“An 18-inch (45-centimeter) tall wooden cross was found suspended between two trees, and attached to the cross were several photographs and hand-drawn images.

Police arrested Russo after finding images of the stone and Russo online and linking to him an ‘iammark’ Twitter account with a reference to ‘a few improvements’ made to the site. Images on the cross also were linked to Russo.”

In just fifteen months?

Police said the rock tablet appeared to have been damaged by a power tool. It was carved with “WWG1WGA” and “IAMMARK.” Police said the first stands for “Where We Go One, We Go All,” a motto affiliated with the QAnon conspiracy theory.
...
America’s Stonehenge, which features cave-like, granite enclosures, has drawn believers who say it’s 1,000 or more years old, and skeptics who say the evidence suggests it was the work of a 19th century shoemaker.
Hahah is nothing real anymore?

I confess Carhenge did pop into my mind, but I was familiar with this place from two strains of my interests. Being a spooky New England spot, Lovecraft visited the site in the 1920s, and then the skeptical side of me was aware of the controversy over how old it is and who built it.

So vandalizing a random place, in the name of a cause, is a bad thing, yes?

Certainly.

A crime anyway. In some rare cases it might be civil disobedience that may not be 'bad'.

I suppose I could see that if the target of said disobedience was the the entity responsible for the actual injustice.

For instance, like the sit-ins that occurred in places where businesses were actively (and happily) taking part in segregation.
Greensboro sit-ins

However, I don't know if the same justification would apply to "I'm mad about this other injustice that's happening, so I'm going bust out a window of a random auto parts store just because it happens to be close by"

No, certainly not. I agree it's hard to think up situations where vandalism might be not-bad.
