These are long standing works of beautiful art that rival the great basilicas of the world in beauty and awe! How dare this rayciss cracka deface them!
If that were me, I don't know if I could have done it. I am too much of a hot head.
When I was in the Navy, I didn't drink coffee. Just didn't start until recently in life where I need it now.
But I was tasked with maintenance of the Line Shack Coffee Mess. We would draw a great big can of coffee, sugar, creamer, etc and a person was chosen to maintain it. I got chosen, and I objected because I didn't drink coffee. They ended up making me do it, and I protested hotly, but...I was forced to do it.
Now, here's the thing. I knew nothing about coffee. Didn't know the first thing, and I thought I would screw up their coffee but they insisted.
I said fine.
On the ship in our Line Shack right under the flight deck near the bow, we had a great big wooden board which everyone hung their coffee cups from. People were serious about their coffee.
Well, I was supposed to square it away, first thing so I took all those cups down (probably 20-30) and I cleaned them thoroughly and hung them back up sparklingly clean. Layers of nicotine and coffee residue, but now, the colors of all the logos and stuff stood out like new.
What I didn't know (not being a coffee drinker) was that some people actually LIKED their coffee cup in that coated, stained, dilapidated state. They didn't want anyone to wash it.
But it was what I washed them with that they took the most umbrage to-I used waterless aircraft cleaner and rags, just as if I would clean the oil streaked underside of a plane. I sprayed in the cup, let it set, then went in with a clean rag (that we got out of bundles they delivered) and wiped them spotlessly clean.
They were pretty pissed at me, and I was ten times more pissed and ready to take them all on at one time, I was that hot about being forced to do it. They eventually forgave me, but they never did ask me to cover the coffee mess again.
In retrospect I understand it was two stubborn entities colliding head on, me and my Chief. He was into doing things the way they always had, and It became a burr under my saddle because I didn't think it was fair. I cheerfully did the scuttiest of jobs, but this just rankled me.
Sorry for the long story, but...it does have a point. (I think)
If having to serve coffee pissed me off that badly because I thought it was unfair, I can't even imagine the volcanic level of pissed off someone could be who was a conservative and a police officer being forced to not only LOOK at that thing, but to have to DEFEND it...I cannot imagine.
They who see you as pigs, subhuman, needing to be sacrified at their altar (and jubilantly so) now FORCE you with the threat of disciplinary action and PAY for you to be there with YOUR OWN TAXES.
I'll tell you. I don't think I could do that. I can barely drive down the street without having to suppress an audible oath every time I drive by one...How could I see that thing, FORCED to see that thing, how could I see that and defend it?
My Self-Control Trophy goes out to those that did, even if they slow-walked it or whatever. I salute them, because I know. how hard that could have been for them, especially with a family, etc. I would have blown a fuse.
Because the mayor said so.
You’ve gotta admire her courage!
That woman has more guts than all of the elected GOP combined.
People should do this every night.
These aren’t Murals by any stretch of the imagination, these are stenciled street graffiti.
Is Blue Bloods still running?
I’d love to see this in an episode.

I could see Jamie sitting in
his dad’s office after the arrest
then after getting up leaving
black paint all over the couch.

Looked like the had fenced it off to begin with.
Tell me about it. Trump should invite her to the White house all paid trip, and let her talk to the press, totally take the wind out of DeBlasio and his Marxist crap, tell the truth how DeBlasio and his hypocritical dismantling the NYPDs anti-crime unit is in fact getting more blacks killed.
GoFundMe shut down her campaign 9 hours ago.
Bastards.
Effin' unbelievable. Then again... it's VERY believable. BASTARDS!
Black woman dumps paint on more Black Lives Matter murals in NYC: 'We want our police'
Yes! Hope she strikes *many more* times, and wipes out all of the disgusting BLM "murals".
