A Missouri congressman is demanding criminal charges against Rep. Duncan Hunter who yanked a student’s controversial painting off the U.S. Capitol walls Friday, according to the Washington Post.
Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., said his staff met Monday with members of the Capitol Police to press theft charges against Hunter, R-Alpine, who removed the painting Friday and delivered it to Clay’s office as he left a Republican conference meeting where the artwork was discussed.
“He had no right to take that picture down,” Clay told the Post Monday just off the House floor. “It’s thievery.”
The painting, by a recent high school graduate from Clay’s district, depicts a scene of civil unrest inspired by the 2014 events in Ferguson, Mo., and other recent protests against police led by African Americans. Several figures are depicted as animals, and some pro-police activists have said the rendering evokes derogatory images of police as pigs.

Put up a “Pi** MLK” piece of “art” up in its place. First amendment... This clay moron hates the police.
Put up this sign: LACY CLAY IS A RACIST.
They are also in-your-face bullies.
He calls the cops. That’s rich.
Just a slight correction.

Thanks
I was aware of the suit and know the idiot hubby took a big hit but I thought the mayor ran again BUT I must have heard her name mentioned as to her seat in the DNC and since I really don’t ‘pay attention’ to idiots and fools etc, I must have just assumed (I know, I know, Felix Unger) it was about the Mayors race.
This fool in DC is expecting an R Congress to back her assisted suicide bill, 15 per hr min wage, 6 wks(??) paid leave for husband or wife etc, and then turns around and says “”UP YOURS!! DC will be a sanctuary city and the taxpayers will fund the lawyers .....etc etc etc””
Good Luck ....
Actually the Cop, Wilson, was indeed aware of the robbery

Thanks.... I sort of quit ‘paying attention’ after the 40th version BUT my main gist was what those idiots consider a crime etc....
Excellent. Thanks.
