Ohio George Floyd Mural Destroyed After Being Struck By Lightning
National File ^ | July 13, 2021 | TOM PAPPERT

Posted on 07/13/2021 7:09:33 PM PDT by Trillian

Local media reports that the “north Toledo mural has been reduced to rubble” after reportedly being struck by lightning. Fire and rescue responded to the previous site of the mural, but were unable to render aid to the collapsed wall featuring Floyd’s face. “A witness who saw the wall fold told TFRD they had seen a lightning bolt strike the building,” local media reported. “The department later confirmed the strike to be the cause of the collapse.”

Video indicates the mural was created on July 10, 2020, meaning the idol to George Floyd lasted just over one year before being felled by nature. At the time of its creation, a Twitter user posted a video showing the mural being painted and wrote, “Community outreach with @Guttadave working on a mural in north Toledo Ohio in memories [sic] of George Floyd and all the people who died from Police brutality! !”

Icons to Floyd have become commonplace throughout the West since his death. Recently, one was defaced with black spray paint in Brooklyn. As National File reported, the monument commemorated Juneteenth and only lasted five days before it was defaced. “The George Floyd bust was splashed with black paint on the front, along with white graffiti painted on the sides that spelled out a URL linking to the website of the group claiming responsibility for the act. The statue was quickly restored during the day.”

Sounds like God is getting tired of idol worship.

I'm praying for less talk and more action.

Reminds me of how a tornado destroyed a Minneapolis church’s cross at the exaxt moment the church voted to approve gay pastors.

We were living in MN when that happened. It was very interesting, for sure.

Stuff to vomit over. They actually called firefighters to “render aid” to the collapsed wall.

This is the new religion. Worship of Floyd. His image is now sacred enough to call the fire and rescue crew.
