(Buckingham, Iowa) – A church in the east-central Iowa town of Buckingham was  recently vandalized by spray paint, with profanity and disrespectful images. The Tama County Sheriff’s Office posted on social media, Saturday: “Well, it seems like this rural Buckingham church has caught the attention of some budding “artists” who decided that spray painting on the side of the church was their best creative outlet. To the masterminds behind this masterpiece: congratulations on proving that a lack of intelligence can indeed lead to poor life choices. If you thought this was “cool”, all it really shows is how desperate you are for attention. Our communities deserve better, and we’re committed to keeping it that way!”
