Last week, in an effort to attack President Donald Trump, Mayor Bill de Blasio spent city time and money to paint a Black Lives Matter on the street outside of Trump Tower. While Trump has been supportive of the general statement, he has been critical of the far leftist BLM group.
From Townhall: Blasio : When we say Black Lives Matter, there is no more American statement, there is no more patriotic statement because there is no America without Black America, de Blasio said in a statement. We are acknowledging the truth of ourselves as Americans by saying Black Lives Matter. We are righting a wrong.
On the contrary, painting a symbol on the ground does nothing to right wrongs and is all about trying to gain political points. What actually says you care about black lives is action, actually righting wrongs, like stopping the spikes in shootings that that took the life of 1 year old Davell Gardner, Jr. on Sunday, as he sat in his stroller with his family at a cookout in Brooklyn. It means putting back the anticrime unit that helped save lives that you removed in an effort to appease the defund the police folks.
De Blasio got heckled for his priorities when he was helping to paint the letters on the street.
Then someone tossed red paint on it on Monday.

He had it repainted within hours and then made it clear that it was about endorsing the BLM political movement.
Mayor Bill de Blasio @NYCMayor To whoever vandalized our mural on 5th Avenue: nice try. @NYC_DOT has already fixed it. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is more than words, and it cant be undone.
Meanwhile failing to actually care about the lives of New Yorkers, including black lives.
Tammy Bruce @HeyTammyBruce Replying to @NYCMayor and @NYC_DOT As youre distracting people w painting on streets: NYC sees 15 shootings in 15-hour span as gun violence surge continues
Plus, 5 more people were shot in the hours after the little boy was shot on Sunday.
Whats ironic on top of it all is that if you if this were vandalism done by BLM it likely wouldnt be investigated at all. But this will is being investigated by the police that the BLM wants to defund.
He supports Black Supremecim
I’m getting tired of painted letters on a street being referred to as a mural. Murals are about art. Painted letters are just sign painting.
Heres hoping the detectives assigned to hunt down the vandal take their own sweet time getting around to it.
The shootings are no problem, he’ll just blame them on Donald Trump and his sheep-like citizen followers will believe every word.
.....painted on a wall !!
Should have painted a rainbow over it.
People will do what people do.
And at some point, the dude that would splatter some red paint on the asphalt sign figures he’s getting ignored a little too often and a little too smugly by his betters.
And then uses grandad’s old deer rifle to cast a vote from a rooftop against hizzoner during the next photo op.
Gun violence? Guns aren’t violent at all, it’s the killers that wield them that are.
It’s so irritating.
I wonder if they started using that term out of ignorance, or to elevate their graffiti as part of the whole BLM scam and imply that it’s literally street art.

Hey I made a mural
Red paint is cheap.
It’s not a mural. It’s a taunt aimed at Trump Tower.
Street art, LOL. I’ve heard apologists for gang graffiti say that the graffiti is actually art.
Yes.
Sheesh.
Wasn’t there a movie about NYC with Kurt Russell? Guess things were being foretold.
just imagine what someone could do with a tar or irrigation truck...
and having the NYPD investigate this - you mean maybe INTERNAL AFFAIRS??
Bwahahahahah!!!!!
This pathetic and thoroughly despicable man has chosen to give his favor to the extreme left hate-America political movement BLM. He does not care about Blacks and is very happy to see them killed as long as he can keep worshiping his new god, BLM, and they keep supporting him and his political career.
Nope, Dope: There is no more RACIST statement.
