A Black Lives Matter mural outside of Chicago was painted over to read "All Lives Matter" earlier this week, the latest occurrence of what has become a nationwide trend in recent weeks of vandals defacing similar BLM murals, as the U.S. painfully comes to terms with an evolving public dialogue centered around racism following the death of George Floyd. 'Black Lives Matter' mural painted in NYC NEW YORK, USA - JUNE 15: An aerial view of 'Black Lives Matter' mural painting is seen on Fulton ... KEY FACTS A portion of a street mural, which had been completed just two weeks ago in Oak Park (an Illinois neighborhood north of Chicago), was vandalized overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.
Overnight Monday into Tuesday, in Martinez, California, local police opened an investigation after "White Lives Matter" was illegally painted onto a roadway.

Do the gang members or whoever is painting these words on pavement all over realize that their message is futile?
ALL lives matter.
BLM appears to be a BM.
One could tag a lot of STOP signs in America.
thanks...how about it...right down the Congress.
(slide - My daughter owns a condo in Oak Park...she almost has it sold.
I spent way too much time in that foo-foo village.)
The name change for graffitti occurred the same day that we called 'criminal looting' and 'rioting'
and accepted the media imposed term of 'social justice'.
Who controls the language,.. controls the argument !
BLM has turned MILLIONS of Americans OFF.
If somebody was offended by the original mural, it’s okay to destroy it, right?
👍🤪
Excellent.
“BLM has turned MILLIONS of White Americans OFF.”
That’s exactly it. We’re sick of seeing criminals treated like martyrs and victims. They already get many more opportunities than white children just because of their color, and they aren’t the least bit grateful.
DITTO!
How about 20 lashes with a wet noodle? 😁
The next step is to paint black racists white and hand them a KKK sign.
Don't need to pay anybody. People can just take their dogs out in the street for a crap.
Check to see if there was no tread. If so, I bet it was Bubba.
The word mural originates from the Latin word “murus”, meaning wall. A mural is something on a wall!
These BLM paintings are not murals, they are streetals.
I say BLM has turned Millions of americans against blacks. Vandalism, assault, bad manners, thievery, graffiti, arson, destruction of monuments, etc. is pissing off Americans everywhere. Their lives don't matter much any more if this is what they'll do.
“BLM has turned Millions of all americans”
I am visiting Grand Rapids Michigan, which has a statue and small park honoring Rosa Parks. She catalyzed a tactic that was very effective andpeaceful means for blacks to force changes. They boycotted white businesses.
Why don’t they do that now? I believe it’s because this uprising is a thug and media-inspired thing with very little support from the average black person.
Are there city ordinances or state laws being violated here by these stupid murals? What about traffic?
Not in California. The 9th circuit court says in the Boise decision that public defecation is a ok.
