A Black Lives Matter mural painted on a street in a village outside of Chicago has been altered to say “All Lives Matter.”

The incident in Oak Park is now being investigated by police as an act of vandalism, officials say.

“The movement lives within us,” Kasani Cannon, one of the artists who painted the mural, told Fox32 Chicago. “You can paint over it, you can drive over it, but once this mural dries, our movement still goes on.”

I have a feeling once the Soros money dries up, their AstroTurf movement dies.

You see kids, if you change a racist slogan like “Black Lives Matter”, painted on a public street, to a non-racist slogan like “All Lives Matter”, that’s “vandalism.”

But if you deface and tear down statues of Abraham Lincoln or Frederick Douglas, that’s “protesting”, which is a time-honored tradition in America.

There is no truth anymore.

The NewThink only allows one to be “art” while the other is “graffiti” and must be investigated and acted upon.

Many of the things we are seeing I did not believe would start until or near the beginning of the tribulation (shorthand for the 7 years).

I do not believe the 7 years have started yet (there is no announced peace deal) and I’m pre-trib anyways. IMHO, these things are signs of the times leading to the 7 years. Warped thinking, left is right, up is down, good is evil and evil is good. Spirit of antichrist on display.

However, the d@mned (literally it seems) reprobates are marching in the streets to the cheers of fools and Godless reprobate thinking is rampant - at least in the minds of the politicians the Democrats vote for.

A nation cannot survive NewThink. And that’s what the Liberal Media champions.

All of that is a Captain Obvious I know. It’s obvious to us - not to the people destroying the country.

Betting this will be turned into a “hate crime” as soon as they determine that the perps are White.

Graffiti = mural
Alter graffiti = vandalism


Exactly. Orwellian world we live in now.

God would say, “ALL LIVES MATTER.”

I’ll stick with that opinion.

LOL, if you watch the video it’s 95% white people.

They didn’t want to have to re-do it because of misspellings.

"Vandals?"

I believe they were 'protestors.' Were those who spray painted graffiti on buildings or spray painted, damaged or pulled down statues "vandals?"

Were they damaging "art?"

Is vandalizing vandalism vandalism?
A complex philosophical question.

This is OAK PARK Illinois!
Not some fake back in the hills Oak Park.

The favorite son of Oak Park, Ernest Hemingway(the real one) once said; Oak Park, wide lawns and narrow minds.

And he was such a good commie too.

Things have not changed much since he left town.

We have relatives and friends from the east coast to the west coast and in between.

That simple statement, “All Lives Matter!” becomes a clarifier with where your ministers/whatevers stand.

If they don’t answer, mutter and try to change the subject. you know where they are coming from and trying to dodge that reality.

Vandals? Why are they not “activists”?

Excellent response!

What’s the problem? BLM has already shown the world that no statue, no work of art is sacred in any way, so deal with it,Bro.!

Here’s a little bit of splash-back from the other half of America.

All Lives Matter.

I believe the phrase “All lives matter” has been judged by the mob to be Hate Speech and will be punished accordingly.
