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.

German sympathizers in the leadup to WWII and after Pearl Harbor found their placards ripped and put into the garbage. William Randolph Hearst refused to print anything critical of Hitler in his millions of copies of newspapers all over the country. He owned papers in NY,LA, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle and many other cities. He called Hitler's anti-Semitic diatribes "scribbles of ink on some pieces of paper" that didn't reflect his accommodating nature once someone understood his aims to unify Germany.
We need to oppose the anti-American BLM Marxists.
Why are these BLM signs in the street allowed?
I live in Cherry Hill, NJ. Over a year ago the police department had a blue line painted along side the yellow line near the side of the road in front of the police station and town hall.
They were forced to remove it because NJ state law only allows official traffic markings to be painted in the street. I’m guessing many other locations are similar.
Aren’t these BS BLM matter markings in the street in violation of some local law?
A mural is on a wall. These street paintings are either going to be run over by vehicles or they are going to impede traffic, neither of which is a positive. Think about bicyclists on that shiny yellow paint when it rains.
Since it’s legal to defecate in public these days I think it would be a hoot to pay a bu... er I an undomiciled individual a few bucks to empty his bowels on one of these ‘murals’ and record it and post to social media.
I always aim to excel. If I am to be called a racist simply because I am white, then I shall become the very best racist I can be.
Oh, is vandalism bad now? When did that happen?
Mural?? It’s GRAFFITTI you Idiots!!!!
Oh OK, if someone paints over BLM’s grafitti it is the act of a “vandal”, but the original grafitti was just A-OK super cool? Bullsh8t.
It’s amazing what a balloon filled with paint can do when thrown...
A dialogue is when both sides get to present their views.
Soon people will be leaving their doggie poop bags on the murals is my guess.
Hell, when did they start calling graffiti a mural?
“Hey, you can’t graffiti our graffiti! That’s graffiti!”
BLM has done an incredible amount of damage to Blacks in America.
Anyone who thinks a person can burn, riot, and loot to demand that society correct "perceived" but vague, undefinable systemic unfairness (without BTW being able to actually proposed a solution to remedy such unfairness) is irrational and knows nothing about human behavior.
When White people encounter Black people now, their first thought is going to be a question, "I wonder if this person hates me just because of my race?"
Did anyone stop and think what happens when the “street art” gets rained on? Was the paint used compliant with DOT and NHTSA regs? How slick will those stretches of road become when they get wet or snow/ice covered? This sounds like negligence if not reckless endangerment.
Free Speech.
I love it.
