at a speed of five miles an hour into a statue was his way of Flippen the bird.
