Black Lives Matter mural by Trump Tower becomes scene of heated clashes
NY Post ^ | July 12, 2020 | 4:56pm | Lee Brown

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

Al Sharpton: This is really assuredly definitely the mostest and onliest physical thing I has done since slave days.

DeBlasio: Hush now, hear?

Always thought altering the city street markings was illegal.

By us they erased the double yellow centerline and painted that across both lanes in the same DOT reflective yellow.

Yes...saw the clip of it online. Bill Clinton commuted her 56 year prison sentence on his last day in office. He pardoned/commuted sentences of 140 people that day.

No, that’s So Sharpton. I see the resemblance, though.

His wife who claims she use to be a lesbian. Funny, the left always tells us sexuality is not a choice.

“Maybe an open bucket of paint could be rigged to the undercarriage of a car and released while the car is moving.”

Note: A simple single line could change BLM to BUM.

You are just using the Eurocentric definition of ‘mural’, you know like 2 + 2 = 4. Who are you to impose your definitions?

All that said, someone, somewhere, decided to describe these BLM street paintings as murals, since stories from everywhere seem to be using the term. And of course any attempt to cover or alter them in any way is called vandalism, as if they were works of ‘art’.

In St. Louis, the couple who defended their home have their guns seized, the people who broke into a gated, private community are not charged and are suddenly the victims.

To: who knows what evil?

I was looking into a story about the magazine Teen Vogue indoctrinating teen girls, and sure enough, they had this article about the founder of BLM teaming up with Angela Davis calling for “Prison abolition”. So they want NO cops and NO prison. This is the garbage teen girls are reading......
