George Floyd mural destroyed by lightning strike, witnesses say — and reactions are particularly pointed

A George Floyd mural in Toledo, Ohio, was destroyed by what witnesses say was a lightning strike, police told WTVG-TV.

What are the details? The building wall upon which the mural was painted collapsed, the station said, adding that WTVG's Doppler radar showed a lightning strike around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the block where the building — which used to house the Mugshots Bar — is located.

In the aftermath, the station said Toledo police were seen outside the building and setting up tape around the pile of bricks upon which the artwork was crafted.

The building itself is structurally sound, a city building inspector told WTVG, and the owner of the building is working to clean up the bricks and tear down the rest of the mural wall.

However, an updated version of WTVG's story added that Hugh Koogan, a city building inspector, told the Toledo Blade newspaper that the collapse was a result of natural deterioration and that the middle of the wall was bowing recently.

"It was just age," the inspector told the Blade, according to WTVG. "It just came away." It's unclear if Koogan is the city building inspector WTVG cited saying the building is structurally sound.

I guess Biden better call in the UN to investigate whether God is racist.

T’was an Act of God.
Notice only that painted face was destroyed, with the rest of the building left intact.
The idolized Golden Calf had to go!

Almighty God can and will use His Righteous Fury to Smite anything at any time.

This is especially true for “memorials” created by the ANTIFA-BLM-homosexual-pedophile terrorist cabal.

Anyone with a brain can see this was a Divine warning shot.

Is this a typical Morman belief? It’s coming from Glenn Beck’s Blaze. Maybe we should ask what Mittens feels.

Not to point out the obvious, but HaShem, the G-d of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is a jealous G-d. He does not take kindly to flare idols.

And he’s not always subtle.
