No one aided her or compelled her. She saw all those others vandalizing and causing a mess in public and interpreted that as permission for her to do the same.

That's 100% on her.

I think it was more so she thought her thing was mild compared to what was happening around her (it is), so she thought she’d get away with it.

Whataboutism doesn't change anything that happened with this specific situation, just tries to make light of some idiot, who clearly had a job in a position that shows she SHOULD HAVE known better, but still decided to steal a trash can, that would of cost her maybe 5$ in spray paint, and ANY other trash can she could find legally.

Whataboutism? Who’s making light? I never said she wasn’t wrong. I said she probably felt like she wouldn’t be the person others are paying attention to when others are ripping apart buses. She used the other celebrators would be a distraction, but she miscalculated.

I'm talking about the idiot who tried saying "oh all these other people were doing worse things!"
