Redwood City Scrubs Black Lives Matter Mural After Trump Supporter Asks to Paint ‘MAGA 2020’ on Same Street

But, last Thursday, the city washed the sign away after being contacted by local real estate attorney Maria Rutenburg, who said that if the street was now a public forum, she wanted a sign of her own reading “MAGA 2020.”

“I saw “Black Lives Matter” sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt and I figured that’s gonna be a new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out, too.” Rutenburg said.

“MAGA” is, of course, short for Make America Great Again, a rallying cry for supporters of President Trump. Faced with the possibility of a political and/or legal fight, the city suddenly decided that Dan Pease’s sign was a traffic hazard that might cause accidents and they removed it in the middle of the night. Pease says he doesn’t consider “Black Lives Matter” to be a political statement but he understands the position the city was in.

“I have no hard feelings to the city council,” Pease said. “I am disappointed but, at the same time, I am very grateful that they allowed me to put that message on Broadway.”

BLM (burn, loot murder) is a rabid marxist organization that hides behind black people and uses racism as a shield.
It’s hellbent on the overthrow of the USA, and anyone that supports that crap is plain stupid...er, I mean lib.

“Black Lives Matter” is a violent, Marxist, racist, America-hating black supremacist political organization. Writing it on the street is very much a political sign.

Should have asked to put “all black lives matter” instead.

I salute you. Be hysterical to watch them call that hate speech.

If it's not connected with the radical leftist movement, I'm fine with the statement "Black Lives Matter", as I am with the statements "White Lives Matter", "Brown Lives Matter", and "All Lives Matter". Maybe they can paint all of them on the street.

Or maybe we can behave like adults and refrain from scrawling graffiti on streets.

The way to make that statement is "black people matter."

It has the exact same meaning, but isn't connected the the Burn Loot Murder marxist group.

Those that are in favor of BLM should ask themselves where all the money is. Companies have been “shaken down” like they are with Jackson and Sharpton. BLM have millions. Has any money been given to 1 black person or business? Has any money been given to businesses that have been looted? No money has been given to any person or business owned by a person of color. All those whites who feel such tremendous guilt need to look at this.

I want to paint a new set of 10 commandments on the street.

Thou shall not pillage.
Thou shall not graffiti-tag.
Thou shall not commit arson.
Thou shall not assault.
Thou shall not riot.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's car.
Thou shall get off welfare.
Thou shall get a job.
Thou shall stay off social media.
Thou shall STFU.
