Black Lives Matter mural by Trump Tower becomes scene of heated clashes

The giant new “Black Lives Matter” sign in front of Trump Tower has become a flashpoint for protesters clashing over the statement.

On Saturday — just two days after Mayor Bill de Blasio was jeered as he helped paint the large yellow mural — there were further ugly confrontations as dozens of “All Lives Matter” counter-protesters descended on Fifth Avenue, photos and video show.

As the group unveiled several flags, including “thin blue line” ones showing support for law enforcement, an opposing protester raced over and swiped a flagpole — almost starting a brawl, video showed.

“You feel big and proud over that?” someone asked the flagpole stealer, who replied, “Yes.”

One woman screamed “--- you” at Black Lives Matter protesters, giving double middle-finger salutes — also making exaggerated coughing and sneezing gestures seemingly to scare rivals during the coronavirus pandemic, the footage shows.

Wearing an “All Lives Matter” T-shirt and “Make America Great Again” red cap, the woman posed for pictures kneeling and raising a fist — gestures normally used to represent the “Black Lives Matter” cause.

A group also photobombed a man who appeared to be filming on his phone about the death of George Floyd, finally given up and screaming “--- you!” as they filled the frame and gave rude gestures.

The “All Lives Matter” protesters then started chanting “USA” and “commie scum” to drown out the BLM chants

Maybe the New York Italians and Irish will get involved. I’d do a PPV for that matchup.

100% divisive by a 100% racist Mayor.

It will great to see him gone.
It will happen, bet me.
No one likes his crap other than radical marxist A-holes. They are limited, but growing

If there are no more rules in NYC, Trump supporters could install sniper nests in the Trump Tower and start to take out the trash

Sooner or later, the gloves WILL be off

his radical black wife is causing a lot of the problems in NYC. I have no doubt she is behind much of this.

The Trump Organization should sue for something. That graffiti can’t help the business operations of Trump Tower.

A blm mural is the same as burning a cross in someone’s front yard. The mural is designed simply to intimidate.

Black Lives Matter is a Black Supremecist movement.

It would be a shame if a car passing over the BLM sign “accidentally” released a bucket of red paint on it. Maybe an open bucket of paint could be rigged to the undercarriage of a car and released while the car is moving.
